GOTHAAM is a collaborative research effort with the following folks: John Mak (lead PI), Daniel Knopf, Christine Gilbert, and Paul Shepson, Stony Brook University; AnnMarie Carlton, UC Irvine; Delphine Farmer, Colorado State; Lyatt Jaegle and Joel Thornton, University of Washington; Roy (Lee) Mauldin, University of Colorado; Kerri Pratt, University of Michigan.; Glenn Wolfe, NASA. GOTHAAM will investigate the atmospheric chemistry in the skies above greater New York City in July-August 2023 using NSF’s C-130 Research Aircraft, operated by EOL, NCAR. New York City is the nation’s most populous and densely populated region, and the industrial and commercial infrastructure reflects that. Surrounding NYC are very large swaths of forested areas to the North, West, and East, and the Atlantic Ocean to the South and East. Both daytime and night-into-day chemical processes will be studied, as well as the respective roles of halogen, biogenic, and anthropogenic contributions to both gas and heterogeneous phase chemistries.This project will coincide with NOAA’s AEROMMA mission as well as NASA STAQS. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
