Characteristics of Double Tropopause Layers Observed During TORERO

TORERO Field Campaign The Tropical Ocean tRoposphere Exchange of Reactive Halogen and Oxygenated VOC (TORERO) experiment was designed to study the release, transport, and fate of reactive halogen gases and oxidized volatile organic compounds. Specifically, their effect on the atmospheric oxidation capacity in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean during the season of high biological ocean productivity was observed from airborne and ship platforms. The NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V (GV) aircraft collected remote and in situ data during flights based in Antofagasta, Chile and San Jose, Costa Rica (TORERO, 2012).
