Pollution events observed during CARIBIC flights in the upper troposphere between South China and the Philippines

Pollution events observed during CARIBIC flights in the upper troposphere between South China and the Philippines

A strong pollution episode in the upper troposphere between South China and the Philippines was observed during CARIBIC flights in April 2007. Five pollution events were observed, where enhancements in aerosol and trace gas concentrations including CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, CH&...
