Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Ozone intrusions from the stratosphere to the troposphere occur as part of the Brewer-Dobson circulation, but the details of the microphysics of the process are unresolved. This research mainly focuses on near-tropopause regions, and examines stratospheric ozone intrusions into the troposphere across this stable zone. My research objective is to identify the small-scale atmospheric dynamical features responsible for the intrusion of stratospheric ozone into the troposphere, and to determine their relative importance from case to case.
Windprofiler radars, together with frequent ozonesonde launches, have been used to detect stratospheric ozone intrusions. This work has been supplemented by numerical simulation via …
