NASA to study atmospheric behavior in Costa Rica
SAN JOSE, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States will conduct an atmospheric analysis in Costa Rica as part of a world study on climate change, the La Republica daily reported on Saturday.
Costa Rican scientist Jorge Diaz, a local coordinator of the project told the press that the first phase of the study will start on Jan. 24 and will be completed on February 11 as part of the experiment "Air Validation Experiment."
Nearly 50 scientists will study the flow of gases, aerosols, water and the generation of ozone in the low part of the atmosphere, with the support of space instruments and a high- altitude-flight WB- 57 airplane, added Diaz in reference to a zone located to a height of up to 50 km.
A second stage will begin in 2005 with the participation of 300 NASA experts and five special airplanes.
