Summary
• Measurements show ozone layers aloft.
• Ozone layers are persistent and wide-spread over the SCOS97 domain.
• Transported ozone layers have potential to impact downwind areas at surface.
Future Steps:
Want to identify source region and fate of ozone layers aloft.
• Expand current analysis and include additional platforms (UCD Cessna, US Navy aircraft, ozonesondes, lidar, surface monitoring sites).
• Trajectory analysis using profiler and modeled wind fields.
• Investigation of HC and NOy data collected by aircraft.
