Description
Summary:The Arctic Boundary Layer Expedition (ABLE 3A), conducted in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and Greenland during July and August 1988, was the first comprehensive investigation of the sources, sinks, and distribution of trace gas and aerosol chemical species in a northern high-latitude region during summer months. The experimental design emphasized the role of biosphere-atmosphere interactions in determining the chemical composition of the troposphere and in processes which influence the tropospheric O3 budget. This paper reports the overall experimental design of ABLE 3A and includes a brief overview of results.
