These data are also important constraints for global chemical models. The photochemical environment over the North Atlantic during the summer of 1992 was found to result in the destruction of ozone while encountering plumes of polluted air from the European and American continents, as well as during clean air episodes.
H O is a significant component of reactions significant to ozone production and destruction.
Chemical and aerosol results are currently being prepared for additional publications. The cruise track was designed to study the South Atlantic while biomass burning is at a minimum, as well as the Indian Ocean prior to monsoon development. Ozone has been measured beginning with departure from Miami in February and continuing for all legs of the cruise. Carsey, T. P. , M. L. Farmer , V. Ross III , M. Springer-Young, and M. Zetwo .
