Short summary
In this study we describe new techniques to derive age of air from multiple simultaneous measurements of long-lived trace gases in order to improve the fidelity of the age-of-air estimates and to be able to compare age of air from measurements taken from different instruments, platforms and decades.  This technique also allows new transport information to be obtained from the measurements such as the primary source latitude that can also be compared to models.
