The Campaign

The NASA Carbon Airborne Flux Experiment (CARAFE) was a NASA investigation that studied carbon flux and other anthropogenic emissions along the mid-Atlantic coast. CARAFE consisted of two deployments in September 2016 and May 2017 across the eastern United States. NASA’s C-23 Sherpa was equipped with multiple sensors such as the Diode Laser Hygrometer (DLH) and the Los Gatos Research Greenhouse Gas Analyzer to collect atmospheric chemistry and meteorological measurements. CARAFE was funded by NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System Program, Goddard Space Flight Center’s Internal Research and Development Program, and NASA HQ’s Earth Science Division.
