Science Goals for MANTRA 2004
-
To
fly a comprehensive suite of instruments in order to measure the
vertical profiles of the key stratospheric species that control the
mid-latitude ozone budget, particularly species in the NOy,
Cly, Bry,
and HOx chemical families, along with dynamical tracers and
aerosols.
-
To
combine these measurements with those obtained from similar northern
mid-latitude campaigns of the past 20 years, in order to quantify
changes in the chemical balance of the stratosphere.
-
To
compare multiple measurements of the same trace species made by
different instruments, in order to resolve previously observed
discrepancies and to assess the instruments performance.
-
To
use the 2004 measurements for validation and ground-truthing
of the SCISAT-1 mission.
