Exchange of humidity and aerosol particles at the tropopause: Dynamics versus moist diabatics and radiation (B01)

• Subject Area: Atmospheric Science
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 428312742

We plan to study the small-scale processes shaping the ExTL under typical mid latitude synoptic conditions. For this we will combine high resolution measurements of trace gases and aerosol composition provided by A04 with ICON Lagrangian analyses and MECO(n) Eulerian chemical simulations at high resolution. The goal is to understand the processes contributing to the formation of the ExTL with focus on moisture transort and aerosol chemical proccessing.
