Fly Along With NASA's Cloud Hunters

Tim McDonnell and James West of Climate Desk were invited to fly along with the NASA DC-8 on a SEAC4RS mission to investigate and measure clouds. The resulting video published at Mother Jones magazine shows the on-board equipment used within the cramped space of the cabin. Scientists in flight keep busy monitoring levels of aerosols, solar radiation, CO₂, biogenic emissions, and other atmospheric chemicals. (published September 4, 2014)
