His poster, entitled "Effect of Stratospheric Intrusions on Tropospheric Ozone and Air Quality", demonstrated the combined use of aircraft, ozonesonde, and satellite-retrieved profiles for locating stratospheric intrusions during the DISCOVER-AQ Maryland (2011) deployment. At the Edgewood-Maryland site, Zach found 4 days where stratospheric intrusions enhanced tropospheric ozone; however, surface air quality conditions were not effected on those days.
This project was mentored by Dr. Anne Thompson (GSFC) and Lesley Ott (GMAO). Zach plans to continue this work looking toward other campaign deployments like the current DISCOVER-AQ Colorado 2014 field study.
