abstract = {We present ozone and carbon monoxide measurements taken in
Darwin, Australia, during the wet season of 2005/2006, to
examine whether the composition of the Tropical Tropopause
Layer (TTL) reflects that of the local boundary layer or is
influenced more by advection from distant sources. We find
that the latter predominates in the upper TTL, and is also
the major influence in the lower TTL, except during an
active monsoon phase. The day-to-day variability of ozone in
the TTL is far greater than that in the lower troposphere,
and correlates closely with air mass origin deduced from
trajectory calculations based on standard ECMWF wind
analyses. Although clear evidence of recent local uplift was
found in carbon monoxide tracer measurements recorded inside
convective anvils, no such signal was found out-of-cloud in
the background TTL, where the measured variability
correlated well with air mass origin deduced from
back-trajectories. This study suggests that the composition
of the TTL is ultimately determined by vertical mixing in
certain "hot spot" regions of the tropics, with advection
from these regions dominating the composition elsewhere.},
