Loss of the aging ACE-FTS and MLS satellite instruments will create a “data desert” around stratospheric composition, suggests a paper by @rosssalawitch.bsky.social et al in #BulletinAMS. Observation gaps may hinder understanding of climate change.

Yay! Thank you.
I've made a starter pack of people who work on the stratosphere/middle atmosphere and/or often post about the stratosphere, including forecasts of the polar vortex.
Please do suggest anyone I've missed – quite hard to keep up with everyone on here now!
