Plan for 05/04/10

Flight Plan for Tuesday, 4 May 2010

Across the Los Angeles basin to examine the spatial distribution, chemical evolution and transport of pollutants

Default climb rate 1000-1500 ft/minDefault altitude in Planetary Boundary Layer 1000 – 1500 ft AGL

Access to plane: 7:00 PDTPt. 0 : Ontario (KONT)Takeoff: : 10:00 PDT

Pt. 1-Pt. 2, Vertical profiles near San Nicolas and Catalina IslandsIf marine stratocumulus clouds are present dedicate one hour for cloud moduleIf there are no appropriate clouds, ship plume study (flight scientist calls)

Pt. 3 – Pt. 8 focus on the vertical distribution of pollutants (fresh emissions down low, residual pollution from previous days aloft) by missed approaches, spiral and ladder profilesLadder profiles: 3 min constant altitude legs at altitudes from 1000 ft to 13000 ft between San Bernardino and Fontana, as well as, Azusa and Pasadena. (altitude change by spiral ascent/descent at end points)

Pt. 9 – Pt. 11 Look for signs of the upward transport of pollutants from the LA basin to the crest of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains

Pt. 16 – Pt. 18 emission characterization in Perris Valley (skydiving activity)

Pt. 19 – Pt. 23 Transport to the high desert, (including profile NW of Joshua Tree National Park)

Return to Ontario (KONT) airport, estimated time 6hrs
