AB: MOZAIC was initiated in 1993 as a cooperation between european Scientific Institutions, Avionic Industry and five european Airlines in order to generate representative and high quality information on the chemical composition of the UTLS region. Starting with measurements of O3 and H2O in 1994, instruments for CO and NOy were added in 2001. After three phases of funding by the European Commission, MOZAIC has provided data from more than 150000 flight hours in the UTLS and 40000 vertical profiles in the Troposphere. The poster discusses the climatologies of O3, H2O, CO and NOy in the UT and LS and gives an overview of the vertical profiles available over many cities of the world. Important examples are the extreme CO concentrations observed in the UT over large areas in East Asia, the interannual variability of ozone and its correlation with NAO. The data also demonstrate the importance of large scale lofting of boundary layer pollution over the North American East Coast in spring and summer for the odd-nitrogen budget in the UT. The correlation between O3, CO and NOy in the LS gives insight into the exchange between stratosphere and troposphere. The poster presents the outline of a new design study IAGOS (Integration of routine Aircraft measurements into a Global Observing System) just accepted by the European Commission that will allow establish regular observations from in-service aircraft as a long-term component of a global observing system.
