  3. Balloons measuring air quality This story was published Wednesday, May 10th, 2006 By Anna King, Herald staff writer Air pollution in China, Korea or Japan might seem like a far-off problem. But for Brett Taubman it's measurable and real -- in the Mid-Columbia. For about a month, the Penn State scientist has been working … Tuesday afternoon, Taubman deployed a large weather balloon, shot a green laser into the air above his trailer and scheduled a four-engine C-130 cargo plane to fly a spiral above Richland and collect air for his tests.

  5. IMPEX C-130 flights / comparisons

  6. Example of the data smorgasbord: flight – 11 May 2006 (DOY 131) CO / O3 increases as a function of altitude & theta. Note shift with theta.

  7. Preliminary summary: • IMPEX accomplished its main objectives. • Many interesting observations to pursue • Preliminary merges are complete & analyses are beginning. • Let’s see what has been learned so far …
