Description

Full mission name: Stratospheric and upper tropospheric processes for better climate predictions

Description:

This campaign focusses on detailed observations of atmospheric transport and physical-chemical processes which dominate the input of air and aerosols into the (sub-)tropical stratosphere. The Asian monsoon anticyclonic circulation is the primary target of the mission. With its clear boundaries and outflow patterns along with strongly polluted inflow it provides an optimal atmospheric laboratory for the M55 Geophysica payload given the operational range and capabilities of the aircraft and the traceability of the tropospheric pollutant signals through the UT and TTL into the stratosphere. The aircraft campaign is divided in two parts: Four flights from Kalamata (Greece) in August/September 2016, and the main part in South Asia in 2017.
