Studying our Atmosphere at 500 kph: The AJAX Project at NASA Ames - Laur...
Μετάδοση με ζωντανή ροή στις 25 Φεβ 2014
The Alpha Jet Atmospheric Experiment
(AJAX) project at NASA Ames Research Center measures in-situ carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and ozone (O3) concentrations in our
atmosphere several times each month. Our project goals are to study
local photochemical smog production, provide data for long-term studies
of trans-Pacific transport of pollution, and support the observation of
greenhouse gases from satellites.
The project uses a jet aircraft
stationed at Moffett Field and outfitted with scientific instruments to
measure trace gas concentrations and 3-D wind speeds. Vertical profiles
from near the surface up to ~ 27,000 ft are routinely collected over
locations such as: Merced, Edwards Air Force Base, Railroad Valley, NV,
and over the Pacific Ocean. In addition, boundary layer measurements
scout for surface sources such as fires, oil & gas infrastructure,
livestock, and urban pollution.
