Comparison to Previous Observations: South Pacific [Latitude < 35N] South
17
Questions and Directions Further intercomparison of satellite and in situ data Use NO 2 /HNO 3 and age of air to explore sources of NO x/y and convective influences Document Intercomparisons of TD-LIF with other airborne measurements during INTEX-B Compare and Contrast modeled composition of ANs and abundances of individual ANs in INTEX-A, and both phases of INTEX-B Compare observations to previous Pacific Missions
