WESTERN AFRICA MISSION (WAM): GTE/AURA Collaborative Science Planning Committee: D.J. Jacob, E.V. Browell, W.H. Brune, J.H. Crawford, J.A. Logan, H.B. Singh Previously presented: AURA tropospheric chemisry validation workshop (Jan 28-29, 2002) AURA validation workshop ( March 19-20, 2002)

WESTERN AFRICA MISSION (WAM) an AURA collaborative science mission OBJECTIVES: To understand the interactions between biomass burning, the biosphere, human activity, lightning, and dust in determining tropospheric ozone and aerosol production over western Africa; To understand the mechanisms for outflow of ozone, aerosols, and their precursors from western Africa to the global troposphere; To characterize the transatlantic transport of this outflow; To provide Aura tropospheric validation data in a complex and highly variable tropical environment where TOMS appears to experience difficulties. TWO PHASES: Winter mission (Dec-Feb) with emphasis on biomass burning; Summer mission (Jun-Aug) with emphasis on monsoon and dust

COLLABORATION WITH EUROPEAN AMMA MISSION African Multidimensional Monsoon Analysis - OR – Analyse Multidimensionelle de la Mousson Africaine First operational phase: Apr-Oct 2005 –UK-France-U.S. collaboration focused on monsoon dynamics –Secondary focus: chemical processing in wet convection …but NASA/WAM planning committee thinks winter mission should go first NASA encouragement has spurred European plan for a winter “AMMA” mission with atmospheric chemistry focus: –Led by R. Delmas, G. Ancellet, J.-L. Redelsperger, F. Roux, K. Law –Could take place in winter 05/06, 06/07, 07/08 – Europeans are flexible –Two French aircraft: Mystere and turboprop –International conference to be organized by R. Delmas at end of this year

INTEGRATED OBSERVATIONAL STRATEGY FOR WAM AURA: Ozone, CO, H 2 O,NO, NO 2, HNO 3, CH4, HCHO, … 3-D CTM forecasts and analyses WB-57 and DC-8 aircraft SATELLITES AIRCRAFT, SONDES, GROUND MODELS Design mission to optimize value of combined AURA/aircraft data set towards addressing mission objectives and testing relevant CTMs; AURA validation is an essential component of process Others: CO 2, aerosols, surface properties, lightning…

WAM MISSION PLAN Two aircraft WB-57: vertical profiles to tropopause, convective outflow DC-8: source region characterization, lower-altitude outflow Link with other AURA validation missions WAM will be part of AVE and may link with TC3 Costa Rica deployment; WAM complements TC3 which focuses on cleaner and simpler regions of the tropics. Two seasons winter (Jan-Feb): biomass burning summer or shoulder season (Apr-Oct): monsoon, lightning Bases of operations Ivory Coast, Benin, Senegal (link with European planning) Ancillary measurements Ozonesonde launches, ground-based lidar Coordination with European aircraft, ground-based stations Timing winter 2006/2007 for first phase would be optimal

WAM AIRCRAFT PAYLOADS AND FLIGHT PLANS PAYLOADS –WB-57: AVE payload –DC-8: Remote ozone, aerosol, water vapor Ozone, CO, CO 2, H 2 O, UV, aerosol properties, NO y species, HO x and HO y species, VOCs, ammonia FLIGHT PLANS –Convective flights (WB-57, DC-8): vertical profiles in convective inflow/outflow, contrast to background – Source characterization flights (DC-8) –Chemical outflow and aging flights (DC-8) AURA VALIDATION STRATEGY –Use WB-57 profiling capabilities, support with DC-8 detailed aerosol/chemical payload and lidars.
