Great Basin Ozone Problem Measurements indicate high ozone concentrations in the Great Basin. Back trajectory analysis and satellite remote sensing will be used to shed light on the causes. Great Basin National Park: N W. South Fork Recreation Area: N W.

Ground Based Ozone Measurements at Two Remote Sites in Nevada

Ozone Time Series July – August 2011 July 1 Aug 31 July 22, 10 a.m.

Diel Ozone Concentration: July through August 2011

Back Trajectory Analysis for 22 July 2011 The ozone peak on this day at the Great Basin National Park is likely due to the air earlier passing over Las Vegas Nevada. It is likely that the green trajectory extends to Los Angeles as well. The air at the South Fork Recreation Area arrives from the north and west, and travels for awhile near the I80 corridor.

Are we seeing a trend to higher global concentrations of ozone? Ozone is a very reactive, short lived gas. Ozone precursors include products of anthropogenic pollution and biomass burning.

MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth Averaged For July Diagnosis 2008 as a ‘fire year’ in Northern CA and NV. Great Basin values are likely biased high due to surface brightness and algorithm assumptions (dark target retrieval).

Review: Two pathways for light to MODIS

Recall the standard ‘Dark Target’ method for obtaining surface reflectivity and AOD.

Review: MODIS ‘Dark Target’ Aerosol Retrievals Over Land Algorithm

How does the surface reflectance model perform? (Andrew Joros results for the Great Basin) 8 July 2011 – Dry Regime 470nm Scatterplot 660nm Scatterplot Y=.25x Y=. 5x 470 nm has lower reflectivity than 660 nm. Model and measurements match at only a few points. Green shaded region used in the ‘safe’ part of the ‘Dark Target’ algorithm. Red shaded region used for the alternate ‘Dark Target’ algorithm (note model disagreement).

How does the surface reflectance model perform? (Andrew Joros results for the Great Basin) 8 July 2011 – Dry Regime 470nm Scatterplot 660nm Scatterplot Y=x/4 Y=x/2 The black curve fits the lowest surface reflectance values much better for 2130 nm reflectance larger than 0.25, likely representing desert surfaces rather than vegetated surfaces.
