Summary: | Islands and icebergs are visible from the cockpit of the C 130 research aircraft (owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by NCAR) over Baffin Bay, enroute to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, from Thule, Greenland, during flight 12 of the Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox (TOPSE) experiment (March 2000). 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.
