ARCTAS Flight 02

DIAL Aerosol and Ozone Distributions

---

Flight 02 / Test Flight #2 / March 20, 2008

DC8 flight track images (UT) | Entire Flight |

Note:

1. DIAL measures ozone densities, the molecular densities from the AFGL standard atmosphere tables have been used to calculate mixing ratios.

2. The DIAL ozone images contain insitu ozone from the NCAR NOxyO3 4-channel chemiluminescence instrument (PI: A. Weinheimer) at DC-8 flight altitudes.

3. Scattering ratio normalizations have used molecular densities from the AFGL standard atmosphere tables.
