Funded Activity Summary

Global Influence of Intraseasonal Variability in Ozonesonde Profiles. This proposal aims to better understand how tropical intraseasonal variability (periods of 40 to 60 days) influences the chemical components of the global atmosphere. The results of the research aim to improve regional air-quality forecasts on weekly and monthly timescales. The highly vertically resolved ozone concentrations from the surface up to 20 kilometres, measured by balloon-borne instruments called ozonesondes, will be used as a dynamical tracer. The knowledge gained from the ozonesonde data will be used to elucidate the chemical origins of the tropical variability related to biomass burning activities and convective lightning, as well as the subtropical variability related to the polar vortex dynamics.
