Impacts of Anthropogenic and Boreal Forest Fire Emissions in the Central North Atlantic Lower Free Troposphere: Summertime Observations at the PICO-NARE Observatory

The PICO-NARE station is located in the Azores Islands, Por-tugal (2225 m asl), which is an ideal location for sampling North American pollution, forest fire emissions, and clean marine background air [Fig. 1]. Free Tropospheric Air Sampling? The station altitude is well into the FT in all seasons [...

Description
Summary:The PICO-NARE station is located in the Azores Islands, Por-tugal (2225 m asl), which is an ideal location for sampling North American pollution, forest fire emissions, and clean marine background air [Fig. 1]. Free Tropospheric Air Sampling? The station altitude is well into the FT in all seasons [Figs. 2-3]. However, marine boundary layer (MBL) air occasionally reaches the station due to daytime buoyant uplift (periods of weak winds) and mechanically driven uplift [1] (periods of strong winds) [Figs. 3-4].
