Trinidad Head Ground Site
The view of Trinidad Head, California from the town of Trinidad, California.
Trinidad Head, California was the site of extensive ground based and some balloon-borne measurements during April - May, 2002. This ground site component of the ITCT 2002 project was intended to:
- characterize chemical composition of marine boundary layer at the U.S. West Coast.
- provide linkage between composition measurements and radiative properties of the aerosols.
- provide intercomparison opportunities, both between co-located surface instruments and between surface and aircraft instruments during aircraft flybys.
