The Baylor Piper Aztec will fly for 50 hours in support of the SHARP campaign. It will deploy a base set of chemical and physical sensors to detect ozone (O3), reactive nitrogen compounds (NO, NO2, and NOy), carbon monoxide (CO), alkenes (RAD instrument), formaldehyde (HCHO), particle number density sized from 0.5-10 mm (particle spectrometer), and integrated particle scattering (3-l nephelometer). The instrumentation package will also include up and downward facing j(NO2) filter radiometers, VOC canister grab samples, and meteorological instruments to measure wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, pressure, and GPS location. The research objectives that will be addressed include characterization of HCHO emissions from point and area sources and support of surface-based and remote sensing measurements during SHARP through measurement of the aloft concentrations of primary and secondary pollutants.
