TLDR
A Beechcraft King Air and a Lockheed WP-3D (P-3) Orion aircraft were flown side by side on January 8, 1986 near Boston, Massachusetts, to compare the scientific measurements being made using the two platforms as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
A Beechcraft King Air and a Lockheed WP-3D (P-3) Orion aircraft were flown side by side on January 8, 1986 near Boston, Massachusetts, to compare the scientific measurements being made using the two platforms. The King Air was also flown in formation with a Beechcraft Queen Air and Douglas DC-3 on March 1, 1986 near Raleigh, North Carolina, for the same purpose. This paper summarizes the results of these comparison flights and discusses the scientific measurements made by the aircraft. The accuracies and response times of the aircraft instrumentation are estimated.read more

Watox-86 overview and western North Atlantic Ocean S and N atmospheric budgets
TL;DR: The Western Atlantic Ocean Experiment (WATOX-86) as discussed by the authors used two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aircraft, a twin engine King Air and a four engine WP-3D, to collect gases and aerosols off the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland.

Ecological effects of peatland drainage for forestry.
TL;DR: The role of forestry use of northern peatlands in the global climatic warming is synthesized and effects of the hydrological change brought about by drainage on the chemical and physical properties of the surface peat, microbial activity, tree stand and ground vegetation, biodiversity, and faunal change are reviewed.

Peter H. Daum,Lawrence I. Kleinman,Alan J. Hills,Allan L. Lazrus,Alistair C. D. Leslie,Ken M. Busness,J. F. Boatman +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, H2O2 and related species were measured by aircraft on 18 flights over 11 days during June 1987 over Ohio, with an altitude range from the surface to 5.5 km above mean sea level and were conducted under a variety of meteorological conditions.

Airborne sampling of selected trace chemicals above the central United States
Joe F. Boatman,D. L. Wellman,C. C. Van Valin,R. L. Gunter,John D. Ray,H. Sievering,Young Ho Kim,Stan W. Wilkison,M. Luria +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, field observations during a series of 24 atmospheric sampling flights in winter, spring, summer, and fall of 1987 provided a preliminary climatology of selected trace chemicals above the central United States.

Volume and surface area size distribution, water mass and model fitting of GCE/CASE/WATOX marine aerosols
TL;DR: In this article, the size distributions of marine aerosols were measured at two altitudes of about 2750 and 150 m above sea level (asl) over the size range 0.1 ∼ 32 μm.

Arctic haze and the Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP)
TL;DR: The Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP) was conducted across the Arctic in the spring of 1983 to study the large scale air pollution phenomenon known as Arctic haze.

Profile measurements of particle dry deposition velocity at an air-land interface
TL;DR: In this article, profile measurements of aerosol particles were made in conjunction with meteorological profiles at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory tower, and three such profile sequences were obtained within a 20-min period, then averaged and used to calculate a particle deposition velocity vd.

Sulfur dioxide over the western Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors made in-flight determinations of SO2 in clouds, the cloud-free boundary layer, and the free troposphere in a wintertime marine environment.

Determination of ambient aerosol and gaseous sulfur using a continuous FPD—III. Design and characterization of a monitor for airborne applications
TL;DR: A dual flame photometric detector for measurement of SO 2 and aerosol sulfur from aircraft platforms has been developed in this paper, where mass flow controllers are used to maintain a constant flow of sample air and hydrogen to the FPD burners as altitude varies.
