ContentsIntroduction - observational data of UT moisture - water activity criterion
Approaches for explanation of large UT moisture - cubic ice hypothesis - organic coating around sulfuric acid aerosol - glassy organic (citric acid) aerosol - mixed-phase cirrus cloud particles
Observations of UT moisture
The warming is large at the upper troposphere in the tropics and the lower troposphere in the northern high latitude. http://www.mri-jma.go.jp/Dep/cl/cl4/yosoku/yosoku-en.htm
Water activity criterion
Maximum RHi of aqueous aerosol droplets which is allowed by a water activity criterion (WAC).
Equilibrium partial pressures of the components of ideal and non-ideal binary solution as a function of the mole fraction XA. When XA → 1, we have a dilute solution of B in A. In this region the Raoult’s law pA = XA p*A is applied for A. In the region where XA → 0, we have the Raoult’s law pB = XB p*B for B component.
