The workshop was held in Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto from the 7th to the 9th of January 2009. A group photograph from the workshop can be seen here.
Themes
The Arctic Intensive Ozonesonde Network Study (ARC-IONS)
took place in two phases between 1-21 April 2008, and 26 June - 12 July
2008, launching ozonesondes from 19 locations across North America.
This campaign followed on from two prior ozonesonde network studies: IONS-04 (March - September 2004); and IONS-06 (March - September 2006).
The themes of ARC-IONS and the proposed themes of the data workshop are:
evaluation of the role of stratosphere/troposphere exchange (STE) in the spring buildup of tropospheric ozone;
studies of boundary layer ozone depletions resulting from halogens released from sea salt deposited on Arctic sea ice;
the contribution to the tropospheric ozone budget from boreal forest fires and the extent of fire emission influence;
validation of Aura (TES, OMI) at high latitudes; of AQ models for ozone & STE, and of forest fire models.
