GLAM

Inside the vast CHARMEX-MISTRALS, CHARMEX-MISTRALS, the GLAM experiment (Gradient in Longitude of Atmospheric constituents above the Mediterranean basin) aims to describe with a high resolution the distribution of pollutants over the Mediterranean Basin along an East-West axis, including vertical profiles. SAFIRE provided its Falcon 20 for 5 days of measurements between Francazal (France) and Larnaca (Cyprus) by measuring along the track at altitudes of 5000 m (one way) and 9000 m (return), and vertical soundings from 12000 m to less than 100 m above the sea. From 6 au 10 August 2014, a crew of 7 persons flew for more than 24 hours of scientific data collection. This experiment is for SAFIRE a very original issue for it has been made without any ground-based support for scientific instrumentation nor data processing. Even though measurements went without any problem, its feedback is a precious mean to enhance our service offer, in order to answer any similar demand in the future.
