abstract = {To assess the impact of the vertical velocity scheme on
modeling transport in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), 3
month backward trajectories are initialized in the TTL for
boreal winter and summer 2002. The calculations are done in
either a kinematic scenario with pressure tendency as the
vertical velocity or in a diabatic scenario with
cross-isentropic velocity deduced from various diabatic
heating rates due to radiation (clear sky, all sky) and
latent, diffusive and turbulent heating. This work provides
a guideline for assessing the sensitivity of trajectory and
chemical transport model (CTM) results on the choice of the
vertical velocity scheme. We find that many transport
characteristics, such as time scales, pathways and
dispersion, crucially depend on the vertical velocity
scheme. The strongest tropical upwelling results from the
operational European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts kinematic scenario with the time scale for
ascending from 340 to 400 K of 1 month. For the ERA-Interim
kinematic and total diabatic scenarios, this time scale is
about 2 months, and for the all-sky scenario it is as long
as 2.5 months. In a diabatic scenario, the whole TTL
exhibits mean upward motion, whereas in a kinematic
scenario, regions of subsidence occur in the upper TTL.
However, some transport characteristics robustly emerge from
the different scenarios, such as an enhancement of residence
times between 350 and 380 K and a strong impact of
meridional in-mixing from the extratropics on the
composition of the TTL. Moreover, an increase of
meridionally transported air from the summer hemisphere into
the TTL (maximum for boreal summer) is found as an invariant
feature among all the scenarios.},
