abstract = {In the Arctic winter 2003, in-situ measurements of the
long-lived trace gases N2O, CFC-11 (CCl3F), H-1211
(CBrClF2), CH4, O-3 and H2O have been performed on board the
high-altitude aircraft M55 Geophysica. The data are
presented and used to study transport into the lower-most
stratosphere (LMS). The LMS can be regarded as a mixture of
fractions of air originating in (i) the troposphere, (ii)
the extra-vortex stratosphere above 400 K and (iii) the
Arctic vortex above 400 K. These fractions are determined
using a simple mass balance calculation. The analysis
exhibits a strong tropospheric influence of $50\%$ +/-
$15\%$ or more in the lowest 20 K of the high-latitude LMS.
Above this region the LMS is dominated by air masses having
descended from above 400 K. Below the Arctic vortex region
at potential temperatures above 360 K, air in the LMS is a
mixture of extra-vortex stratospheric and vortex air masses.
The vortex fraction increases from about $40\%$ +/- $15\%$
at 360 K to $100\%$ at 400 K for equivalent latitudes >70
degrees N. This influence of air masses descending through
the bottom of the polar vortex increases over the course of
the winter. By the end of winter a significant fraction of
$30\%$ +/- $10\%$ vortex air in the LMS is found even at an
equivalent latitude of 40 degrees N. Since the chemical and
dynamical history of vortex air is distinct from that of
mid-latitude stratospheric air masses, this study implies
that the composition of the mid-to high-latitude LMS during
late winter and spring is significantly influenced by the
Arctic vortex.},
