Comparison of Aircraft to Surface Ozone Measurements

Summary (1 of 3) Ozone carryover aloft was seen below the subsidence inversion on all mornings in spirals in the Basin Peak carryover in the Basin in the boundary layer averaged 64 ppb and ranged up to 120 ppb. Morning Basin surface concentrations in spirals averaged 16 ppb. Surface concentrations will clearly be increased by mixing down of aloft ozone as the mixing layer deepens.

Summary (2 of 3) Detached layers were seen above the boundary layer on less than 20% of morning and afternoon spirals. Detached layers are not likely to be important contributors to surface concentrations in the Basin, but may impact mountain slopes. High afternoon ozone concentrations occur in low- elevation layers offshore which may impact coastal slopes. Morning boundary conditions in the desert on the first days of episodes ranged from 40 to 70 ppb for ozone, with typical variations of 20 to 30 ppb from place to place on any day.

Summary (3 of 3) Morning boundary conditions for NO y were typically 2 to 4 ppb with variations of 1 to 2 ppb from place to place. Typically about half or more of the boundary NO y was nitric acid or nitrate aerosol. Instantaneous aircraft ozone data agreed well with nearby surface hourly averages and should be useful for model evaluation.
