ACSIS - ACSIS - ACSIS The North Atlantic Climate System: Integrated observationS
From Thursday 19th October 2017 to Monday 23rd October 2017
Description
Project theme: ACSIS will utilise and develop a range of data sets to develop our atmospheric data products and use these to build up a comprehensive view of structure and variability of atmospheric composition across the North Atlantic.
Scientific contact (PI) : Alex Archibald
Project confirmed
Not Transnational Access project
Not open to training
Open to sharing
Planning and location
From Thursday 19th October 2017 (week 42)
to Monday 23rd October 2017 (week 43)
Aircraft: BAe146 - FAAM
Location: Lajes, Azores
Description of the experiment
Scientific objectives / Proposed work / Anticipated output Composition data sets will include (i) ozone and its precursors, which provide information of changes in tropospheric oxidizing capacity, (ii) methane, a key greenhouse gas whose budget is poorly understood, and (iii) properties of atmospheric aerosol, a potentially important short-term climate forcer.
