abstract = {Deep intrusions of tropospheric air into the lower
stratosphere above the subtropical jet are investigated
using new observations and meteorological analyses. These
intrusions are characterized by low ozone concentration and
low static stability. The low-ozone layer is consistently
observed from ozonesonde profiles and satellite remote
sensing data from Aura/HIRDLS. The intruding layer occurs
along and under the poleward extending tropical tropopause,
which becomes the secondary tropopause in middle to high
latitudes. The association of the ozone and the thermal
structure provides evidence for the physical significance of
the subtropical tropopause break and the secondary
tropopause. The core of the intruding layer is typically
between 370 and 400 K potential temperature (similar to 15
km), but the vertical extent of the intrusion can impact
ozone above 400 K, the lower boundary of the overworld. Two
intrusion events over the continental United States in the
spring of 2007 are analyzed to show the spatial extent and
the temporal evolution of the intruding air mass. These
examples demonstrate the effectiveness of potential
temperature lapse rate, i.e., static stability, as a
diagnostic for the intrusion event. Comparison with the
potential vorticity field is made to show the
complementarity of the two dynamical fields. The static
stability diagnostic provides a tool to map out the
horizontal extent of the intruding layer and to investigate
its evolution. Furthermore, the diagnostic makes it possible
to forecast the intrusion event for field studies.},
