Flight 8 - Acetone Evidence for long-range atmospheric transport of continental pollutants General feature during AOE-2001: Enhanced acetone VMRs above the Arctic BL Helicopter profile: 27.07.2001 (DOY 208) Balloon profile: 12.08.2001 (DOY 224)
Enhanced acetone Evidence for long-range atmospheric transport of continental pollutants General feature in vertical profiles: Increase of: acetone acetonitrile OPC particle concentration with altitude
Flight 12 - Acetone Evidence for long-range atmospheric transport of continental pollutants Biomass burning plume possibly related to ongoing forest fires in Siberia General feature in vertical profiles: Increase of acetone, acetonitrile and OPC particle concentration with altitude
