                                  Example Aerosol, Ozone, and Water Vapor Images

Transport and Atmospheric Chemistry near the Equator - Atlantic (TRACE-A)

Collage of imagery showing biomass burning in Africa, as observed visually from the NASA DC-8 aircraft and 

from space by AVHRR satellite, investigated during TRACE-A. ( Biomass Burning )



Flight 13: Nadir data showing plume from biomass burning and low-level cloud

and enhanced photochemically produced O3 across the troposphere.
