Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics The impact of tropical recirculation on polar composition
Abstract. We derive the tropical modal age of air from an analysis of the water vapor tape recorder. We combine the observationally derived modal age with mean age of air from CO2 and SF6 to create diagnostics for the independent eval-uation of the vertical transport rate and horizontal recircu-lati...
