摘要

Both in situ measurements and satellite observationsindicate evidence of mixing in the upper troposphere (UT) and thelower-stratosphere (LS). In this study, the measurements performedduring the Pre-AVE and Costa-Rica AVE campaigns are analysed withdiffusive back-trajectories to assess mixing properties in thetropical and the subtropical UT/LS. A description ofcross-tropopause pathways and mixing time scales is provided.In the subtropics, Troposphere-Stratosphere mixing processes arefound to differ in the vicinity of the tropopause and at higheraltitudes. Below 350 K, a mixing line observed during Pre-AVE isshown to result from fast and local cross-tropopause irreversibleexchange, involving two initially distant air masses with distinctchemical compositions. For measurements located above 350 K, mixingof the tropospheric air in the subtropical stratosphere occurs overa period of a month, the origins of the tropospheric source beinglocalised in the tropical UT and the tropical boundary layer.In the tropics, quantitative reconstructions of CO andO3 profiles above 360 K are obtained for one monthback-trajectories calculations, pointing out that long term mixingis essential to determine the chemical composition in the tropicalascent. In particular, the existence of two-way meridionalirreversible exchanges between 360 and 450 K is found to exporttropical air in the subtropical stratosphere and to entrain oldstratospheric air in the tropical ascent. Mean age of aircalculated with a Lagrangian model is shown to be in agreement withthe CO2 observations.
