Abstract

The general mission of the Halocarbons and other Atmospheric Trace Species research program is to quantify the distributions and magnitudes of sources and sinks for ozone depleting substances and greenhouse gases, such as halogen containing compounds and atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O). HATS utilizes numerous types of platforms, including ground-based stations, towers, ocean vessels, aircraft, and balloons to accomplish its mission.
