MATAGRO, 28/30-01-2013: Diário de Campanha

Confirmation from the Rescue

30 Jan

 It's almost time to leave MZS (the trip is foreseen for the 2nd of Feb), so today I went to remove the radiometer (mod MFR7) installed on the roof of one of the container at the Icaro camp. due to the snow of 2 days ago, I had to go to the camp with the helicopter. There was a little bit of wind, but everything was done in two hours.

During the 'nights' without seminars at MZS, beside the always big quantity of food, cakes and chocolate in the canteen there are different activities that can be done: watching recorded movies on the TV, go out to walk a little near the station or....work, so I was able to process the spectral data measured by the GASCOD in 2012. The analysis of the seasonal variation of the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) total content.
