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
