Short Term Scientific Missions
Aim:to contribute to the realization of the Action’s scientific objectives.
How: by allowing scientist to go to a laboratory in another COST country to learn a
new technique or to make measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own laboratory.
Means: Average contribution for a mission will not normally exceed EURO 2,000

Starting point:
Altitude region around the tropopause is crucial for earths energy balance (water vapor cooling below, ozone heating above).Chemical, microphysical, and dynamical processes not well understood.
This was realized by the MC of Action 712 in 2000. Recommendation to create an Action „UTLS“

WG1: Measurement Techniques and Campaigns
Gather data and make it available to the Action.
Critically assess the weak links in our measurement capabilities, help to identify new techniques and platforms to strengthen them.
Improve the use of satellite data by the EO community, help to assess new sensors.
Evaluate measurement campaigns and help plan and promote new campaigns.
Examples: Improved radiosonde calibration techniques, RT modeling efforts for improved satellite data usage.

ACP Special Issue?
ACP‘s innovative review mechanism means that papers will be reviewed and accepted as they come. Quick authors will not have to wait for slow authors.
Who is interested in putting in a paper?
We will go for the special issue if there is enough interest
