CITE-2 and CITE-3 Data Released

Data Release

Resolved

The Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) has released data for the Chemical Instrumentation Test and Evaluation (CITE) missions. While there were three deployments for CITE (CITE-1, CITE-2, CITE-3), data is only available for CITE-2 and CITE-3, as CITE-1 data was unable to be located and therefore was not transferred to ASDC. 

CITE-2 was conducted in August 1986 over California and the eastern Pacific Ocean with a focus on daytime odd nitrogen and the evaluation of instrumentation developed for measuring nitrogen species. CITE-3 occurred in the North and tropical Atlantic Ocean from August to September 1989, with the goal of testing and evaluating the capacity to collect reliable measurements of sulfur species.
