| Zusammenfassung |
| The upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) represents an important part
of the climate system. Even small changes in the composition and dynamic
structure of this region have significant radiative effects. Quantifying the
underlying physical and chemical processes therefore represents a crucial
task. Currently, there is a lack of UTLS observations with sufficient
three-dimensional resolution. The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance
Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) aircraft instrument addresses this
observational lack by providing observations of numerous trace constituents
as well as temperature and cloud structures with an unprecedented combination
of vertical resolution (up to 300 m) and horizontal resolution (about
30 km × 30 km). As a result, important scientific
questions concerning stratosphere–troposphere exchange, the occurrence of
subvisible cirrus clouds in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), polar
chemistry, and gravity wave processes can be addressed, as reviewed in this paper. |
