Objectives
Provide measurements of trace gas and aerosol emissions for wildfires and prescribed fires in great detail
Relate emissions to fuel and fire conditions at the point of emission
Follow plumes downwind to understand chemical transformation and air quality impacts

Caltech CToF and Triple Quad on DC8. Too many wires...
A CToF MS is mounted to the window, which shortens the sampling inlet and minimizes the loss of sticky compounds, such as HNO3.
