The Campaign
The Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) campaign aimed to understand better how deep convection and large-scale dynamics from intense thunderstorms with overshooting tops influence the composition and chemistry of the lower stratosphere over the central United States. DCOTSS included one testing period and two deployments during the boreal summer of 2021-2022. The NASA ER-2 was equipped with various chemical and meteorological instruments to collect profile measurements in the outflow regions of thunderstorms with overshooting tops. Additionally, balloon and radar data from the NEXRAD network were gathered to supplement airborne observations. DCOTSS was one of the Earth Venture Suborbital-3 (EVS) campaigns.
