Airborne Carbon in the Mountains Experiment (ACME) 2007

ACME aims to understand carbon exchange and transport of atmospheric tracers in the central Rocky Mountains. Airborne field campaigns were held in 2004 and 2007. The project was conducted at NCAR and supported by the NSF. The Desai lab was involved in the 2007 field campaign and data analysis for both.
