Final Project of KORUS-AQ — SARP

So, prior to finishing up KORUS-AQ and getting a break before my next campaign (that will start at the end of July and I will be blogging about that as well), the scientist of KORUS-AQ had one more project to do — SARP.

06/15/2016: KORUS-AQ — And that’s a wrap

Yesterday marks the end of KORUS-AQ. The NASA DC-8, and the scientists that flew on the DC-8, left South Korea at 3:00 PM (South Korean local time) and arrived back to Palmdale, CA at 2:30 PM (Californian local time).

KORUS-AQ: What am I studying and why it’s important

There are a lot of goals that many scientist have during this mission, including numerous aspects of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. The thing I am interested in for the mission are particles or aerosols.

KORUS-AQ Week 3: What is a typical week like for (NASA DC-8) airborne science?

To all my adoring fans, sorry that it has been more than week since I have posted. I just completed 7 flights in a span of 10ish days (so kind of busy).

Week 1 in South Korea for KORUS-AQ (2016–04–30)

The DC-8 left the United States on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 and arrived to Osan Air Force Base on Wednesday, April 27, 2016. This may sound like a normal flight time, if you have ever traveled from the United States to some where in Eastern Asia…

What is KORUS-AQ

The AQ part of the science mission stands for air quality. If you have ever had a smog test for your vehicle or experienced a spare the air day, you have first hand experience of air quality and what impacts it.

KORUS-AQ Week 04/15/2016 (Star Date 93890.35)

Hello everyone!

My name is Benjamin Nault, and I am a postdoctoral researcher at University of Colorado, Boulder. My research focuses on the chemistry of aerosols (which I will go into more detail in a later blog or…
