SUCCESS
Definition
- The Atmospheric Aerosol Chemical Composition Measurements for the Subsonic Aircraft: Contrail and Cloud Effects Special Study (SUCCESS) was an airborne expedition conducted aboard the NASA Ames DC-8 research aircraft during April/May 1996. The purpose of this project was to better determine the radiative properties of cirrus clouds and contrails so that satellite observations can more reliable assess their impact on the Earth's radiation budget. The goals of the program included determining how cirrus clouds form, whether exhaust from subsonic aircraft affects their formation, and if the changes might be climatologically significant. Measurements also were performed to better determine the chemical characteristics of gaseous and particulate exhaust products from subsonic aircraft and their temporal evolution in the upper troposphere. The Global Atmospheric Chemistry Group at the University of New Hampshire is conducting measurements of the detailed chemical composition of the atmospheric aerosol.
