Mission: Airborne Tropical TRopopause EXperiment (ATTREX)
Max Spolaor, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California at Los Angeles, adjusted the Mini-Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer (Mini-DOAS), one of 11 specialized atmospheric sampling instruments installed on NASA’s Global Hawk for the ATTREX mission. The multi-year ATTREX airborne science campaign probed unexplored regions of the upper atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean for answers to how changes in a warming climate are changing Earth.December 17, 2012
