The objective of this project is to support the TexAQS II field experiment with a selected ground-based supersite which will bring together a broad suite of instrumentation to collect a comprehensive data set which will allow to elucidate fast radical chemistry occurring occurring under high pollution events typical for the HGA. Our study will be accomplished by an analysis of radical sources and sinks (and production and loss rates) as identified by a steady-state time dependant photochemical box model.
This project will provide continuous observations of mixing layer depth during the Texas Air Quality Study II campaign using a ground-based micropulsed lidar (MPL). This critical parameter will be measured in two planes, one along the Moody Tower – Williams Tower and another along Moody Tower – downtown Houston, thus providing two separate 2-D “walls” of the daytime and nighttime urban boundary layer height and aerosol optical depths. The observations from these measurements will be made available to all participants of the 2006 campaign, including the air quality modelers who need to validate urban boundary layer heights which are known to be a critical parameter for many components of their modeling. It will also serve the scientific interests of a number of TRAMP (TexAQS II Radical Measurement Project) investigators, including those who are investigating nocturnal mixing and the role of this process on nighttime chemistry.
