The Campaign

The Chemical Instrumentation Test and Evaluation (CITE) was a NASA campaign that focused on studying trace gases to help with the development and validation of instrumentation. CITE consisted of five deployments during boreal spring, summer, and fall from 1983-1989 across parts of North America and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Airborne and ground-based measurements of trace gases, aerosols, and other atmospheric chemistry properties were collected. CITE was funded through NASA’s Tropospheric Chemistry program and was one of the Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) campaigns.
