UK Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (UK SOLAS)
Project 9
Reactive halogens in the marine boundary layer (RHaMBLe)
Principal Investigator — Gordon McFiggans, School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences University of Manchester.
Objectives
- To quantify marine halogen cycling and investigate its spatial variability
- To determine the effects of marine halogen cycling on atmospheric oxidative chemistry
Activities
Fieldwork has provided open ocean and coastal measurements. Open ocean work included a research cruise (D319) upwind of Cape Verde, and supplementary observations at the SOLAS Cape Verde Observatory. Coastal observations were made during the summer of 2006 at Roscoff in Brittany. Measurements included
- Trace molecules and radicals
- Aerosol characteristics and distribution
