1. Report of DC-8 aircraft and instrument status-DC-8 flight scientist (Jack Dibb)-5min
2. Report of ER-2 aircraft and instrument status-ER-2 flight scientist (Eric Jensen)-5min
NASA research aircraft began flights Aug. 12 from Houston's Ellington Field to investigate how the combination of summer storms and rising air pollution from wildfires, cities, and other sources can change our climate. Hoping to improve future predictions of climate change, scientists in the NASA study are using the skies over much of the southern United States as a natural laboratory this month and into September.

Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional Surveys
(SEAC4RS)
1. To determine how pollutant emissions are redistributed via deep convection throughout
the troposphere.
2. To determine the evolution of gases and aerosols in deep convective outflow and the
implications for UT/LS chemistry.
3. To identify the influences and feedbacks of aerosol particles from anthropogenic
