ATom Mission interview clips — Donald Blake

The video tutorial discusses the origins and naming of 'snakes' in air sampling, a process that began in the 1980s. It explains the air sampling process, where air is collected unfiltered, pressurized, and stored in evacuated canisters. The tutorial details the types of gases measured, including greenhouse gases and those from biomass burning. The project aims to measure around 100 gases, some of which have never been globally sampled. The video concludes with the project's goals and the anticipation of discovering new insights, akin to the explorations of Lewis and Clark.
