GCMD Project Keyword Description Update Request

[ASDC - gmojica]

Hello, through preparation for WebU, the ASDC is requesting the following Project Keyword Description be updated in GCMD. The requested new description is as follows:

Project: STEP
New Description: The Stratospheric-Tropospheric Exchange Project (STEP) had two objectives: To investigate the mechanism and rates of irreversible transfer of mass, trace gases, and aerosols from troposphere and stratosphere and within the lower stratosphere; and to explain the observed extreme dryness of the stratosphere. The first objective was derived from the need for a better description of how natural and manmade chemicals move from their tropospheric sources to the stratospheric ozone shield. The second objective, though closely related to the first, deserved separate mention because it had been a fundamental mystery of atmospheric science for decades.

Also, I was wondering if you had the opportunity to view these recent requests as well. If not I understand, I'm sure they may have slipped through the cracks.
