Mediterranean Intensive Oxidants Study

MINOS


Project Description:
Airborne measurements using PTR-MS out of Crete in the Mediterranean to study the transport of pollutants from Eastern Europe in the lower troposphere, North America in the middle troposphere and Asia in the upper troposphere.
The project was performed while the group was with IMAU at the University of Utrecht.

Platform:
DLR Falcon

Period:
July and August, 2001
