  1. Mulit-species Observations from the first 3 HIPPO Campaigns Britton Stephens (NCAR EOL) and HIPPO Science Team

  2. PIs: Harvard, NCAR, Scripps, NOAA • Global and seasonal survey of CO2, O2, CH4, CO, N2O, H2, SF6, COS, CFCs, HCFCs, O3, H2O, CO2 isotopes, Ar, black carbon, and hydrocarbons • NSF / NCAR Gulfstream V • 5 campaigns over 4 years • Continuous profiling from surface to 10 km and to 15 km twice per flight • hippo.ucar.edu (also Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) Canterbury, New Zealand Pago Pago, American Samoa Brooks Range, Alaska

  3. HIPPO_2 Nov 2009 HIPPO_3 Mar/Apr 2010 (same track NB, SB) HIPPO_4 Jun 2011 (NB track via E. Pacific) HIPPO_5 Sep 2011 (NB track NB, SB) ~ 600 vertical profiles; nearly 1000 at HIPPO's conclusion.

  4. Tropical Land and Northern Land fluxes plotted versus annual-mean northern-hemisphere vertical CO2 gradient Continental-scale carbon flux uncertainties are still very large, owing to biases in atmospheric CO2 transport [Stephens et al., 2007]

  8. Species measured by PANTHER and UCATS Fred Moore, Eric Hintsa, Dale Hurst, Jim Elkins PANTHER (6-Channel GC): ECD channels: N2O, SF6, CCl2F2 (CFC-12),) CCl3F (CFC-11), and CBrClF2 (halon-1211) injected every 70 seconds, and H2, CH4, CO, CCl4, CH3CCl3 (methyl chloroform) and PAN (peroxyl acetyl nitrate) injected every 140 seconds. The width of a sample load on an ECD channel is only 3 seconds, allowing this data set to correlate well with other fast measurements. MSD channels: The methyl halides CH3I, CH3Br, CH3Cl, the sulfur compounds COS, CS2, the hydrochlorofluorocarbons CHClF2 (HCFC-22), C2H3Cl2F (HCFC-141b), C2H3ClF2 (HCFC-142b), and the hydrofluorocarbon C2H2F4 (HFC-134a) are injected every 180 seconds with 150 seconds sample load width. This data set correlates with a time average of other fast measurements. UCATS: 2-Channel GC: every 70 s (N2O, SF6) or every 140 s (H2, CH4, CO) TDL: 10-second average H2O Photometer: 1-Hz O3

  27. Summary and conclusions • HIPPO provides a new type of data for CO2 and GHG studies: global, extremely fine grained, many tracers. • Major transport processes are clearly delineated, some not captured well by models—the warm conveyor belt (intense, persistent, ensemble of small scale processes), Arctic Cold Dome, and Antarctic marine PBL are examples. • Multiple tracers shine a light into the "Modelers' Closet"—quantitatively confront global models with fine scale data (reaction vs. transport time scales). • Source/sink regions are revealed and impacts quantified—N2O in the tropics and Antarctic, marine reactive species. • The data will be completely public as soon as possible, to encourage their use.
