This conference took take place in cooperation with the DFG SFB TP-Change and SPARC
The upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) region is important for global climate. Transient processes and small scale scale dynamics at the tropopause affect the distribution and gradients of radiatively active species, aerosols and clouds which in turn may feed back on dynamics.
The focus of the meeting was on UTLS processes and their feedbacks involving experimental research as well as theory and modeling. We aim at bringing together the expertise on tropopause relevant topics from different fields of research to discuss their relevance for the global atmosphere.
