A Gulfstream 1 twin turboprop aircraft is operated as a research facility in support of the Atmospheric Chemistry Program and other DOE Programs. It is equipped for atmospheric chemistry, aerosol, turbulence, and radiative transfer research by investigators. Up to 250 hours of research flying is provided by the facility in support of research programs. Support includes assistance with installation of investigator-provided equipment, instrument calibration and maintenance, off-site logistics, air and ground crews, and all aircraft maintenance and air-crew certification. Comprehensive data files of all variables measured during a flight are generated. Data tapes are sent to or computer files are made available to investigators within a month after the end of a field study.

Some further information can be found in the viewgraphs from a presentation at the Atmospheric Sciences Program Annual Meeting held in February 2001.
