The Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange And climate Monitor (STEAM) has as main objectives to: - investigate the climate impact of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS) atmospheric region - continue monitoring the ozone layer evolution in the stratosphere. Instruments used for these purposes are a microwave radiometer for key molecules like water vapour and ozone, with broadband receivers for the UT/LS, and an optical instrument for additional molecules, aerosols and clouds. Both instruments have high along-track resolution relying on tomographic methods. The mission will be implemented in a compact, advanced spacecraft-instrument combination, for a low cost, and in international collaboration. STEAM can be launched in 2009. The conceptual platform for STEAM can be adapted to a joint mission with the SWIFT instrument, presently being discussed, while keeping all its important characteristics.
