The Campaign

The Ozone Water-Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS) was a project aimed at evaluating air quality in and around the Chesapeake Bay area during the summers of 2017 and 2018. OWLETS had two deployments. The first deployment was led by NASA in 2017 and involved airborne measurements taken by NASA’s C-23 Sherpa aircraft, along with measurements collected by several mobile platforms and field sites. The second deployment, known as OWLETS-2, was led by the Maryland Department of the Environment in 2018 and used the University of Maryland’s Cessna aircraft for airborne measurements, along with mobile and field site instrumentation. Both deployments focused on creating vertical profiles of ozone and other trace gases during various air quality events to enhance forecasting of similar events in the future.
