Objective(s): To take part in the establishment of long-term observation network to measure concentrations of two important greenhouse gases (ozone and carbon dioxide) as well as bromine oxide, a key chemical reagent determining the presence of ozone accompanied with full set of meteorological data and detailed geographic information across the Arctic Ocean and Hudson Bay.
Project Description: The goal of this project is to take part in the establishment of long-term observation network to measure concentrations of two important greenhouse gases (ozone and carbon dioxide) as well as bromine oxide, a key chemical reagent determining the presence of ozone accompanied with full set of meteorological data and detailed geographic information across the Arctic Ocean and Hudson Bay. Data acquired will provide the opportunity to improve the understanding of processes and mechanisms defining the Sub Arctic and Arctic environment. They will be used to support prediction of future earth-atmosphere behaviour in the context of global and regional air quality and climate change. There are two main types of data collection: 1. In situ analyzer’s collect ambient air through sampling tubes and measure the concentration of ozone and carbon dioxide in real time. Instruments used are 2B Technology ozone monitor and Licor Ca...
