Tropospheric ozone seasonal and long-term variability as seen by lidar and surface measurements at the JPL-Table Mountain Facility, California

Data sets

TMO lidar data at NDACC database T. Leblanc ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ndacc/station/tmo/ames/lidar/

Short summary

Tropospheric ozone DIAL measurements between 2000 and 2015 and surface ozone data from 2013 to 2015 measured at JPL Table Mountain Facility are presented for the first time. Tropospheric ozone variability and trends in the southwestern USA are analyzed observing an increasing ozone trend in the upper troposphere. The influence of the origin of air masses arriving at JPL-TMF and tropopause folds above the site on ozone vertical structure and variability are also observed.
