GOTHAAM


Welcome to the GOTHAAM project page! We are not talking about the fictional city where a certain caped crusader lives, but a NSF NCAR supported airborne field project called GOTHAAM. GOTHAAM, or the Greater New York Oxidant Trace Gas Halogen and Aerosol Airborne Mission, is a project where a scientist-led team used an aircraft to better understand air pollution above the New York region.
GOTHAAM scientists are figuring out what’s in the air and how air pollutants form, change, and react throughout the day and night. The information gained from GOTHAAM will help us make better predictions about air pollution, improving the well-being and health of people across the world. Learn more about the project, the questions being asked, the people behind it, and why this is important for all of us.
