Western North American FLEXPART Back Trajectory 2010 Data

This product retains detailed information for each receptor, including the gridded ozone value product, allowing the user to illustrate and identify source contributions to various subsets of ozone observations in the troposphere above WNA over nearly 3 decades at different vertical layers and temporal scales, such as diurnal, daily, seasonal, intra-annual, and decadal. This model product can also support source contribution analyses for other atmospheric components observed over WNA, if other co-located observations have been made at the spatial and temporal scales defined for some or all of the gridded ozone receptors used here.

These data products were generated with support from NASA’s Atmospheric Composition Campaign Data Analysis and Modeling program and the NASA High-End Computing (HEC) Program through the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center (award SMD-20-28429430). The critical role of in situ measurements collected by many individual research teams, as well as contributions in model development and intermediate analyses, is gratefully acknowledged.
