Trace constituent mixing ratios in the lower stratosphere during the 1977 intertropical convergence zone experimentMinor constituents in the atmosphere can play an important role as tracers in studies of atmospheric transport and mixing. Simultaneous measurements of the vertical distribution of trace constituents in the troposphere and lower stratosphere were conducted in the region of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). An effort was made to measure the mixing ratios of selected trace constituents. A cryogenic sampling system on board a U-2 aircraft was used to acquire whole-air samples and to cryogenically collect samples at 13.7 to 21.3 km. Simultaneous tropospheric measurements using whole-air sampling canisters on board a Learjet aircraft were also carried out.
