abstract = {Dehydration in the Antarctic winter stratosphere is a
well-known phenomenon that is occasionally observed by
balloon-borne and satellite measurements. However, in-situ
measurements of dehydration in the Antarctic vortex are very
rare. Here, we present detailed observations with the
in-situ and GLORIA remote sensing instrument payload aboard
the new German aircraft HALO. Strongly dehydrated air masses
down to 1.6 ppmv of water vapor were observed as far north
as 47° S and between 12 and 13 km in altitude, which has
never been observed by satellites. The dehydration can be
traced back to individual ice formation events, where ice
crystals sedimented out and water vapor was irreversibly
removed. Within these dehydrated stratospheric air masses,
filaments of moister air reaching down to the tropopause are
detected with the high resolution limb sounder, GLORIA.
Furthermore, dehydrated air masses are observed with GLORIA
in the Antarctic troposphere down to 7 km. With the help of
a backward trajectory analysis, a tropospheric origin of the
moist filaments in the vortex can be identified, while the
dry air masses in the troposphere have stratospheric
origins. The transport pathways of Antarctic
stratosphere/troposphere exchange are investigated and the
irrelevant role of the Antarctic thermal tropopause as a
transport barrier is confirmed. Further, it is shown that
the exchange process can be attributed to several successive
Rossby wave events in combination with an isentropic
interchange of air masses across the weak tropopause and
subsequent subsidence due to radiative cooling. Once
transported to the troposphere, air masses with
stratospheric origin are able to reach near-surface levels
within 1–2 months.},
