Abstract Aircraft tracer measurements all made within 300 km of the release sites during, the Across North America Experiment (ANATEX) provided 30 separate trials to evaluate the error of back-trajectory calculations. The trajectory calculations used dynamic-model-output meteorological data from the NOAA prognostic Nested Grid Model (NGM) and from comparable gridded meteorological fields from 4-day rawinsonde or 2-day rawinsonde observations. Over all trials, no significant difference was discernable in trajectory accuracy using the different meteorological input data; absolute trajectory error ranged from 20% to 30% of the travel distance. When the trajectories were grouped into similar categories, the NGM data provided the but results when smaller-scale flow features were present; ones that could not be resolved in the rawinsonde network. Four-day rawinsonde data provided the best results when fronts or low pressure systems were present in the vicinity of the tracer release. Slower transport in more hom...
