Abstract

The Arctic is a hostile and unforgiving place, with a harsh climate and extremes of light and temperature. As part of the NERC Arctic Research Program, the 'Methane and other greenhouse gases in the Arctic - Measurements, process studies and Modeling' (MAMM) campaign aims to address this issue, by improving the knowledge of the sources and atmospheric concentrations of Arctic methane and other greenhouse gases. As well as ground-level measurements of how much methane is emitted and absorbed over both the land and sea, a significant part of the campaign involves measuring atmospheric composition using the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement (FAAM) BAe-146 Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA). The first phase of MAMM consisted of surface measurements in the field and the deployment of the aircraft out of Kiruna airport, Sweden, in July 2012.
