INTEX-NA
is an integrated atmospheric field experiment to be performed
over North America. It seeks to understand the transport
and
transformation of gases and aerosols on transcontinental/intercontinental
scales and their impact on air quality and climate. A particular
focus in this study is to quantify and characterize the inflow
and outflow of pollution over North
America. The main constituents of interest are ozone and
precursors, aerosols and precursors, and the longlived greenhouse
gases.
INTEX-NA is part of a larger international ITCT
(Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation)
initiative (http://www.al.noaa.gov/ITCT/).
INTEX-NA goals are greatly facilitated and enhanced by a
number of concurrent and coordinated
national and international field campaigns and satellite
observations. Synthesis of the ensemble of observation from
surface, airborne, and space platforms, with
the help of a hierarchy of models is an important goal of INTEX-NA.
