Analysis of meteorological conditions and haze distribution for the second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP II), March-April 1986. Technical memo
The second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP II) was conducted across the non-Soviet Arctic in March and April 1986, to study the aerosol, chemical, and optical properties of Arctic haze. One component of the program was conducted with a specially instrumented NOAA WP-3D aircraft. Measurements of wind, pressure, temperature, ozone, water vapor, condensation-nuclei concentration, and aerosol-scattering extinction were used to determine the locations of significant haze layers. The first three NOAA WP-3D research flights were conducted north of Pt. Barrow, Alaska, and over the Beaufort Sea northeast of Barter Island, Alaska. The following three sampled conditions in the high Arctic near Alert, Northwest Territories, Canada.
