The Campaign

The Bromine, Ozone, and Mercury Experiment (BROMEX) was a NASA field campaign that investigated how the decline of Arctic sea ice affects atmospheric bromine, ozone, and mercury levels. BROMEX conducted a single deployment over Alaska and the surrounding seas during the boreal spring of 2012. Airborne and ground-based measurements of gas concentration profiles were collected to complement satellite data on changes in snow and sea ice. BROMEX was funded by NASA’s Cryospheric Sciences Program and coordinated with activities during the 2012 Operation Ice Bridge deployment.
