Short summary

In situ data from two flight campaigns in California’s San Joaquin Valley, an area characterized by complex terrain and patchy sources, is used to estimate important aspects of air pollution meteorology including rates of: vertical mixing, photochemical production of ozone, and the surface emission of non-reactive gases. Shown is the utility of airborne studies to help constrain crucial elements of air pollution modeling including vertical mixing, horizontal advection, and emission inventories.
