CARVE: Daily Flight Reports, 2012-2015

This dataset includes detailed daily flight reports from each of the airborne campaigns over the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic for the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE). The reports include plots of the flight path, altitude, wind and weather conditions, IR and visible light images, and initial analysis of the atmospheric gas concentrations encountered along the flight. Flight campaigns took place from 2012 to 2015 between the months of March and November to enable investigation of both seasonal and inter-annual variability in atmospheric gas content. The CARVE measurements are crucial for understanding changes in Arctic carbon cycling and the potential threats posed by thawing of Arctic permafrost.

本数据集收录了碳储库脆弱性实验（CARVE）期间，针对阿拉斯加及加拿大北极地区空中考察的每日详细飞行报告。报告内容涵盖飞行轨迹、高度、风速和天气状况、红外和可见光图像，以及飞行过程中遇到的大气气体浓度初步分析。飞行考察活动于2012年至2015年之间，每年的三月至十一月进行，旨在探究大气气体成分的季节性和年际变化。CARVE的测量数据对于理解北极碳循环的变化以及北极永久冻土融化所引发的潜在威胁至关重要。
