SPARC-IPY Mission
The goal of the international IPY Activity entitled, The Structure and Evolution of the Polar Stratosphere and Mesosphere
and Links to the Troposphere during IPY, (IPY Activity No. 217) is to document the dynamics, chemistry and
microphysical processes within the polar vortices during IPY, with a focus on
the stratosphere-troposphere and stratosphere-mesosphere coupling. One of the
key outcomes will be a collection of analysis products from several operational
centres and several research centres, which will be archived at the SPARC Data
Center. The analysis products will cover the period of IPY (March 2007 to March
2009) and will represent the best available self-consistent approximations to
the state of the atmosphere during this period.
