Abstract

Statistics of the minimum saturation humidity mixing ratio are extracted from 2 500 radiosonde ascents in the tropics (10ยฐN to 10ยฐS) and in the region of the Asian summer monsoon. Two periods of approximately 20 days are examined, one in the northern winter and one in the northern summer. The relation of the observations to an hypothesis, proposed by A. W. Brewer in 1949, of mass exchange between troposphere and stratosphere is briefly discussed.

The understanding of the transport of trace chemical species between the stratosphere and the troposphere is necessary for global change prediction. Until recently it was believed that stratospheric inputs, through jet streaks and tropopause folding, should occur only at extratropical latitudes. A
