abstract = {Dehydration in the Antarctic winter stratosphere is a
well-known phenomenon that is annually observed by
satellites and occasionally observed by balloon-borne
measurements. However, in situ measurements of dehydrated
air masses in the Antarctic vortex are very rare. Here, we
present detailed observations with the in situ and GLORIA
remote sensing instrument payload aboard the German aircraft
HALO. Strongly dehydrated air masses down to 1.6 ppmv of
water vapor were observed as far north as 47° S in an
altitude between 12 and 13 km in the lowermost stratosphere.
The dehydration can be traced back to individual ice
formation events above the Antarctic Peninsula and Plateau,
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 lowermost stratosphere
down to 7 km. With the help of a backward trajectory
analysis, a midlatitude origin of the moist filaments in the
vortex can be identified, while the dry air masses down to 7
km have stratospheric origins. Antarctic
stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE) and transport of
dehydrated air masses into the troposphere are investigated.
Further, it is shown that the exchange process can be
attributed to several successive Rossby wave events in
combination with an isentropic exchange of air masses across
the thermal tropopause. The transport into the troposphere
is caused by air masses that are detached from the potential
vorticity (PV) structure by Rossby wave breaking events and
subsequently transported diabatically across the dynamical
tropopause. Once transported to the troposphere, air masses
with stratospheric origin can reach near-surface levels
within several days.},
