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.
Information During the Campaign
- CalNex-LA blog
- Data from the Atlantis Ship
- Meetings while in the field (password protected, campaign participants-ONLY)
- Plots of modeled and measured data, most recent versions as updated during the campaign (password protected, campaign participants-ONLY)
- Aerosol Species: Inorganic and Organic (last posted May 29 2010)
- Aerosol Species: BC, other, optical (last posted May 29 2010)
- Met data: Temp, RH, radiation, photolysis (last posted May 29 2010)
- Met data: Wind, PBL, ceilometer (last posted May 29 2010)
- Gas Species: O3, SO2, CO, CO2 (last posted May 29 2010)
- Gas Species: NOx, HNO3, NH3 (last posted May 29 2010)
- Gas Species: HONO, Radicals (last posted May 29 2010)
- Gas Species: Aromatics, Isoprene, Fomaldehyde (last posted May 29 2010)
Model Results for the CalNex-LA Site
- Daily Meteorological Forecast from UCLA.
- Wildfire information:
- Stu McKeen of NOAA will be analyzing several 3D forecast models during CalNex. He can export whichever output we request (assuming it is in the model) and provide it online, so that it can be compared with the measurements in near real time. See updated model forecasts collected by NOAA.
- Other models that will or may be running the CalNex-LA period and location include:
- Qinbin Lee and Dan Chen at UCLA
- Jerome Fast of PNNL (not during CalNex but afterwards)
- Gabi Pfister of NCAR
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)
