| Dr. Detlev Helmig, Ph.D. Chemistry, of Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Colorado will be leading a team to the Summit of Greenland, a two mile thick sheet of ice. Once there Vertical Profiling through the Atmospheric Boundary Layer will be conducted. The SkyDoc will be allowed to ascend an additional 5,000 feet. |
| The vertical ozone profile data will be used to calculate the boundary layer ozone budget and diurnal trends of the deposition rate between the surface and boundary layer. These data will be an important supplement to the previous and the currently planned snowpack and ground level observations. Our proposed measurements will elucidate the impact of this surface chemistry on the atmospheric ozone budget. Overall, this experiment is an important contribution towards further improving our understanding of the budgets of atmospheric oxidants in the polar and global atmosphere. |
