    Description: Estimates of global aerosol production suggest that mobilization of natural eolian material greatly exceeds anthropogenic-related emissions, and it appears that soil material transported from arid regions by wind might be mainly responsible for the distribution of certain clay materials in oceanic sediments. In connection with studies related to an investigation of these possibilities, the present paper provides a discussion of the aerosol spatial distribution and its water-soluble chemical composition in the tropical North Atlantic troposphere during the ABLE-Barbados mission. Particular attention is given to the composition of the water-soluble fraction, since its chemical reactivity is important with respect to various atmospheric and biogeochemical processes. On the basis of the obtained results, it is suggested that Saharan dust has also a significant impact on the aerosol chemistry over the tropical North Atlantic.

    Description: Airborne differential absorption lidar and in situ data obtained during the April 20, 1984 flight experiment conducted over Nevada and California are analyzed. The O3 and aerosols profiles and in situ measurements reveal a 2.0-km-deep layer (with high O3 concentrations and enhanced aerosol backscattering) and a correlation of 0.8 between O3 and aerosol backscatter (with both values decreasing about 25 percent along the central axis of the fold). It is observed that the cold boundary of the fold has weaker gradients, larger-scale undulations, and more irregularity than the warm boundary. The potential vorticity distribution along the flight path was derived from radiosonde data. A positive correlation between the O3 mixing ratio and the potential vorticity values in the fold is detected; the average ratio between O3 and potential vorticity is 50.2 ppbv/10 to the -5th sq cm deg per g s.

    Description: A set of 14 pairs of vertical profiles of ozone and carbon monoxide, obtained with fast-response instrumentation, is presented. Most of these profiles, which were measured in the remote troposphere, also have supporting fast-response dew-point temperature profiles. The data suggest that the continental boundary layer is a source of tropospheric ozone, even in October and November, when photochemical activity should be rather small. In general, the small-scale vertical variability between CO and O3 is in phase. At low latitudes this relationship defines levels in the atmosphere where midlatitude air is being transported to lower latitudes, since lower dew-point temperatures accompany these higher CO and O3 concentrations. A set of profiles which is suggestive of interhemispheric transport is also presented. Independent meteorological analyses support these interpretations.

    Description: An overview of the airborne intercomparisons of CO, NO, and OH instrumentation is presented in this first paper of the series on the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment/Chemical Instrumentation Test and Evaluation (GTE/CITE 1). This paper provides the reader with background information about several important characteristics of the project. These include the overall objectives and approach, the measurements taken, the intercomparison protocol, aircraft platform, profiles of each aircraft flight, and the participants. A synopsis of the overall results of the CO, NO, and OH instrument intercomparisons is also included. Companion papers discuss the detailed results of the CO and NO intercomparison tests as well as pertinent scientific findings.

    Description: A comparison is made of the atmospheric chemistry within and above the atmospheric boundary layer over the tropical forest of Guyana. The data were gathered by NASA during the Global Tropospheric Experiment program in 1984, with an instrumented aircraft being used to collect data at altitudes of 3.5 km and between 150-450 m. The synoptic data covered concentrations of O3, CO, dimethylsulfide (DMS), halocarbons and isoprene and three different aerosol particulate measurements (DIAL system). The forest boundary layer proved to be a significant sink for O3, and a source for substantial emissions of DMS. Isoprene emitted by the forest was photochemically oxidized and became a source of CO.
