• Description:
  We compared 16 selected chemical and meteorological parameters from the NOAA Ship <em>Mt. Mitchell</em> and the NOAA King Air research aircraft during the GCE/CASE/WATOX experiment. The aircraft made eight research flights during July 1988 in coordination with the ship. The first four were off the U.S. east coast near Newport News, Virginia and the last four were near the island of Bermuda. We used only the low altitude portions of the aircraft flights in our ship to aircraft intercomparisons. Generally, the aircraft and shipboard measurements were within expected accuracy limits. Selected exceptions for individual species and days are noted and discussed in the text.
