Ozone and Aerosols • Tropospheric ozone and aerosols (PM10 and PM2.5) are
important atmospheric constituents in low altitude pollution affecting human health and vegetation
• Ozone is photo-chemically active with nitrogen oxides – diurnal variations of photochemical smog
• Aerosols contribute to the radiative budget, tracer for pollution transport, complex mixing, visibility and cloud formation
• Improve AQ forecast and diagnostic models

Summary and Future Work
• the newly developed autonomous tropospheric ozone/3+2 aerosol lidar will add a unique capability for Environment and Climate Change Canada to explore the presence, vertical distribution and seasonal variability in the lower atmosphere
• the synergistic approach to simultaneous measure tropospheric ozone, aerosol and water vapour (night time) will provide an improved understanding of boundary layer and free tropospheric processes which impact visibility and air quality
• Interested in getting our algorithm tested against the TOLNet standard!!
