Description:
The first experiment of the Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange Project to identify modes of transport during large-scale cyclogenesis is reviewed. The U-2 aircraft instrument payload is described and the flight paths are shown in relation to their meteorological situations. The procedures used to predict large-scale cyclogenesis and associated tropopause folding and to direct the aircraft are reviewed.
