Surface ozone* ranged from about 50 to 63 ppbv, with little diurnal variation. The PILOT fire (~8100 acres, 96% contained) was burning near Silverwood Lake, 40 km east of TMF. TOPAZ observed a layer with ozone concentrations ranging from about 65 to 75 ppbv between 2 and 4-5 km AGL. Above that was a very clean layer (generally 20 - 40 ppbv of ozone) that extended to 9 km AGL.
