SPADE  

Definition

  • The Stratospheric Photochemistry Aerosols and Dynamics Expedition (SPADE) is the first in a series of field experiments designed to support the NASA High-Speed Research Program (HSRP). This program is designed to assess the impact of emissions from supersonic aircraft operating in the lower stratosphere. SPADE is tasked with determining the key chemical processes that affect ozone levels in the stratosphere. A variety of chemical measurements are made from NASA's ER-2 high-altitude aircraft based at the NASA Ames Research Center. These measurements will be used to address the fundamental reactions between various chemicals in the stratosphere. Contact Information: Richard B.
