TC4 Flight 16

DIAL Aerosol and Ozone Distributions

---

Flight 16 / Costa Rica to Sacramento, CA / August 10, 2007

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 FASTOZ instrument (PI: Melody Avery) at DC-8 flight altitudes.

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