AB: Two unique flights of the WB57F high altitude aircraft 1-2 km below the tropical tropopause ranging from 30N to 5N at longitudes 85W and 95W in September 1999 are examined for ozone and total water variability in the context of a large suite of tracers having lifetimes ranging from 0.01 to 1000 years, together with mass spectra of individual aerosol particles. It is concluded that local correlations are predominant; contributing processes to the maintenance of the composition are marine convection, continental convection, in situ chemical production, biomass burning, downward transport from the stratosphere and recirculation.
