A “tropical pipe” model of stratospheric transport
Abstract
A conceptual model of global stratospheric transport is described, based on the assumption of rapid isentropic mixing within midlatitude “surf zones” but weak mixing into the tropics. Thus the tropical region is isolated from middle latitudes, and trace species budgets there are balances between mean upwelling and local chemical sources and sinks. In middle latitudes, where long‐lived species are assumed to be in “slope equilibrium,” the budgets are more complex, being influenced by isentropic mixing, mean downwelling, entrainment from the tropics, and local chemistry. The one‐dimensional vertical flux‐gradient relation obtained in previous studies in which mixing was assumed to be global is lost in this model. Tracer correlations are compact separately in each region, with substantial differences between tropical and midlatitude relationships. The result discussed by Plumb and Ko linking the slope of the correlation diagram to net global fluxes (and thus to lifetimes) is valid in this model only at the midlatitude tropopause.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
