HALO in Australia for CAFE-Pacific mission

HALO updates |

HALO is based in Cairns, Australia for the CAFE-Pacific campaign. The main objective of the CAFE missions is to investigate tropical tropospheric oxidant  photochemistry in combination with aerosol particle formation and growth under clean, pristine conditions over land, and contrast the results with those in marine and polluted conditions. The measurements constrain computer models that represent chemical […]
