The CU AMAX-DOAS instrument was deployed on the NOAA Twin Otter in the summer of 2023 as part of the Coastal Urban Plume Dynamics Study (CUPiDS) to examine urban and marine chemistry in the New York City area.
Scientific goals of airborne DOAS during CUPiDS (“Coastal Urban Plume Dynamics Study”) are to study urban and marine emissions (NOx, iodine), map RFN, albedo, and coastal flows.
