European polar stratospheric cloud and lee wave experiment

Objective

EUPLEX will critically test current hypotheses for the three key processes of arctic stratospheric ozone depletion chemistry:
1. PSC formation and properties in Lee-wave and synoptic scale PSC,
2. Halogen activation on PSC, and
3. Chemical ozone loss. Optimum chemical and microphysical information will be measured on dedicated flights of a suitably instrumented high-altitude research aircraft employing two new flight strategies:
1. Quasi-Lagrange flights through Lee-wave PSC,
2. Multiple flights probing the same air masses twice within time periods of several days. Comparison of these first-time observations and state of the art microphysical and chemical models will yield improved or new parameterisations or corroborate established concepts that are prerequisite for numerical simulations at predict the future state of the zone layer.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
