GEOS-5 Forecast Support for ATTREX (Airborne Tropical TRopopause EXperiment)
The Airborne Tropical TRopopause EXperiment (ATTREX) will perform a series of measurement campaigns using the long-range NASA Global Hawk (GH) unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to better understand the physical processes and chemical composition of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL).
Some specific science aims of ATTREX are the investigation of:
- The impact of stratospheric water vapor on Earth's energy budget and climate.
- Future changes in stratospheric humidity and ozone concentration as a response to climate change.
ATTREX is conducting a campaign over the Western Pacific Ocean in February—March, 2015.
The GMAO provides weather and environmental forecasts from the GEOS-5 system in support of the ATTREX campaigns.
