Field Campaign Design & Support

We provide support for ground-based and airborne field experiments with satellite observations and chemical model simulations. During aircraft field campaigns, such as MIRAGE-Mex, INTEX-B and ARCTAS, we provided chemical forecasts used in flight planning from the assimilation of MOPITT CO and MODIS AOD in the global chemical transport models, MOZART-4 and CAM-Chem. During the analysis phase of these experiments, we use hindcast model simulations to assist in the interpretation of observations.
