abstract = {Using High Resolution Dynamic Limb Sounder observations and
ERA-Interim reanalysis this study demonstrates that the warm
conveyor belt (WCB) is a mechanism responsible for the
relationship between the double tropopause (DT) and the
tropopause inversion layer (TIL), a relationship recently
suggested in the literature based on idealized model
simulations of baroclinic disturbances. Using these data
sets, spatial and temporal characteristics of the DT-TIL
relationship are examined over a 3 year period, 2005–2008.
In the extratropics, results from satellite data show that
as the TIL increases in strength, so does the frequency of
the DT, regardless of season or hemisphere. The inverse
relationship is found in the tropics. Using only DT
profiles, zonal composites of wind, relative vorticity, and
temperature from reanalysis data show that as the TIL
increases in strength, the upper tropospheric circulation
switches from cyclonic to anticyclonic, and the upward
vertical motion increases. This result suggests the WCB as a
mechanism since it is on the anticyclonic side of the jet
and is characterized by the movement of tropical air
poleward and upward from the surface. To verify this
relationship, the vertical and horizontal development of a
synoptic-scale baroclinic system is analyzed over a 4 day
period. Results show the equatorward extension of the polar
tropopause, and thus the formation of the DT, due to the
strengthening of the TIL in the region of vertical motion
associated with the WCB. Moreover, this result suggests that
air movement within the DT could originate from high
latitudes when associated with a baroclinic disturbance.},
