The VOREDGE experiment

LMD



The VOREDGE experiment will concentrate on the dynamics of the stratospheric Antarctic polar vortex edge and on its role in the mixing of air masses of different origins.


In this experiment, a total number of 130 balloons will be launched: 90 from Marambio (56.4W, 64.1S) and 40 from Ushuaia (68.2W, 54.5S). The launches will begin during August in order to have most of the balloons drifting simultaneously in October and November.


This experiment could be undertaken a few years later than VORCORE.
