Abstract
Emissions from distant source areas are often imagined to provide a steady
background to the emissions of whatever local sources are being studied. As
part of Project MOHAVE in summer 1992, several air mass markers and an inj
ected stack tracer were measured hourly near the Grand Canyon. Observed haz
e events generally coincided with transients in methylchloroform and water
vapor, which we interpret as endemic tags for air from southern California
and the subtropics. The results depict a dynamic regional background.
