Alkyl nitrate and selected halocarbon measurements at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii. Atlas, E., Schauffler, S., M., Merrill, J., T., Hahn, C., J., Ridley, B., Walega, J., Greenberg, J., Heidt, L., & Zimmerman, P. Journal of Geophysical Research, 97(D10):10331-10348, 1992.

Measurements of >or=C/sub 3/ alkyl nitrates, perchlorethylene, and bromoform were made during the Mauna Loa Observatory Photochemistry Experiment (MLOPEX). The median mixing ratios of these compounds in free tropospheric air (3.4 km) were 2.3, 3.2, and 0.20 pptv, respectively. A diurnal variation in the concentration of these compound at Mauna Loa was driven by the local upslope/downslope circulation and by differences in the concentration of these species between the boundary layer and the free troposphere. Longer term variation was closely related to synoptic-scale circulation of the North Pacific and to differences in the sources of air masses reaching Hawaii.
