Featured Research



The Stratosphere-Troposphere Analyses of Regional Transport (START-08) campaign to study the transport characteristics of the ExUTLS region runs from 21 April to 28 June 2008. This study will incorporate data from instrumentation on board the NSF-NCAR G-V, satellite imaging, and model simulations.
