abstract = {High-resolution in situ balloon measurements of water
vapour, aerosol, methane and temperature in the upper
tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and lower stratosphere are
used to evaluate the processes affecting the stratospheric
water budget: horizontal transport (in-mixing) and hydration
by cross-tropopause overshooting updrafts. The obtained in
situ evidence of these phenomena are analysed using
satellite observations by Aura MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder)
and CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder
Satellite Observation) together with trajectory and
transport modelling performed using CLaMS (Chemical
Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere) and HYSPLIT (Hybrid
Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory)
model.Balloon soundings were conducted during March 2012 in
Bauru, Brazil (22.3° S) in the frame of the TRO-Pico
campaign for studying the impact of convective overshooting
on the stratospheric water budget. The balloon payloads
included two stratospheric hygrometers: FLASH-B
(Fluorescence Lyman-Alpha Stratospheric Hygrometer for
Balloon) and Pico-SDLA instrument as well as COBALD (Compact
Optical Backscatter Aerosol Detector) sondes, complemented
by Vaisala RS92 radiosondes. Water vapour vertical profiles
obtained independently by the two stratospheric hygrometers
are in excellent agreement, ensuring credibility of the
vertical structures observed.A signature of in-mixing is
inferred from a series of vertical profiles, showing
coincident enhancements in water vapour (of up to
0.5 ppmv) and aerosol at the 425 K (18.5 km) level.
Trajectory analysis unambiguously links these features to
intrusions from the Southern Hemisphere extratropical
stratosphere, containing more water and aerosol, as
demonstrated by MLS and CALIPSO global observations. The
in-mixing is successfully reproduced by CLaMS simulations,
showing a relatively moist filament extending to 20° S. A
signature of local cross-tropopause transport of water is
observed in a particular sounding, performed on a convective
day and revealing water vapour enhancements of up to
0.6 ppmv as high as the 404 K (17.8 km) level. These
are shown to originate from convective overshoots upwind
detected by an S-band weather radar operating locally in
Bauru.The accurate in situ observations uncover two
independent moisture pathways into the tropical lower
stratosphere, which are hardly detectable by space-borne
sounders. We argue that the moistening by horizontal
transport is limited by the weak meridional gradients of
water, whereas the fast convective cross-tropopause
transport, largely missed by global models, can have a
substantial effect, at least at a regional scale.},
