abstract = {As a contribution to the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere
Experiment in Amazonia - Cooperative LBA Airborne Regional
Experiment (LBA-CLAIRE-2001) field campaign in the heart of
the Amazon Basin, we analyzed the temporal and spatial
dynamics of the urban plume of Manaus City during the
wet-to-dry season transition period in July 2001. During the
flights, we performed vertical stacks of crosswind transects
in the urban outflow downwind of Manaus City, measuring a
comprehensive set of trace constituents including O-3, NO,
NO2, CO, VOC, CO2, and H2O. Aerosol loads were characterized
by concentrations of total aerosol number (CN) and cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN), and by light scattering
properties. Measurements over pristine rainforest areas
during the campaign showed low levels of pollution from
biomass burning or industrial emissions, representative of
wet season background conditions. The urban plume of Manaus
City was found to be joined by plumes from power plants
south of the city, all showing evidence of very strong
photochemical ozone formation. One episode is discussed in
detail, where a threefold increase in ozone mixing ratios
within the atmospheric boundary layer occurred within a 100
km travel distance downwind of Manaus. Observation-based
estimates of the ozone production rates in the plume reached
15 ppb h(-1).Within the plume core, aerosol concentrations
were strongly enhanced, with Delta CN/Delta CO ratios about
one order of magnitude higher than observed in Amazon
biomass burning plumes. Delta CN/Delta CO ratios tended to
decrease with increasing transport time, indicative of a
significant reduction in particle number by coagulation, and
without substantial new particle nucleation occurring within
the time/space observed. While in the background atmosphere
a large fraction of the total particle number served as CCN
(about $60-80\%$ at $0.6\%$ supersaturation), the CCN/CN
ratios within the plume indicated that only a small fraction
(16 +/- 12 $\%)$ of the plume particles were CCN. The fresh
plume aerosols showed relatively weak light scattering
efficiency. The CO-normalized CCN concentrations and light
scattering coefficients increased with plume age in most
cases, suggesting particle growth by condensation of soluble
organic or inorganic species.We used a Single Column
Chemistry and Transport Model (SCM) to infer the urban
pollution emission fluxes of Manaus City, implying observed
mixing ratios of CO, NOx and VOC. The model can reproduce
the temporal/spatial distribution of ozone enhancements in
the Manaus plume, both with and without accounting for the
distinct (high NOx) contribution by the power plants; this
way examining the sensitivity of ozone production to changes
in the emission rates of NOx. The VOC reactivity in the
Manaus region was dominated by a high burden of biogenic
isoprene from the background rainforest atmosphere, and
therefore NOx control is assumed to be the most effective
ozone abatement strategy. Both observations and models show
that the agglomeration of NOx emission sources, like power
plants, in a well-arranged area can decrease the ozone
production efficiency in the near field of the urban
populated cores. But on the other hand remote areas downwind
of the city then bear the brunt, being exposed to increased
ozone production and N-deposition. The simulated maximum
stomatal ozone uptake fluxes were 4 nmol m(-2) s(-1) close
to Manaus, and decreased only to about 2 nmol m(-2) s(-1)
within a travel distance >1500 km downwind from Manaus,
clearly exceeding the critical threshold level for broadleaf
trees. Likewise, the simulated N deposition close to Manaus
was similar to 70 kg N ha(-1) a(-1) decreasing only to about
30 kg N ha(-1) a(-1) after three days of simulation.},
