Scientific Aims
• Polar ozone loss
• Chemistry and dynamics of the UTLS, particularly in the tropics
leading to
• a better understanding of ozone and UV radiation over mid-latitudes
ozone - climate interactions; predictive ability
International Satellite Validation
VINTERSOL extends planned activities:
ENVISAT - commissioning validation
time, species measured
ILAS 2
SAGE III - SOLVE 2
and provides additional validation for
GOME, ODIN, POAM.
Main Phases
• Arctic studies in 2002/03 winter/spring
EUPLEX, QUOBI, CIPA/POSTA, MAPSCO RE, etc.
• Antarctic ozone loss in the June-November 2003
QUOBI, etc.
• Major tropical campaign in Jan-March 2004
HIBISCUS, TROCCINOX, etc.
On-going activities
satellites, ground-based, in service aircraft, modelling, assimilation
