Description

Full mission name: Arctic Springtime Chemistry Climate Investigations

Description:

The Arctic is the region that experiences the largest and most rapid climate change on earth. In addition to the increase in long-lived greenhouse gases, short lived climate pollutants such as ozone and aerosols play an important role in Arctic warming, but many uncertainties about processes and impacts remain with large differences between models and observations of Arctic tropospheric chemistry and composition. ASCCI focuses on the following aspects: (1) Inter-annual variability of Arctic lower stratospheric ozone depletion and the implications for radiative forcing and surface climate impacts of ozone recovery; (2) High latitude stratosphere-troposphere exchange and the structure of the high latitude tropopause; (3) Short-lived climate pollutants (ozone, aerosols) and their precursors in the Arctic mid and upper troposphere.
