Extreme Outliers in Lower Stratospheric Water Vapor Over North America Observed by MLS: Relation to Overshooting Convection Diagnosed From Colocated Aqua‐MODIS Data

Convectively injected water vapor (H(2)O) in the North American (NA) summer lowermost stratosphere results in significant outliers in the 100‐hPa H(2)O measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). MLS statistics from 15 years confirm that the NA region contains over 60% of global 100‐hPa...
