TTL COOLING AND DRYING DURING THE JANUARY 2013 STRATOSPHERIC SUDDEN WARMING Stephanie Evan; LACy/CNRS Karen Rosenlof; NOAA ESRL CSD Troy Thornberry; CIRES, University of Colorado & NOAA ESRL CSD Andrew Rollins; CIRES, University of Colorado & NOAA ESRL Sergey Khaykin; LATMOS/CNRS Paper submitted to QJRMS ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014

Contrasting 2013 with 2014, using gridded MLS water vapor at 82 mb. Note: 2006 is similar to 2013

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Plumb&Bell 1982

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Data from NOAA CPC 30 mb 65N- 90N Temps 70 mb 25S- 25N Temps

The 2013 case was a strong event that apparently impacted zonally averaged water vapor, and, conveniently with aircraft data to back up the satellite observations of very low stratospheric water vapor. Stephanie’s paper looks at this event in detail: Examining the relation between tropical tropopause cooling, the SSW, and convective activity in the Western Pacific. ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014

Aircraft data: from NOAA_Water (Thornberry, Rollins, Gao) Balloon data: NOAA_FPH, launched from Hilo (Hurst) 1)Verify that satellite measurements are reasonable Note: MLS 82 mb tropical zonal average for Jan is 3.13 ppmv; value for 2013 is 2.56 ppmv

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 During winter 2012/2013, conditions were similar to that in winter 2005/2006 1)Easterly shear (cold) phase of the QBO 2)Major Sudden Stratospheric Warming 3)Strong convection over the western Pacific SSW = rapid temperature increase in the polar vortex over a few days in winter; they are preceded by an increase in wave activity from the troposphere; these waves break in the stratosphere and strengthen the mean meridional circulation…downwelling with warming at high latitudes, upwelling with cooling in the tropics. Tropical link: Gomez-Escolar et al., 2014, JGR, show that enhanced tropical cooling in the lower stratosphere occurs preferentially during the QBO easterly sheer phase. Several studies have also shown that a SSW may enhance tropical convection (Kodera, Eguchi, Yoshida and Yamasaki) Change in wave activity -> changes mean meridional circulation and cools tropical lower stratosphere (as well as warming the polar stratosphere)-> change in TTL static stability -> possible impact on convection

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Stephanie’s hypothesis: 2013 low water vapor values were a result of the combined effects of the SSW, changes in convection and the QBO Black line: MLS tropical average H 2 O at 82 mb Blue line: 2012/2013 winter Daily values plotted 2012/2013 starts out low (due to QBO) and has accelerated drying (due to SSW of Jan 6)

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Now a longitudinally resolved view: larger tropical temperature response in the western Pacific (panel c), greater increase in polar temperature from degrees longitude. Red, 10 mb polar, black CPT tropics

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Daily tropical OLR anomalies, blue=active convection, this strengthens at time of SSW, and at the longitude band of maximum polar warming.

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Before SSW: enhanced mid latitude wave activity This increases strength of the mean meridional circulation Cools UTLS Changes static stability Changes height convection can reach

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 OLR (purple) N 2 (black), km (UT), longitude region that has the with largest tropical temperature cooling.

ATTREX STM, October 20, 2014 Change in convection with the SSW Higher, colder cloud tops, leads to enhanced drying of air entering the stratosphere.
