  14. Summary • Bakersfield versus LA – Vastly different emission sources, particularly for Reactive Organic Gases • Bakersfield hourly speciated organics include 500+ chemicals spanning 15 orders of magnitude in volatility, and wide range of composition • Bakersfield PM1 dominantly organic & secondary • Primary and secondary tracers useful for identification of sources • Gas/particle partitioning observed • Analysis of data just beginning SPECIAL THANKS TO: John Karlik, Rick Ramirez UC Cooperative Extension Kern County Staff R.

  15. Airborne measurements of volatile organic compounds in the Los Angeles Basin and the Central Valley, California Carsten Warneke from the NOAA WP-3 CalNex science team NOAA Chemical Sciences Division and CIRES, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado CalNex 2010 Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change • Overview of the NOAA WP-3 CalNex mission • VOCs indicating aging and mixing of the Los Angeles plume

  16. Conclusions • Central Valley: • Large emissions from agriculture • LA basin: • Fresh emissions are mixed with 1 and 2 day old pollution • During the night: also processed • On weekends: more processed than during the week • CO and VOCs have decreased by about a factor of two since 2002 NOAA WP-3 CalNex 2010 Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change David Parrish, Michael Trainer, Tom Ryerson CalNex Science team

Sara.M.Lance@noaa.gov Goal: Retrieve cloud optical thickness and effective radius from the surface

  29. Rich Moore richard.moore@chbe.gatech.edu Georgia Tech. Calnex 2010 CCN Measurements on WP-3D Flights low over the water southwest of Los Angeles during cloud module • 5-6x variability in CN, 2-3x variability in CCN for in-cloud versus out-of-cloud • AMS shows mostly similar organic, sulfate loadings

  30. Rich Moore richard.moore@chbe.gatech.edu Georgia Tech. June 18th Flight P-3 is porpoising west and then back east • Look for aerosol gradients west from the coast. • Particle concentrations drop off more quickly between 200-600 m than above

  31. Overview of CalNex 2010: • Sites, Platforms • Some Significant Findings, and • Areas of Possible Collaboration with Atlantis • Coal Oil Point seep – comparison with WP-3D measurements over Deep Water Horizon BP oil leak - progressing well (Gilman, Vlasenko presentations) • Emission studies – LA outflow, Central Valley – Does the Atlantis see consistent results with other platforms and sites? (Gilman, Vlasenko, Massoli presentations)

  32. Overview of CalNex 2010: • Sites, Platforms • Some Significant Findings, and • Areas of Possible Collaboration with Atlantis • Secondary Organic Aerosol and Relationship to Precursors– Likely largest challenge, and area of most potential - (Gilman, Vlasenko, Bertram, Zhang, Bates, Frossard, Nuaaman, Massoli, Hakala, Gaston, sea sweep, others(?) presentations) - CalNex had a tremendous variety of relevant, state-of-the-art instrumentation deployed on Atlantis, CIRPAS Twin Otter and WP-3D mobile platforms, as well as LA and Bakersfield ground sites • - CARES conducted a complementary program (Zhang presentation)

  33. Overview of CalNex 2010: • Sites, Platforms • Some Significant Findings, and • Areas of Possible Collaboration with Atlantis CalNex has provided an unprecedented data set: It will be exciting to see the interpretations and analyses that you all develop!
