Measurements of carbon monoxide, condensation nuclei, and ozone concentrations were obtained during a 54 hour polar flight around the world by an automated instrument package carried by a B-747SP commercial aircraft. These and other data were obtained as part of the NASA Global Atmospheric Sampling Program. All data exhibited longitudinal and hemispheric differences. Analysis of the data indicate increased concentrations of carbon monoxide and condensation nuclei at flight levels in the troposphere over tropical land masses. A background concentration for condensation nuclei was found to be 200 cm-3 for tropical tropospheric maritime air.
