"Influence of tropical convection on the Southern Hemisphere ozone maximum during the winter to spring transition"

Hitchman MH, Rogal MJ, Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres 115: D14118 Jul 2010. The UTLS over the southern Indian Ocean appears to be a sensitive region where tropical convection can influence extratropical planetary waves via excitation of subtropical anticyclones and propagation of Rossby wave activity through the connecting westerly waveguide.

"A mesoscale analysis of the effects of idealized ice nuclei during austral spring in South America"

Harkey MK, Hitchman MH, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ACTA 73 (13): A494-A494 Suppl S Jun 2009. Meeting Abstract.

"Southern tropical upper tropospheric zonal ozone wave-1 from SAGE II observations (1985-2002)"

Wang PH, Fishman J, Harvey VL, et al., Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres 111 (D8): Art. No. D08305 Apr 2006. The analysis suggests that both Hadley and Walker circulations can contribute to the formulation of the ozone wave-1 climatological structure.

"Resolution dependence of cross-tropopause ozone transport over east Asia"

Buker ML, Hitchman MH, Tripoli GJ, et al., Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres 110 (D3): Art. No. D03107 Feb 2005.
