Experiments are reported that were conducted during a major study of long range O/sub 3/ transport in urban plumes and high pressure weather systems. The focus of the study was to determine whether smaller cities contribute measurably to downwind O/sub 3/ concentrations, and to investigate the issue, an instrumented aircraft was used to perform upwind and downwind traverses in the vicinity of a large and a small city on several different days. It was concluded that under conditions conducive to photochemical O/sub 3/ formation, emissions from moderate size cities (populations of approximately 100,000) lead to a definable O/sub 3/ plume and can contribute measureably to the downwind O/sub 3/ burden.
