To measure BVOC fluxes and atmospheric chemistry over an oak forest

DC3
May 1 - June 31, 2012
Salina, KS
The DC3 field project makes use of three instrumented aircraft platforms (NSF GV, NASA DC8, DLR Falcon) and ground based observations to characterize the impact of deep convective systems on the composition and chemistry of the mid latitude troposphere and lower stratosphere.

DISCOVER-AQ
June 2010 thru June 2016
Wallops Island, Virginia
Part of the NASA Venture-Class Science Investigation to provide data to critically examine the ability to determine surface air quality conditions from space.

DYNAMO
DYNAMICS of the MJO
October 1, 2011 to March 1, 2012
Gan, Maldives, Diego Garcia, R/V Revelle, Darwin Australia
To help advance the understanding of JMO initiation processes in the Indian Ocean

GLOBOENET - Global Biogenic Organic Emissions Network
June 2009 through December 2013
New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Spain, France, French Guiana, Brazil
To characterize long term variations in biogenic VOX fluxes

JNU - Juneau Field Project
Sept. 2002 - ongoing

Juneau, Alaska

Atmospheric turbulence and windshear data will be analyzed and used in the development of an operational wind hazard system to guide airport operations.

Maintenance & Observations of NDSC FTS
Ongoing - 2-3 visits yearly
Thule, Greenland
Maintain and make observations with the FTS instrument at Thule, Greenland 15-20 year program.  Remotely operated with 2-3 visits per year.

SEAC4RS – South East Asia Composition, Cloud, Climate Coupling Regional Study
August 8 - September 30, 2012
U-Tapao, Thailand
SEAC4RS will address key questions regarding the influence of Asian emissions on clouds, climate, and air quality as well as fundamental satellite observability of the system. Science observations will focus specifically on the role of the Asian monsoon circulation and convective redistribution in governing upper atmospheric composition and chemistry.

TORERO – Tropical Ocean Troposphere Exchange of Reactive Halogen Species and Oxygenated VOC
January 15 - February 26, 2012
Antofagasta, Chile and San Jose, Costa Rica
The scientific objective of the TORERO project is to study the release and transport of halogenated gases and oxidized VOCs in the Eastern Tropical Pacific during the season of the high biologic productivity. The project timeframe is coincident with a proposed complementary research vessel project in the same area.

UAE Field Project - UAE Rainfall and Air Chemistry Project
September 2000 - ongoing

Abu Dhabi, and various locations in The United Arab Emirates

Feasibility study for the potential for rainfall enhancement via cloud seeding
