Fig. 1: Clausius–Clapeyron scaling for vapour and frozen moisture at the cold-point tropopause.

From: Indirect stratospheric moisture increase after a Pinatubo-magnitude eruption can be comparable to direct increase after 2022 Hunga

The saturation specific humidity at the EFT (Tfrost) calculated via the Clausius–Clapeyron dependency (solid line) describes the mean specific humidity at the cold-point tropopause (\(\bar{q}\), dashed line). The additional frozen moisture can be calculated by considering a constant temperature offset to the EFT.
