ATom Postcard - Azore Islands to Kangerlussuaq

The video covers a series of scientific flights conducted to study atmospheric phenomena. The journey begins from Ascension Island to Prihoda Victoria, crossing hemispheres and observing biomass burning and Saharan dust. The next segment involves a flight over Greenland, examining glaciers and the impact of biomass burning from Siberia. The final part discusses the end of the Atom 1 deployment, with flights from Greenland to Minneapolis and observations of methane emissions. The video highlights the importance of these studies in understanding climate change and its effects.
