abstract = {Water entering the stratosphere ([H2O]entry) is strongly
constrained by temperatures in the tropical tropopause layer
(TTL). Temperatures at tropical tropopause levels are
15–20 K below radiative equilibrium. A strengthening of
the residual circulation as suggested by general circulation
models in response to increasing greenhouse gases is, based
on radiative transfer calculations, estimated to lead to a
temperature decrease of about 2 K per $10\%$ change in
upwelling (with some sensitivity to vertical scale length).
For a uniform temperature change in the inner tropics,
[H2O]entry may be expected to change as predicted by the
temperature dependence of the vapor pressure, referred here
as “Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) scaling.” Under CC scaling,
this corresponds to ∼1 ppmv change in [H2O]entry per
$10\%$ change in upwelling. However, the change in upwelling
also changes the residence time of air in the TTL. We show
with trajectory calculations that this affects [H2O]entry,
such that [H2O]entry changes ∼10 $\%$ less than expected
from CC scaling. This residence time effect for water vapor
is a consequence of the spatiotemporal variance in the
temperature field. We show that for the present-day TTL, a
little more than half of the effect is due to the systematic
relation between flow and temperature field. The remainder
can be understood from the perspective of a random walk
problem, with slower ascent (longer path) increasing each
air parcel's probability to encounter anomalously low
temperatures. Our results show that atmospheric water vapor
may depart from CC scaling with mean temperatures even when
all physical processes of dehydration remain unchanged.},
