GNSS radio occultation in-filling of the African radiosonde data gaps reveals drivers of tropopause climate variability

GNSS radio occultation in-filling of the African radiosonde data gaps reveals drivers of tropopause climate variability

Radiosonde data are important for understanding and monitoring the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) region. Over much of Africa, however, such data are lacking; consequently, the African UTLS is understudied, and potential proxies such as climate models and reanalysis products fail to...
