Curtain plot for production of ozone from the ATom-1 campaign in the Atlantic. The 10 s air parcels are averaged into 10-degree latitude and 200 m altitude bins. Reactivities, such as P-O3, are calculated for each 10 s air parcel from the Modeling Data Stream (MDS), Version 2, using the UC Irvine chemistry-transport model (CTM) with HNO4 and PAN damped by thermal decomposition.

Body
Modeling Data Stream (MDS) and Reactivity Data Stream (RDS) products for each of the four ATom campaigns conducted from 2016 to 2018.
