- Abstract:
- This proposal seeks to extend an existing one using commercial aircraft to collect regular data on the composition of the UTLS region for a large range of gaseous species that can be measured using mass spectrometric techniques. It is integrated into the large German experiment CARIBIC which also produces much more data on both gases and aerosols. The proposal has several objectives concerned primarily with determining the composition of the UTLS region. The work will be aimed at quantifying individual contributions made by various sources in the troposphere and the extent of input of stratospheric air. The proposal will make a contribution to the impact that aircraft have on the UTLS region, and on the role of various chemical species on climate.
