The STRATEOLE experiment was proposed
to study the dynamics of the stratospheric Antarctic polar vortex, the
transport of minor constituents and its interaction with ozone chemistry
in late winter and spring.
The main element of the STRATEOLE observing
system is a set of small superpressure balloons (few hundred cubic
meters) drifting for long duration flights (months) at two different
constant density levels (about 50 and 70 hPa). Balloons are equipped
with lightweight (10-20 kg) instrumented gondolas.
The STRATEOLE experiment is divided into two phases : VORCORE
and VOREDGE
