40 Conclusions TIL: ubiquitous layer of enhanced static stability just above the tropopause CMAM reproduces TIL: large scale cause? H O (and O ) radiative effects might cause 2 3 TIL (mainly in summer?) Vertical structure of residual circulation might cause TIL (mainly in winter?), for controversy see Poster P91 (Son et al.) Smaller scale dynamics (e.g. gravity waves)?
