trpaus()

subroutine trpaus	(	real, dimension(ista:iend,jsta:jend)	ptrop,
		real, dimension(ista:iend,jsta:jend)	ttrop,
		real, dimension(ista:iend,jsta:jend)	ztrop,

This routine computes tropopause data.

At each mass point a surface up search is made for the first occurrence of a three layer mean lapse rate less than or equal to a critical lapse rate. This critcal lapse rate is 2deg/km. This is in accord with the WMO definition of a tropopause. A maximum tropopause pressure of 500mb is enforced. Onc the tropopause is located in a column, pressure, temperature, u and v winds, and vertical wind shear are computed.

Parameters

[out]	PTROP	Tropopause pressure.
[out]	TTROP	Tropopause temperature.
[out]	ZTROP	Tropopause height.
[out]	UTROP	Tropopause u wind component.
[out]	VTROP	Tropopause v wind component.
[out]	SHTROP	Vertical wind shear at tropopause.
