- Abstract:
- CHABLIS is a major and unprecedented initiative to explore atmospheric chemistry of the Antarctic boundary layer (ABL). Key Goals are: 1. to explore the chemistry of the ABL through a year-round study of chemical climatology culminating in an intensive summer campaign to measure a comprehensive suite of radicals and other trace species; 2. to test numerical models of the pristine atmosphere under extreme conditions; 3. to extend significantly our ability to interpret ice core data by improving understanding of both the present-day atmosphere and transfer functions. Fieldwork will be carried out at the new Clean Air Sector Laboratory at Halley station. The team from UK universities and the British Antarctic Survey will bring to the project a suite of state-of-the-art instruments and models and a track record of successfully running major campaigns together in remote locations.
