    • ABoVE: Atmospheric Profiles of CO, CO2 and CH4 Concentrations from Arctic-CAP, 2017

    Metadata Updated: December 6, 2023

    This dataset provides in situ airborne measurements of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor concentrations, plus air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed values over Alaska and the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada during the Arctic Carbon Aircraft Profile (Arctic-CAP) monthly sampling campaigns from April-November 2017. Observations have been averaged to a 10-second interval and are reported with the number of samples (N) and standard deviation. During each of the six monthly campaigns, flights over the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) domain included 25 vertical profiles, from the surface up to 6 km altitude, at locations selected to complement regular long-term vertical profiles, remote sensing data, and ground-based flux tower measurements.

    Arctic-CAP flight lines (orange) sample Arctic and boreal regions of Alaska and the Yukon and the Northwest Territories of Canada. Monthly campaigns extended from April through November, capturing the carbon dynamics of the 2017 growing season. Pins mark the locations of the 25 vertical profiles acquired during each monthly campaign. Source: Scientific Aviation, 2019.
