abstract = {Airborne high resolution in situ measurements of a large
set of trace gases including ozone (O-3) and total water
(H2O) in the upper troposphere and the lowermost
stratosphere (UT/LMS) have been performed above Europe
within the SPURT project. SPURT provides an extensive data
coverage of the UT/LMS in each season within the time period
between November 2001 and July 2003.In the LMS a distinct
spring maximum and autumn minimum is observed in O-3,
whereas its annual cycle in the UT is shifted by 2-3 months
later towards the end of the year. The more variable H2O
measurements reveal a maximum during summer and a minimum
during autumn/winter with no phase shift between the two
atmospheric compartments.For a comprehensive insight into
trace gas composition and variability in the UT/LMS several
statistical methods are applied using chemical, thermal and
dynamical vertical coordinates. In particular, 2-dimensional
probability distribution functions serve as a tool to
transform localised aircraft data to a more comprehensive
view of the probed atmospheric region. It appears that both
trace gases, O-3 and H2O, reveal the most compact
arrangement and are best correlated in the view of potential
vorticity (PV) and distance to the local tropopause,
indicating an advanced mixing state on these surfaces. Thus,
strong gradients of PV seem to act as a transport barrier
both in the vertical and the horizontal direction. The
alignment of trace gas isopleths reflects the existence of a
year-round extra-tropical tropopause transition layer. The
SPURT measurements reveal that this layer is mainly affected
by stratospheric air during winter/spring and by
tropospheric air during autumn/summer.Normalised mixing
entropy values for O-3 and H2O in the LMS appear to be
maximal during spring and summer, respectively, indicating
highest variability of these trace gases during the
respective seasons.},
