Ascension Island. Climate scientists from three British universities and from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry met by chance on Ascension Island. The team from the Universities of Birmingham and Bristol was on Ascension to plan several unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) campaigns to measure methane over the island. The colleagues from Royal Holloway University, London, replaced a broken carbon dioxide/methane instrument at the airfield. And our MPI-BGC team maintained the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) instrument.
