Impact of the 2002, Southern Hemisphere, stratospheric warming on the tropical cirrus clouds and convective activity

Tropical cirrus cloud variation associated with the southern hemisphere stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) in September 2002 was investigated using data from MODIS/Terra. During the SSW, enhanced wave forcings induced upwelling in the tropical stratosphere, which further extended into the equatorial...
