The Pacific Atmospheric Sulfur Experiment is a comprehensive study of
the chemistry of sulfur in the remote marine troposphere. A major part
of PASE will be devoted to the chemistry and physics (primarily of
sulfur) in a cloud-free convective boundary layer (CBL). During the
first phase, PASE investigators will study the chemistry and physics of
gases and aerosols in a cloud free environment. During Phase II,
researchers will focus on developing a better understanding of the
formation of new particles in the cloud outflow of marine cumulus.
PASE field activities will take place on Christmas Island in the
Pacific Ocean from 2 August through 10 September 2007. The NSF/NCAR
C-130 will carry the chemistry payload in support of the campaign.
