The project will develop a climatology of reactive nitrogen compounds in the lower free troposphere at the Pico Observatory in the Azores. The study is designed to address the need for measurement-based constraints on levels of nitrogen oxides in the remote free troposphere by providing approximately two years of nearly continuous measurements at 2200 m altitude over the North Atlantic Ocean. The data will be used to improve understanding of reactive nitrogen chemistry over the ocean environment, for comparison with models, and to look at the transport of continental emissions over the Atlantic Ocean.

该项目将在亚速尔群岛的PICO天文台下较低的对流层中的反应性氮化合物的气候发展。 该研究旨在解决对远程自由对流层氮氧化物水平的基于测量的限制，通过在北大西洋的2200 m高度上提供大约两年的接近连续测量。 数据将用于提高对海洋环境中反应性氮化学的理解，与模型进行比较，并查看大西洋上的大陆排放量的运输。
