Fig. S8.
Onset-relative composite time series of area-mean D of water vapor in the free troposphere (750 to 348 hPa) (A) and the ABL (surface–825 hPa) (B) based on TES satellite retrievals from ascending (13:30 local time) and descending (01:30 local time) satellite overpasses. Data in B are shown for ascending overpasses only because TES is not sufficiently sensitive to ABL D during descending overpasses (see also Materials and Methods and Fig. S9). The evolution of ABL D over the tropical Atlantic (0–10°N, 30–55°W) is also shown for reference. Uncertainty bounds include statistical and measurement uncertainties propagated from individual TES measurements.
