abstract = {The Polar Stratosphere in a Changing Climate (POLSTRACC)
mission employed the German High Altitude and Long Range
Research Aircraft (HALO). The payload comprised an
innovative combination of remote sensing and in situ
instruments. The in situ instruments provided
high-resolution observations of cirrus and polar
stratospheric clouds (PSCs), a large number of reactive and
long-lived trace gases, and temperature at the aircraft
level. Information above and underneath the aircraft level
was achieved by remote sensing instruments as well as
dropsondes. The mission took place from 8 December 2015 to
18 March 2016, covering the extremely cold late December to
early February period and the time around the major warming
in the beginning of March. In 18 scientific deployments, 156
flight hours were conducted, covering latitudes from 25° to
87°N and maximum altitudes of almost 15 km, and reaching
potential temperature levels of up to 410 K. Highlights of
results include 1) new aspects of transport and mixing in
the Arctic upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS), 2)
detailed analyses of special dynamical features such as
tropopause folds, 3) observations of extended PSCs reaching
sometimes down to HALO flight levels at 13–14 km, 4)
observations of particulate NOy and vertical redistribution
of gas-phase NOy in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), 5)
significant chlorine activation and deactivation in the LMS
along with halogen source gas observations, and 6) the
partitioning and budgets of reactive chlorine and bromine
along with a detailed study of the efficiency of ClOx/BrOx
ozone loss cycle. Finally, we quantify—based on our
results—the ozone loss in the 2015/16 winter and address
the question of how extraordinary this Arctic winter was.},
