CarboEurope Regional Experiment 2005
Results from MetAir Dimona flights
MetAir Dimona flights during the CarboEurope Regional ExperimentCross-section plots:Curtain plots of altitude vs. cumulative distance traveled by the aircraft, colored by different species. Contours and coloring for the different species result from interpolation of values along the flight track with inverse distance weighting (with anisotropy in scaling to account for different scales in vertical and horizontal direction).
IOP2, transit flight Bremgarten (Germany) - Saucats, 24th May 2005 
Curtain plot of CO2, potential temperature, and specific humidity, also shown is a map of the flight track labelled with cumulative distance. Problems occurred with the navigation system, therefore preliminary data have no longitude information for the second half of the flight. 
Curtain plot of CO, NOx, aerosols (3 nm channel), and Ozon. Problems occurred with the navigation system, therefore preliminary data have no longitude information for the second half of the flight. IOP2, flight 25th May 2005: exploratory flight, testing flight planning, flexibility, and comunication with ATC and military (worked perfect).
