The goal of the symposium is to present and discuss new scientific research in the area of atmospheric composition, processes and trends based on over 20 years of repetitive commercial aircraft observations by IAGOS-CARIBIC and IAGOS-CORE and with a view to highlight their new findings and to promote use of this scientific capability across the climate community. Trends in climate change, air quality, the impacts of aerosol and clouds, stratospheric ozone depletion and the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere are scientific problems that require detailed long-term observations of chemical composition throughout the atmosphere on a global scale. By providing long-term routine observations in the upper troposphere, lower stratosphere (UTLS) and vertical profiles over the world’s major cities for more than two decades, IAGOS has provided an important tool to investigate and monitor atmospheric composition trends and processes whilst extending the scope and application of surface and satellite observations.
