Pole-to-Pole Flights Yield New Climate Data

A three-year, government-funded effort to track the movement of greenhouse gases throughout the atmosphere has yielded surprising results that could help improve the accuracy of climate models. Researchers used a specially equipped plane for a series of pole-to-pole flights to measure the concentrations of greenhouse gases and black carbon particles at different altitudes, different locations and different times of the year
