Early this week CARVE finished off the May campaign with a flight over Koyukuk and Innoko areas in Alaska. During this flight, CO2 and CH4, were significantly suppressed compared to CARVE flights on May 8 and May 10 over the same areas.

At the end of this flight, CARVE successfully completed the May campaign. CARVE flew nine flights over twelve calendar days for a total of approximately fifty-five science flight hours, covering approximately 8500 miles!

Taking advantage of good weather across Alaska, the CARVE team accumulated ~38 science flight hours the week of May 6. A summary of the flights is below:

• Monday 5/6 – Fort Yukon – Minto Flats – Tanana Flats
• Tuesday 5/7 – Deadhorse – Eastern North Slope
