MOPITT Observations of CO during TRACE P Future work at Harvard University
Colette Heald Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group Harvard University Advisor: Daniel Jacob MOPITT Science Team Meeting February 7, 2002
2
Motivation Opportunity to examine MOPITT data in the context of many observational data sets in addition to models. What additional information does MOPITT bring to bear on CO sources during TRACE-P? +

TRACE-P: An Integrated Approach
2 aircraft mission over the Western Pacific in Feb– Apr 2001 Objective: determine chemical composition and evolution of Asian outflow in the Spring ASIA P-3 Satellite data DC-8 PACIFIC 3D chemical model ASIAN OUTFLOW What measured on TP? O3, NO, H2O, CO, met params, aerosol, PAN, HNO3, H2O2, CH3OOH (methylhydroperoxide), hydrocarbons, OH, HO2, NO2, CO2, N2O, CH4, acetone, actinic fluxes and photolysis rates, SO2, etc. etc. DC-8 (ceiling 12 km) P-3B (ceiling 7 km) 24 flights from Wallops – Dryden – Palmdale – Kona, Hawaii – Guam – Hong Kong – Okinowa -Yokota -Midway Emissions Fossil fuel Biomass burning Biosphere, dust

MOPITT and TRACE-P MOPITT Data Evaluation
Comparing to aircraft CO, CMDL CO, GEOS-CHEM CO and fire activity Using MOPITT to evaluate GEOS-CHEM Do MOPITT observations highlight particular model strengths/weaknesses?
