Abstract
Halogen Occultation Experiment measurements of H2O are used to investigate the influence of mid-latitude convection on the summertime overworld between 30° N and 40° N. We find that most of the convective influence over this latitude range occurs over the Asian monsoon and over North America. Over North America, the effects of convection extend to ~410 K (17.5 km). Over Asia, the effects of convection extend to ~460 K (19 km), about 50 K (1.5 km) higher than over North America.Keywords
