ARCTAS
In Spring and Summer 2008 NASA is conducting a campaign called Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS). The spring deployment targeted arctic haze, anthropogenic pollution in general, stratosphere-troposphere exchange, and sunrise photochemistry. The summer deployment is targeting boreal forest fires, stratosphere-troposphere exchange, and summertime photochemistry. ARCTAS is part of the international IPY/POLARCAT arctic field program for atmospheric composition.

INTEX-B / MILAGRO
In March 2006 several coordinated experiments studied gaseous and aerosol pollutants originating primarily in Mexico City. The March phase of INTEX-B (the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment) was closely coordinated with MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations). Our airborne sunphotometer, AATS-14, flew on the J31 aircraft based in Veracruz, Mexico, measuring aerosols and water vapor in outflow from Mexico City and biomass burning regions of Mexico and Central America.

INTEX - ITCT - ICARTT
In Summer 2004 several coordinated experiments studied air quality, intercontinental transport, and radiation balance in air masses carried across the US and over the Atlantic to Europe. NASA organized INTEX-NA. NOAA organized NEAQS - ITCT 2004.  And Europeans organized ITOP. ICARTT was formed to enhance the synergy between ITCT, INTEX, and ITOP.
