摘要
The NASA Pacific Exploratory Mission-West A (PEM-West A) experiment in 1991 covered large portions of the northwestern Pacific Ocean troposphere and a transect of the subtropical troposphere of the North Pacific Ocean. Sulfur dioxide consistently increased with altitude from the surface to 11 km except for a few cases of anthropogenic inputs confined to the planetary boundary layer. Using the PEM West A data set for SO2, sulfate, and calculated OH over the central Pacific Ocean: we have estimated the impacts of the SO2 on the formation of condensation nuclei and the lifetimes of SO2 and sulfate for this region.
