North Slope Alaska 2016 Summer Deployment

I deployed with the NOAA Twin Otter Research Aircraft in the summer of 2016. These are some of my results. In the future, I hope to continue to add interactive apps so that you can explore our data and see our analysis results. Here are some of my initial attempts.

Enjoy!

Here is some of the raw data from our flights in an application you can visualize. In order to interact with the application below choose one of the days we flew from the drop down menu and the trace gas species you would like to see plotted then check the “Plot Flights?” button to launch the interactive map. You can use the slider bar in order to customize the range of the color bar the data is plotted on, this may allow you to see some unique features.

Analysis of these data is published in Atmospheric Environment: here.

These figures are plotted every 7th data point based on computational constraints of my application server. The actual data is much higher resolution. The apps imbedded in this page may take a while to load.

As a part of my analysis I have been referencing and using database products distributed by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (http://doa.alaska.gov/ogc/publicdb.html). I had a hard time finding easily accessible visualizations of this database, so I decided to make one. I have a rough cut of an app below. I will continue to add to this.
