UK Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (UK SOLAS)
Project 18
The chemical structure of the lowermost atmosphere
Principal Investigator — Alastair Lewis
Objectives
- To investigate the chemical structure of the lowermost atmosphere in remote marine boundary layer regions with high ocean productivity
- To quantify chemical gradients induced at the interfacial region
Activities
Fieldwork activities have included participation in the UK SOLAS RHaMBLe cruise (D319), and concurrent aircraft surveys. Resulting data have included:
- Trace gases such as ozone, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, halocarbons, and volatile organic compounds
- Fine aerosol particles
