POLARCAT - Russia
In June 2008 aircraft will be working in the Siberia to assess the transport of Eurasian and boreal forest fire emissions into the eastern Arctic.
The YAK-AEROSIB objective is to establish systematic observations of atmospheric concentrations in CO2, CO and O3 over the interior of Eurasia. The measurements will be collected over several years over a transcontinental route between Western and Eastern Siberia.
