The science team first traveled from Palmdale, California, to Anchorage, Alaksa, by way of the North Pole, and on their second leg flew south to Kona, Hawaii.
The ATom mission aboard NASA’s DC-8 aircraft and flying laboratory is sampling world-wide in one of the most extensive surveys of the atmosphere to date, measuring more than 200 gases as well as airborne particles. The science team is particularly interested in methane, tropospheric ozone and black carbon particles, which have strong effects on climate and which all have both human and natural origins. Principal Investigator Steven Wofsy of Harvard University and atmospheric scientist Paul Newman of Goddard sent back a video postcard of the first two legs of the ATom mission.
