An Investigation of the Distribution of Ozone-depleting Substances in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere
Stratospheric transport in global circulation models and chemistry-climate models is an important component in simulating the recovery of the ozone layer as well as changes in the climate system. The Brewer-Dobson Circulation is not well constrained by observations and further investigation is …

Tropical transport and the seasonal variability of the subtropical "edges" in the stratosphere
… ozone production and loss, is very sensitive to transport into and out of the tropical stratosphere. There is a great deal of evidence that tropical air remains relatively isolated from extratropical air over timescales that are long compared to typical midlatitude mixing timescales. However, …

Layer-layer interactions in atmospheric, cryospheric, and stellar dynamics
… width, motivating study of the width of the stratospheric tropics and potential metrics. In the second chapter, directly measured chemical tracers form a useful basis for stratospheric tropical width estimates and two new tracer-based metrics are developed. These metrics are applied to assess …
