| Mahlman, J. D., D. G. Andrews, H. U. Dutsch, D. L. Hartmann, T. Matsuno, R. J. Murgatroyd, J. F. Noxon, 1981: Transport of trace constituents in the stratosphere. In Middle Atmosphere Program, Handbook for MAP, 3, 14-43. |
| Abstract: Our understanding of stratospheric trace constituent transport is reviewed,
beginning with the evolution of viewpoints on the subject over the past
half century. We then discuss the available observed characterisitics of
trace constituents and the challengess posed by them. To provide a framework for further developments, we present a simplified conceptual view of processes leading to irreversible transport. Next, methods of approach to such problems are outlined, including discussions of possibilities for physically based parameterized transport models. Finally, we pose a set of unanswered questions as possible guides to future research on the subject. |
