INTEX-B HawaiiDuring April 2006 I forecasted atmospheric pollution for the NASA DC-8 flying laboratory in order to sample Asian pollution in the vicinity of Hawaii. We flew 3 sorties to the north of the islands and intercepted both fresh and aged pollution. On several flights we either resampled air we had previously measured or sampled air that would later reach the Pacific Northwest, where the NSF NCAR airplane would resample it. Aging experiments like this are difficult to coordinate, but provide valuable information about the chemical aging processeses of pollution.
