abstract = {This study presents an analysis of both MOZAIC profiles
above Frankfurt and Lagrangian dispersion model simulations
for the 2003 European heat wave. The comparison of MOZAIC
measurements in summer 2003 with the 11-year MOZAIC
climatology reflects strong temperature anomalies (exceeding
4 degrees C) throughout the lower troposphere. Higher
positive anomalies of temperature and negative anomalies of
both wind speed and relative humidity are found for the
period defined here as the heat wave (2-14 August 2003),
compared to the periods before (16-31 July 2003) and after
(16-31 August 2003) the heat wave. In addition, Lagrangian
model simulations in backward mode indicate the suppressed
long- range transport in the mid- to lower troposphere and
the enhanced southern origin of air masses for all
tropospheric levels during the heat wave. Ozone and carbon
monoxide also present strong anomalies (both similar to+ 40
ppbv) during the heat wave, with a maximum vertical
extension reaching 6 km altitude around 11 August 2003.
Pollution in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is enhanced
during the day, with ozone mixing ratios two times higher
than climatological values. This is due to a combination of
factors, such as high temperature and radiation, stagnation
of air masses and weak dry deposition, which favour the
accumulation of ozone precursors and the build-up of ozone.
A negligible role of a stratospheric- origin ozone tracer
has been found for the lower troposphere in this study. From
29 July to 15 August 2003 forest fires burnt around 0.3 x
10(6) ha in Portugal and added to atmospheric pollution in
Europe. Layers with enhanced CO and NOy mixing ratios,
advected from Portugal, were crossed by the MOZAIC aircraft
in the free troposphere over Frankfurt. A series of forward
and backward Lagrangian model simulations have been
performed to investigate the origin of anomalies during the
whole heat wave. European anthropogenic emissions present
the strongest contribution to the measured CO levels in the
lower troposphere (near $30\%).$ This source is followed by
Portuguese forest fires which affect the lower troposphere
after 6 August 2003 and even the PBL around 10 August 2003.
The averaged biomass burning contribution reaches $35\%$
during the affected period. Anthropogenic CO of North
American origin only marginally influences CO levels over
Europe during that period.},
