Atmosphere Research over Southern Africa & Indian Ocean (ARSAIO)

STRATOSPHERE RESEARCH THEMES

Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' Max Planck

S2: Water vapour cycle study in the Upper Troposphere-Lower Stratosphere
S3: Stratospheric ozone variability, transport and mixing processes in the southern tropics: a French-South African observation and research network
