Meinrat O. Andreae,Edward V. Browell,Michael Garstang,G. L. Gregory,R. C. Harriss,G. F. Hill,Daniel J. Jacob,M. C. Pereira,G. W. Sachse,Alberto Setzer,P. L. Silva Dias,Robert W. Talbot,A. L. Torres,Steven C. Wofsy +13 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of haze layers, which were visually observed over the central Amazon Basin during many of the Amazon Boundary Layer Experiment 2A flights in July/August 1985, were investigated by remote and in situ measurements, using a broad range of instrumentation and sampling equipment on board the Electra aircraft as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric OCS measurements on Project Gametag
TL;DR: In the spring of 1978, carbonyl sulfide measurements were made at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and on Project (global atmospheric measurements experiment of tropospheric aerosols and gases).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ozone loss in the lower stratosphere over the United States in 1992-1993: Evidence for heterogeneous chemistry on the Pinatubo aerosol
David J. Hofmann,Samuel J. Oltmans,W. D. Komhyr,Joyce M. Harris,J. A. Lathrop,Andrew O. Langford,Terry Deshler,Bryan J. Johnson,A. L. Torres,W. A. Matthews +9 more
TL;DR: Ozone profiles obtained at Boulder, Colorado and Wallops Island, Virginia indicate that ozone was about 25% below normal during the winter and spring of 1992-93 in the 12-22 km region as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results from the balloon ozone intercomparison campaign (BOIC)
E. Hilsenrath,W. Attmannspacher,A. Bass,W. Evans,R. Hagemeyer,R A. Barnes,W. Komhyr,K. Mauersberger,J. Mentall,Michael H. Proffitt,D. E. Robbins,S. Taylor,A. L. Torres,Elliot M. Weinstock +13 more
TL;DR: In the Balloon Ozone Intercomparison Campaign (BOIC) as mentioned in this paper, the accuracy and precision of various ozone measurement systems under development and those flown operationally were compared in three flight missions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric SO/sub 2/ measurements on Project GAMETAG
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple chemical model was used to conclude that a significant amount of background SO/sub 2/ may originate from the oxidation of OCS, which is a common source of SO in tropical oceans.
