BOREAS Operations 1996: Boreal Ecosystem - Atmosphere Study

Abstract

The design of the BOREAS-96 field experiment is described in the BOREAS Experiment plan (EXPLAN-96); preliminary results and a summary of field operations and weather conditions may be found in Hall et al. (1997). This document describes what was actually achieved in BOREAS-96. The reports from individual investigators, minutes from evening planning meetings, aircraft logs, etc., have all been analyzed to produce a condensed history of the measurements taken in the field and the experimental conditions experienced during the field year. This document is primarily intended to serve as a desktop guide for scientists and staff in the project, which will allow quick scanning across investigations prior to delving into the detailed data sets held in BORIS.
