The Campaign
The Stratospheric Photochemistry, Aerosols, and Dynamics Expedition (SPADE) was a NASA campaign aimed at measuring key chemical reaction rates involved in ozone production and depletion. It was the first dedicated field mission to collect atmospheric data supporting the Atmospheric Effects of Stratospheric Aircraft (AESA) Program. SPADE included three deployments during the boreal spring and fall of 1992 and 1993 across the western United States. NASA’s ER-2 aircraft was equipped with various sensors to measure and analyze trace gases and other chemicals in the upper atmosphere. Balloon soundings were also launched from nearby stations to make similar observations. SPADE was funded by NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Program.
