abstract = {We report airborne remote-sensing observations of a
tropopause fold during two crossings of the polar front jet
over northern Italy on 12 January 2016. The GLORIA
(Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
Atmosphere) observations allowed for a simultaneous mapping
of temperature, water vapour, and ozone. They revealed deep,
dry, and ozone-rich intrusions into the troposphere. The
mesoscale fine structures of dry filaments at the cyclonic
shear side north of the jet and tongues of moist air
entraining tropospheric air into the stratosphere along the
anticyclonic shear side south of the jet were clearly
resolved by GLORIA observations. Vertically propagating
mountain waves with recorded temperature residuals exceeding
±3K were detected above the Apennines. Their presence
enhanced gradients of all variables locally in the vicinity
of the tropopause. The combination of H2O − O3
correlations with potential temperature reveals an active
mixing region and shows clear evidence of
troposphere-to-stratosphere and stratosphere-to-troposphere
exchange. High-resolution short-term deterministic forecasts
of ECMWF's integrated forecast system (IFS) applying
GLORIA's observational filter reproduce location, shape, and
depth of the tropopause fold very well. The fine structure
of the mixing region, however, cannot be reproduced even
with the 9km horizontal resolution of the IFS, used here.
This case study demonstrates convincingly the capabilities
of linear limb-imaging observations to resolve mesoscale
fine structures in the upper troposphere and lower
stratosphere, validates the high quality of the IFS data,
and suggests that mountain wave perturbations have the
potential to modulate exchange processes in the vicinity of
tropopause folds.},
