abstract = {The topic of this PhD thesis is the abundance of water
vapour at the tropical tropopause. For this purpose
measurements were made with the hygrometer FISH of ICG-1
from the Research Centre J¨ulich onboard the hight altitude
aircraft Geophysica. This experimental work was carried out
during two field campaigns in 2005 in Brazil (TROCCINOX) and
Australia (SCOUT-O3). Additional data from two other
tropical campaigns in Africa (AMMA) and over the Indian
Ocean (APE-THESEO) were also analysed. A seasonal cycle of
the tropopause height was confirmed by the observed vertical
profiles of water vapour (hygropause), saturation over ice
and temperature (cold point tropopause). The data collected
during the transfer flights show a seasonal motion of the
tropical tropopause. The water mixing ratio in the UT/LS
region is controlled by two different regimes: local
processes below about 410 K potential temperature and large
scale processes above this level. A propagation of water
vapour in the stratosphere consistent with the tape recorder
theory is shown. Particles were measured during the flights
at the upper boundary of convection. These particles
evaporate before they sediment again below the tropopause.
Futhermore the data show that a significant quantity of
water — more than previously thought — is transported
into the stratosphere by means of convection. Isolated
profiles over Africa show increased water vapour in
unsaturated air masses in clear sky. Analysis of backward
trajectories in conjunction with satellite data show that it
originates from areas with overshooting convection. The
background of the measured water concentration over Africa
during the measurements was affected by asian monsoon
regions.},
