The Campaign

The Transport and Atmospheric Chemistry near the Equator (TRACE) campaign studied the chemical composition and aerosols in a tropical atmosphere. TRACE had two deployments. The TRACE-Atlantic (TRACE-A) deployment occurred during September-October 1992 over the southern Atlantic. The TRACE-Pacific (TRACE-P) deployment took place from February to April 2001 over the Pacific. Airborne observations focused on aerosols and atmospheric parameters. Ozone measurements were also collected using ozonesondes carried by balloons. These measurements were supplemented by satellite data and model outputs. TRACE was part of the Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE).
