Description
Summary:The Sun rises over Antarctica during HIPPO with the wing of the research aircraft Gulfstream V in the foreground. HIPPO is a three-year field project that undertakes the most extensive airborne sampling of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to date, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Study results will help scientists understand in greater detail the behavior of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and eventually lead to improved predictions about climate change.
