During the January 2000 deployment of the SAGE III Ozone Loss Validation Experiment (SOLVE), the NASA ER-2 aircraft intercepted air parcels with unusual water mixing ratios within the the Arctic polar vortex.

In the boreal forest region and for coniferous forest species, the summer frost free period bounds the growing season length (Walter et Breckle 1993). For both coniferous and deciduous trees, their grown potential is further limited by their mineral and water uptake.
High altitude balloon flights of a combined payload of the Submillimeterwave Limb Sounder and the whole air sampler instruments were performed on 27 January 1995 and 08 March 1995. Both flights were launched from sweden as part of the Second European Stratospheric Arctic and Mid-latitude Experiment (SESAME). Results of the first flight suggest that most of the available chlorine had been converted to CLOx in the observed air parcel, while warmer air in the second flight had much more HCl than CLOx.
Instruments on board the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite have been measuring stratospheric temperatures, winds, and constituent species since September 1991. Among the correlative data that aid in interpreting this data are two sets of global meteorological analyses. Meteorological data from the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO), and the US National Meteorological Center (NMC) are discussed.
Microwave Limb Sounder observations of mid-stratospheric ozone during stratospheric warmings show tongues of high ozone drawn up from low latitudes into the developing anticyclone.
Concentrations of HC1 measured in the 1991/3 northern hemisphere lower stratosphere from the ER-2 aircraft are significantly lower than model predictions using both gas phase and heterogeneous chemistry, but are in much better agreement with model predictions for the 1994 southern hemisphere.

The tidal signature in the middle atmospheric thermal structure is investigated using more than 140 hours of nighttime lidar measurements at Table Mountain (34.4 degrees north) during January 1997 and February 1998.
