Influence of vertical transport on free tropospheric aerosols over the central USA in springtime. Talbot, R., W., Dibb, J., E., & Loomis, M., B. Geophysical Research Letters, 25(9):1367-1370, 1998. abstract bibtex Measurements of the atmospheric aerosol chemical composition during the Subsonic Aircraft: Contrail and Cloud Effects Special Study (SUCCESS) indicate substantial vertical transport of boundary layer aerosol to the free troposphere over the south-central United States during springtime. Mixing ratios of water-soluble aerosol Ca/sup 2+/ at 6-12 km altitude exhibited a median mixing ratio of 20 pptv, with 15% of the measurements >or=100 pptv and a maximum of 1235 pptv. In air parcels with enhanced Ca/sup 2+/, the ratios K/sup +//Ca/sup 2+/, Mg/sup 2+//Ca/sup 2+/ and Na/sup +//Ca/sup 2+/ in the bulk aerosol were distinctly characteristic of those in limestone and/or cement. Significantly enhanced mixing ratios of aerosol SO/sub 4//sup 2-/, NO/sub 3//sup -/ and NH/sub 4//sup +/ were also concomitant with the elevated Ca/sup 2+/, suggesting transport of both crustal and anthropogenic aerosols to the upper troposphere. The mass concentration of water-soluble aerosol material was in the range 0.1-6 mu g m/sup -3/ STP and estimated crustal dust levels were 7-160 mu g m/sup -3/ STP.
