California Air Resources Board (CARB) News: CARB, NOAA, NASA and San Jose State University scientists team up to study ozone transported across Pacific 16 June 2016

Ozone research in San Joaquin Valley takes flight: Dozens of scientists from State and federal agencies and universities are using four different aircraft with more than 200 flight hours, balloons that measure ozone aloft, and a laser-based instrument that measures ozone above the ground up to 12,000 feet, to investigate ozone which enters California from the Pacific Ocean. The three-month research project (mid-May to mid-August 2016) will help scientists learn if ozone entering the state from the Pacific has an effect on air quality at the surface in the San Joaquin Valley.
