The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) of the deep convection is the most dominant and coherent component of the intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere. This ISO is related to the onset and to the intensity of the Asian and the Australian monsoons and is suspected to influence also timing and strength of El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, the origin of ISO is still an open question, in particular for the role of air-sea interactions in the development and the characteristics of the ISO convective and dynamical perturbations. The experiment VASCO (Variability of the Atmosphere at the intra-Seasonal time scale and Coupling with the Ocean) aims to document the perturbation of the atmospheric dynamics, the surface fluxes and the ocean mixed layer due to the passage of an ISO. The experiment design is based on quasi-Lagrangian pressurised balloons and on Aeroclippers (balloons measuring both the atmospheric and oceanic surface parameters) for the atmospheric part and on moored buoys and ARGO floats to document the perturbation of the ocean mixed layer. The quasi-Lagrangian pressurised balloons and the Aeroclippers are developed in cooperation between CNES, LMD and LODYC.
