An examination of the transition region between the troposphere and stratosphere using tracer space.

An examination of the transition region between the troposphere and stratosphere using tracer space.

Stratosphere Troposphere exchange (STE) is important to study as it controls the chemical composition of the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) and thus the radiative balance of this region. STE also controls the transport of chemicals into the stratosphere which are vital to ozone depletio...
