Nitrogen Oxides in the Lower Free Troposphere of the Central North Atlantic: Measurements at the PICO-NARE Station

该项目将在亚速尔群岛的皮科观测站研究低层自由对流层中活性氮化合物的气候学。 这项研究的目的是通过在北大西洋上空2200米高度提供大约两年的几乎连续的测量，来解决对遥远的自由对流层中氮氧化物水平进行基于测量的限制的需要。 这些数据将用于提高对海洋环境中活性氮化学的理解，与模型进行比较，并研究大西洋上大陆排放物的传输。

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.
