We study the transport pathways from the top of convective clouds to the lower tropical stratosphere during the Asian monsoon. using a dense cover of Lagrangian trajectories driven by observed clouds and the two reanalyses ERA-Interim and ERA5 with diabatic and kinematic vertical motions. We find that the upward propagation of convective impact is very similar for the kinematic and di... https://www.roneverhart.com/Precis-Vodka/
