Description
Summary:A C-130 aircraft, owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, flew across the Canadian Arctic during the Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox (TOPSE) experiment. The goal of TOPSE was to investigate the chemical and dynamic evolution of tropospheric chemical composition over mid- to high-latitude continental North America during the winter/spring transition, with particular emphasis on the springtime ozone maximum in the troposphere.
