New archive of coastal meteorological and air pollutant measurements
A new data archive, recently made available to interested researchers, provide users with data suitable for evaluating air pollution models. Included in the archive are low-level wind, temperature, humidity, and air pollutant measurements from the South Central Coast Cooperative Aerometric Monitoring Program (SCCCAMP). SCCCAMP was a major study of coastal meteorology and air pollutants in an area of Southern California encompassing the Santa Barbara and Ventura regions and the Santa Barbara Channel. The objectives were to investigate the physical mechanisms that occasionally create excessive concentrations of photochemical oxidant at ground level and to provide a comprehensive set of measurements for the development and evaluation of mesoscale photochemical simulation models. The Western Oil and Gas Association and the US Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service funded the project.
