AB: The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer on the EOS Aura satellite provides global measurements of vertically resolved ozone. During the summer of 2006, an observation campaign was conducted by TES to make 25,000 profile measurements over North America and the Atlantic. This dataset is used with the FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model to explore the features of upper tropospheric ozone over North America, to study the influence of long-range transport and in-situ ozone formation, and to compare to similar analysis that have utilized summer ozonesonde data. Specifically, this presentation will focus analysis of the ozone over the southeastern US during August 2006, and compare the analysis using TES measurements to the conclusions reached with the IONS ozonesondes.
