The Campaign
The Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) was a NASA-led project focused on studying stratospheric water vapor and its effect on Earth’s energy budget and climate. ATTREX included four deployments based in California in 2011 and 2013, and Guam in 2014 and 2015. NASA’s Global Hawk (GH) collected water vapor, cloud properties, and aerosols measurements in the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL). ATTREX was part of the Earth Venture Suborbital-1 (EVS-1) program.
