During late July and August 1989, 12 flights of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Sabreliner jet aircraft were made over New Mexico when the region was dominated by either synoptic high pressure or moist “monsoon” flow. In the latter case, sampling was made within and about deep convective clouds which were sometimes electrically active. A summary of the measurements of the species listed in the title and their ratios are given. These distributions include signatures from deep convection, lightning production of odd nitrogen, aircraft exhaust emissions, and possible stratospheric input. The averages and range of these distributions are considered to be more representative of typical summer conditions over the region compared to flights that are often restricted more to fair weather situations. Coherence between the O3 and the NOy observations is compared to results from other ground-based and aircraft programs and possible contributing factors are discussed. Because the measurements were made with then newly developed instrumentation, its capabilities and shortcomings are summarized.
