- Abstract:
- Several flights of both short and long-duration balloons from Bauru, Brazil (22 degrees S) will be made in February 2001 by CNRS/CNES as part of a pilot study for a more intensive campaign in 2002/3. Following long-standing involvement in both short and long duration ballooning projects as part of a number of EU funded programmes, the applicant has been invited to contribute several instruments (O3 and H2O) to this pilot project. The expectation would be for one long-duration flight (O3) with at least one complete circumnavigation of the globe, plus one, possibly two, short duration flights (O3 and H2O). The measurements would address issues of transport in the lower stratosphere in tropical regions, and in the longer term would be relevant to the stratospheric water vapour injection mechanism. The timing of the campaign (Austral summer) when tropopause temperatures are expected to be lowest, is particularly well suited for the proposed measurements.
