ATom Postcard - Palmdale to Kona

The video discusses a mission from California to the North Pole, highlighting challenges like bad weather in the Arctic, which affected sampling. The crew observed melting ice and atmospheric changes, noting clean air in the Arctic but extreme heat and fires in Alaska and Siberia. The mission, akin to James Cook's explorations, involves flying a DC-8 around the world to study atmospheric gases and climate change. The team is currently in Hawaii, planning to continue to American Samoa and New Zealand.

Describe the observations made regarding atmospheric gases during the flight.

What locations did the crew plan to visit after Hawaii?
