California’s Unique Challenges
• Limited data to check the global models which provide our boundary conditions
• SJV and SoCAB are not high elevation which complicates modeling the impact of long range transported O3

Objectives of CABOTS
• Data to better understand how well global models reproduce the content and daily variability of ozone vertical profiles as they enter the State from the Pacific.
• Understand to what extent does trans-Pacific long-range transported ozone mix down to surface sites in the SJV and what is the impact.

Key ARB Funded Projects • Improved Understanding of the Magnitude of Trans-Pacific
Long Range Transported Ozone Aloft at California’s Coast – PI: Dr. Sen Chiao of the San Jose State University (SJSU) – This project funds ozonesonde launches from the UCD Bodega
Marine Laboratory once a day for about 3 months during the spring and summer of 2016.
• Lidar Profiling of Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley
– PIs: Drs. Andrew O. Langford and Christoph J. Senff of NOAA – This project will use a surface based ozone lidar to provide
quasi-continuous ozone profiles up to 2 – 3 km above ground level in the SJV (Visalia Airport) for 3 weeks each in the spring (“transport season”) and summer (ozone season) of 2016.

SJSU Ozonesondes
• Near daily ozonesondes mid-May – mid Aug.
• Team trained at NOAA • Data available within
hours for planning lidar operations
• Products: • Data to validate ARB’s
modeled boundary conditions
• Link ozone aloft the next day at the lidar site
