Overview of the VOC Dataset from the NCAR Trace Organic Gas Analyzer (TOGA) obtained during the NASA ATom Mission

In 2021, the ACOM VOC Measurements Group led by PI Dr. Eric Apel, contributed to six additional peer-reviewed papers using the ATom TOGA dataset (Apel et al., 2021), bringing the total to 17 publications. TOGA VOC observations from four pole-to-pole missions in four different seasons from August 2016 through May 2018 (Figure 1), have been utilized in a variety of impactful ways. These include investigating remote tropospheric OVOC emission and photochemical formation (Wang et al., 2019; Bates et al., 2020; Brewer et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020), using anthropogenic and biomass burning VOC tracers to investigate the transport of smoke and human emissions to the remote atmosphere (Chen et al., 2020; Schill et al., 2020; Murphy et al., 2018; Bourgeois et al., 2021), understanding the chemistry of the remote troposphere (Guo et al., 2020; Thompson et al., 2021; Thames et al., 2020; Brune et al., 2019; Travis et al., 2020), and investigating oceanic emissions and the remote tropospheric chemistry of halocarbons, sulfur species, and nitrous oxide (Asher et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2019; Veres et al., 2020; Gonzalez et al, 2021).
