ACD goes to MIRAGE
MIRAGE-Mexico is a field campaign designed to examine the chemical and physical transformations of gases and aerosols in the polluted outflow from Mexico City. The campaign coordinates and integrates observations from ground stations, aircraft, and satellites, and provides a rich data base for improving regional and global models of the transport and transformations of aging urban pollutants. MIRAGE-Mex is organized by ACD's Chemical Processes and Regional Modeling Group on behalf of the atmospheric sciences community.
Specific Activities Include:
- The Global Chemical Transport Modeling Group is conducting MOZART forecasts
- MOPITT is participating in MIRAGE
- ACD visitor Sherry Stephens is comparing mirage with historical data to determine if any trends exist
