Stratospheric Humidity and Its Role in Earth Climate Change

Abstract:
Most global climate models (GCMs) project a strong stratospheric moistening during global warming. It is important to understand the mechanisms leading to the stratospheric humidity change and how significantly the humidity change influences the surface warming. In this talk, I will present our recent works to address these questions, including high-resolution modelling of the convective injection process and a GCM-based mechanism denial experiment to verify the warming effect of stratospheric moistening.
