Description

Gordon conference - Atmospheric Chemistry. Big Sky, Montana, September 4-9 2005. Pico Mountain in the Azores Islands provides an ideal location for studies of the central N. Atlantic lower free troposphere. The PICO-NARE station has operated there since summer 2001. Here, we present key findings from summertime measurements, during 2001-2004. Main Findings: Anthropogenic and boreal wildfire emissions dominate variations in CO and have major impacts on O3, nitrogen oxides, non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and black carbon.
