This paper summarizes a planned one year cycle of measurements which follow the behavior of selected trace gases in the stratosphere over the South Pole. A large volume of unique data on several species of trace gases including O[sub 3], N[sub 2]O, HNO[sub 3], NO[sub 2], ClO, and H[sub 2]O[sub 2] as well as other observations on characterizing dynamic and chemical effects occuring in the heart of the antarctic winter vortex. 4 refs.
