Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? – P. Gauguin, 1897

Main Points The parts of the TTL sampled along Global Hawk flight tracks during ATTREX-2 had young and relatively uniform air. Small variations in tracer mixing ratios show that there was some mixing in of extratropical or older air.

Summary Tracer measurements along Global Hawk flight tracks show young and relatively uniform air in the TTL during ATTREX-2. Small variations in tracer mixing ratios indicate mixing in of extratropical air and the influence of interhemispheric gradients. Near future: Add in other tracers and PV Back trajectories from points along flight track
