aircraft, the technical staff, and the flight planning teams
(in particular Michael Volk, Geraint Vaughan, Martin
Streibel, Beiping Luo, Paul Fortuin, Gebhard Gunther, Martin
Riese, Cees Bloom, Thierry Corti) for their dedication and
for turning the scientist's dreams into viable flight
missions. The remote support from the meteorological
forecasters Peter van Velthoven and Rinus Scheele at KNMI
was much appreciated. We would further like to thank the
logistic team (Stefano Balestri and Heinz Finkenzeller) for
organizing and accompanying a successful and memorable
campaign, the Darwin RAAF base and Charles Darwin University
for their hospitality and logistic support, and the
forecasters at the BoM regional forecast center for great
assistance. ECMWF (in particular Adrian Simmons) is
acknowledged for generating tailored products and for
providing access to forecast data used extensively during
the campaign. We are grateful to Matt Wheeler (BoM) for
providing an analysis of equatorial wave activity during the
campaign. This work has been supported by the European
Community grant through the project SCOUT-O3 under contract
COCE-CT-2004-505390.},
abstract = {An aircraft measurement campaign involving the Russian
high-altitude aircraft M55 Geophysica and the German DLR
Falcon was conducted in Darwin, Australia in November and
December 2005 as part of the European integrated project
SCOUT-O3. The overall objectives of the campaign were to
study the transport of trace gases through the tropical
tropopause layer (TTL), mechanisms of dehydration close to
the tropopause, and the role of deep convection in these
processes. In this paper a detailed roadmap of the campaign
is presented, including rationales for each flight, and an
analysis of the local and large-scale meteorological context
in which they were embedded. The campaign took place during
the pre-monsoon season which is characterized by a
pronounced diurnal evolution of deep convection including a
mesoscale system over the Tiwi Islands north of Darwin known
as "Hector". This allowed studying in detail the role of
deep convection in structuring the tropical tropopause
region, in situ sampling convective overshoots above storm
anvils, and probing the structure of anvils and cirrus
clouds by Lidar and a suite of in situ instruments onboard
the two aircraft. The large-scale flow during the first half
of the campaign was such that local flights, away from
convection, sampled air masses downstream of the "cold trap"
region over Indonesia. Abundant cirrus clouds enabled the
study of active dehydration, in particular during two TTL
survey flights. The campaign period also encompassed a
Rossby wave breaking event transporting stratospheric air to
the tropical middle troposphere and an equatorial Kelvin
wave modulating tropopause temperatures and hence the
conditions for dehydration.},
