ATom-4 Flights
RF02 - 27 April 2018
ATom-4 RF02 27 April 2018 Palmdale, CA to Anchorage, AK
Our flight to Anchorage was our first flight from home base on the final leg of ATom4. We sampled everything from fires to pollution to stratospheric air so in that sense it was one of the most varied flights we’ve done on ATom.
We flew profiles up the Pacific from California and high across Alaska before profiling at Deadhorse and Utqiavik (Barrow) before landing in Anchorage.
