    Description: Because of the importance of HONO as a radical reservoir, consistent and accurate measurements of its concentration are needed. As part of SHARP (Study of Houston Atmospheric Radical Precursors), time series of HONO were obtained by six different measurement techniques on the roof of the Moody Tower (MT) at the University of Houston. Techniques used were long path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS), stripping coil- visible absorption photometry (SC-AP), long-path absorption photometry (LOPAP®), mist chamber/ ion chromatography (MC-IC), quantum cascade-tunable infrared laser differential absorption spectroscopy (QC-TILDAS) and ion drift -chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ID-CIMS). Various combinations of techniques were in operation from 15 April through 31 May 2009. All instruments recorded a similar diurnal pattern of HONO concentrations with higher median and mean values during the night than during the day. Highest values were observed in the final two weeks of the campaign. Inlets for the MC-IC, SC-AP, and QC-TILDAS were collocated and agreed most closely with each other based on several measures. Largest differences between pairs of measurements were evident during the day for concentrations 〈 ~100 ppt. Above ~ 200 ppt, concentrations from the SC-AP, MC-IC and QC-TILDAS converged to within about 20%, with slightly larger discrepancies when DOAS was considered. During the first two weeks, HONO measured by ID-CIMS agreed with these techniques, but ID-CIMS reported higher values during the afternoon and evening of the final four weeks, possibly from interference from unknown sources. A number of factors, including building related sources, likely affected measured concentrations.

    Description: We present a statistical representation of the aggregate effects of deep convection on the chemistry and dynamics of the upper troposphere (UT) based on direct aircraft observations of the chemical composition of the UT over the eastern United States and Canada during summer. These measurements provide unique observational constraints on the chemistry occurring downwind of convection and the rate at which air in the UT is recycled. These results provide quantitative measures that can be used to evaluate global climate and chemistry models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bertram, Timothy H -- Perring, Anne E -- Wooldridge, Paul J -- Crounse, John D -- Kwan, Alan J -- Wennberg, Paul O -- Scheuer, Eric -- Dibb, Jack -- Avery, Melody -- Sachse, Glen -- Vay, Stephanie A -- Crawford, James H -- McNaughton, Cameron S -- Clarke, Antony -- Pickering, Kenneth E -- Fuelberg, Henry -- Huey, Greg -- Blake, Donald R -- Singh, Hanwant B -- Hall, Samuel R -- Shetter, Richard E -- Fried, Alan -- Heikes, Brian G -- Cohen, Ronald C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Feb 9;315(5813):816-20.

    Description: Lightning is one of the most important sources of upper tropospheric NO x ; however, there is a large spread in estimates of the global emission rates (2–8 Tg N yr −1 ). We combine upper tropospheric in situ observations from the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) experiment and global satellite retrieved NO 2 tropospheric column densities to constrain mean lightning NO x (LNO x ) emissions flash −1 . Insights from DC3 indicate that the NO x lifetime is ~3 hours in the region of outflow of thunderstorms, mainly due to production of methyl peroxy nitrate and alkyl and multifunctional nitrates. The lifetime then increases further downwind from the region of outflow. Reinterpreting previous analyses using the 3 hour lifetime reduces the spread among various methods that have been used to calculate mean LNO x emissions flash −1 and indicates a global LNO x emission rate of ~9 Tg N yr −1 , a flux larger than the high end of recent estimates.

    Notes: Abstract The concentrations of7Be,210Pb and major ions have been measured in acrosol and snow samples collected near Summit, Greenland (72°20′N, 38°45′W) in the summers of 1989 and 1990. Comparison to previous results from free tropospheric sampling of the North American Arctic indicates that some acrosol-associated species are as much as 50% depleted in near surface air over the Greenland Ice Sheet. It is shown that local atmospheric processes, particularly isolation of air masses beneath a near surface inversion, can exert dominant influence on the chemistry of surface-level air. These findings illustrate the extreme caution that must be taken if the results of surface-based atmospheric sampling are to be used to examine the relationship between the chemistry of the atmosphere and snow falling from it. Depth profiles of7Be in the surface layers of the snowpack near Summit suggest that up to half of the annual accumulation of snow may occur in the two to three month late spring-early summer period. If this is generally true for the Summit region, previous regional studies of snow chemistry that assumed linear dependence of age on depth to convert depth profiles to time series will have to be reassesed. However, spatial heterogeneity of near surface snow chemistry, that is currently not well understood, makes interpretation of the7Be profiles tentative at present.

    Description: We derive tropospheric column BrO during the ARCTAS and ARCPAC field campaigns in spring 2008 using retrievals of total column BrO from the satellite UV nadir sensors OMI and GOME-2 using a radiative transfer model and stratospheric column BrO from a photochemical simulation. We conduct a comprehensive comparison of satellite-derived tropospheric BrO column to aircraft in-situ observations of BrO and related species. The aircraft profiles reveal that tropospheric BrO, when present during April 2008, was distributed over a broad range of altitudes rather than being confined to the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Perturbations to the total column resulting from tropospheric BrO are the same magnitude as perturbations due to longitudinal variations in the stratospheric component, so proper accounting of the stratospheric signal is essential for accurate determination of satellite-derived tropospheric BrO. We find reasonably good agreement between satellite-derived tropospheric BrO and columns found using aircraft in-situ BrO profiles, particularly when satellite radiances were obtained over bright surfaces (albedo 〉0.7), for solar zenith angle 〈80° and clear sky conditions. The rapid activation of BrO due to surface processes (the bromine explosion) is apparent in both the OMI and GOME-2 based tropospheric columns. The wide orbital swath of OMI allows examination of the evolution of tropospheric BrO on about hourly time intervals near the pole. Low surface pressure, strong wind, and high PBL height are associated with an observed BrO activation event, supporting the notion of bromine activation by high winds over snow.
