  1. UIOWA, NCAR, GMAO, NRL Chemical forecasts for Aug 14th flights 13 Aug 2013 Compiled by Mary Barth and Pablo Saide, Arlindoda Silva, David Peterson , contributions from all groups

  2. Fires: locations and CO-fire tracers FINN QFED2 LOCATIONS

  3. NASA NNR AOD composite yesterday

  4. GEOS-5 SMOKE AOD NAAPS AOD MACC SMOKE AOD MASSINGAR SMOKE AOD

  5. CO fire 700mb BB 18 UTC GMAO-GEOS5 CO fire 700mb BB 18 UTC WRF-Chem Idaho fire smoke is coming to SEUS Tracers and AOD showing Idaho fire influence on a streamer GMAO – GEOS5 forecast has high AOD assimilated WRF-Chem assimilates AOD but it did not get the high AOD product Organic Carbon AOD 18 UTC AOD 18 UTC

  6. Isoprene tracer for midday Wednesday is >5 ppb at 925mb and >1ppb at 850mb over Mississippi and Ozarks; less isoprene in AL Anthropogenic NO tracer has same pattern Isoprene 925mb 18 UTC WRF-Chem MOZART 0.5deg Isoprene tracer (2-day lifetime) MOZART 0.5deg Anthro-NOx tracer (2-day lifetime)

  7. Flexpart trajectory from Birmingham Birmingham plume is going southward then eastward (same with Atlanta) - some of the plume gets lofted WRF-Chem Total CO 925mb 18 UTC Centreville Atlanta plume Birmingham plume

  8. DC-8 Extinction CO US Anthro CO Fires Isoprene Q_CLOUD

  9. North American Monsoon Age of WRF PBL tracer at 12 km Total CO 150mb 18 UTC WRF-Chem > 36 hours old < 18 hours old > 90 ppb CO Age of WRF Stratosphere tracer at 12 km NASA/GMAO – GEOS5

  10. ER2 Extinction CO US Anthro CO Fires CO total Q_CLOUD

  11. Summary • Urban plumes are south of cities • High isoprene seen throughout region except over Mingo Aeronet site • Likely smoke streamer near TN-AL border • PBL air in upper troposphere over east Texas
