CARVE - Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment – Earth Ventures-1

Friday, July 17, 2015

CARVE flew 23 flight hours, collecting science data from the North Slope, Seward peninsula and Dillingham / King Salmon, Alaska.

On July 11, CARVE flew Over Dillingham / King Salmon and collected the following data (this was CARVE's first time collecting data over this area).

The above plots show reduced CO2 and enhanced CH4 signals.

The HYSPLIT 72-hour back trajectories model, suggest that the near surface air masses observed near Dillingham on July 11 had circulated in the area for 24 to 48 hours after coming in off the Gulf of Alaska.
