HIPPO (Hiaper Pole-to-Pole Observations), is an acronym for a special atmospheric measurement project using a modified Gulfstream V jet aircraft. The plane, operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, is instrumented with a wide range of equipment to measure atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases like CO2, flying from the North Pole to the South Pole. The data gathered by the aircraft will be used to improve computer models that predict future climate change. A number of ground-based measurement progammes, including the Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry group's activities at the University of Wollongong, are also recording the concentrations of greenhouse gases from the ground, so the overflight of the HIPPO aircraft is an important calibration procedure for the aircraft and ground station measurements.
