Purpose of this Page
This page is a repository of scientific information and links for the field experiment at the Los Angeles CalNex Supersite (*) as part of the CalNex-2010 field campaign. The focus of the campaign is to study nightime chemistry (led by Jochen Stutz of UCLA) and formation of secondary organic aerosol (led by Joost de Gouw of NOAA and Jose-Luis Jimenez of CU-Boulder). Prospective investigators who are interested in participating in this study should contact these PIs.
(*) Not to be confused with the Southern CA EPA Supersite which is headed by Costas Sioutas and located elsewhere.
There is no specific call for proposals for CalNex-LA. NOAA investigators will be funded by internal NOAA funds, while university investigators need to find relevant funding. CARB and NOAA are funding a limited number of external investigators.
Logistics
All logistical information is centralized on the CalNex-LA Logistics Page.

Model Results for the CalNex-LA Site
- Daily Meteorological Forecast from UCLA.
- Wildfire information:
- Model Forecasts during the Campaign:
- CalNex 4-model and ensemble forecasts, provided by Stu McKeen of NOAA
- CARES forecasts from Jerome Fast (include Sourthern CA)
- Other models that will or may be running the CalNex-LA period and location include:
- Qinbin Lee and Dan Chen at UCLA (WRF/Chem)
- Gabi Pfister of NCAR (WRF/Chem)
This is the time to request your favorite variables and we'll request them from Stu. So far we are planning to request:
- Meteorology: T, RH, pressure, wind speed and direction, visible and UV radiation, precipitation
- Gas-phase: CO, CO2, SO2, O3, NO, NO2, HONO, NH3, HNO3, VOCs (benzene, toluene, isoprene, terpenes, CH2O, glyoxal, acetaldehyde, methanol, acetone, etc. as available in models)
- Particle-phase: (in each of PM1, PM2.5, PM10): total number, total mass, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, black carbon, organic aerosol, POA, SOA, crustal material, sea salt, metals. Also size distributions (if available in models)
- Both phases: total carbon (to compare to observed TOOC)
- PAN, MPAN, PPN, ClNO2 (Hans Osthoff)
