The Campaign
The Stratospheric-Tropospheric Exchange Project (STEP) was a field investigation that examined the transfer of trace gases and aerosols from the troposphere to the stratosphere and observed the dryness of the stratosphere. STEP included four scientific and two intercalibration deployments from Moffett Field, California, and Darwin, Australia, during the winter and spring of 1984-1987. NASA's ER-2 aircraft collected measurements of trace gases and aerosols in the upper atmosphere. STEP was funded by NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Program and NOAA.
