@nasa : Our Airborne Campaigns Focus on Climate Impacts in the Arctic: This red plane is a DHC-3 Otter, the plane flown in our Operation IceBridge-Alaska surveys of mountain glaciers in Alaska. Over the past few decades, average global temperatures have been on the rise, and this warming is happening two to three times faster in the Arctic. As the region's summer comes to a close, We're hard at work studying how rising temperatures are affecting the Arctic. Our researchers this summer and fall are carrying out three Alaska-based airborne research campaigns aimed at measuring greenhouse gas concentrations near Earth's surface, monitoring Alaskan glaciers, and collecting data on Arctic sea ice and clouds. Observations from these campaigns will give researchers a better understanding of how the Arctic is responding to rising temperatures.
