Short summary
The tropopause region of the atmosphere is greatly impacted by the exchange of mass and constituents between the troposphere and the stratosphere. This study quantifies the role of radiation in troposphere-to-stratosphere transport using reanalysis data. We find that radiation contributes to this transport most of the time, albeit it might not be the dominant process. We provide a new insight into the complex interplay of processes that air parcels experience on their way to the stratosphere.
