Evolution of Asian aerosols during transpacific transport in INTEX-B
Measurements of aerosol composition were made with an Aerodyne High Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) on board the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft as part of the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment Phase B (INTEX-B) field campaign over the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The HR-ToF-AMS measurements of non-refractory submicron aerosol mass are shown to compare well with ...
متن کاملVariability of springtime transpacific pollution transport during 2000–2006: the INTEX-B mission in the context of previous years
We analyze the transport of pollution across the Pacific during the NASA INTEX-B (Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment Part B) campaign in spring 2006 and examine how this year compares to the time period for 2000 through 2006. In addition to aircraft measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) collected during INTEX-B, we include in this study multi-year satellite retrievals of CO from the ...
متن کاملChemistry and transport of pollution over the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific: spring 2006 INTEX-B campaign overview and first results
Intercontinental Chemical Transport ExperimentB (INTEX-B) was a major NASA (Acronyms are provided in Appendix A.) led multi-partner atmospheric field campaign completed in the spring of 2006 (http://cloud1.arc.nasa.gov/intex-b/). Its major objectives aimed at (i) investigating the extent and persistence of the outflow of pollution from Mexico; (ii) understanding transport and evolution of Asian...
متن کاملImpact of mineral dust on nitrate, sulfate, and ozone in transpacific Asian pollution plumes
We use a 3-D global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to interpret aircraft observations of nitrate and sulfate partitioning in transpacific dust plumes during the INTEX-B campaign of April–May 2006. The model includes explicit transport of size-resolved mineral dust and its alkalinity, nitrate, and sulfate content. The observations show that particulate nitrate is primarily associated with ...
متن کاملMeteorological indices for Asian outflow and transpacific transport on daily to interannual timescales
[1] We examine the variability of Asian pollution outflow to the western Pacific and its associated long-range transport to the northeast (NE) Pacific between 1992 and 2002, using a global simulation of carbon monoxide (CO). We develop three new sea-level pressure indices, which capture variations in transpacific transport on daily to interannual timescales. Our first index, LRT1 (standardized ...
