Stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE) is understood as the flux of air or trace constituents across the tropopause, including both directions: the stratosphere to troposphere transport (STT) and troposphere to stratosphere transport (TST). STE is one of the key factors controlling the budgets of ozone, water vapour and other substances in both the troposphere and the lower stratosphere. (English)
