A new method is described here for calculating the heights of convectively driven OTs using the characteristic temperature lapse rate of the cloud top as it ascends into the UTLS region. Using 108 MODIS-identified OT events that are directly observed by the CloudSat Cloud Profiling ...
Figure S1a–d show that the north-west Mongolia high-pressure system was over our experiment site at 02:00 BT and 05:00 BT (Beijing time) 5–6 August, indicating that downward air motion suppressed air mass from the ground to the troposphere (Figure S1). 2.2.1. Portable Doppler Wind ...
