G.: Secondary ozone maxima in a very stable nocturnal boundary layer: observations from the Lower Fraser Valley BC, Atmos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The relationship between near-surface ozone concentration and the structure of the nocturnal boundary layer was investigated during a field campaign conducted in 1998 in the Lower Fraser Valley (LFV), British Columbia Canada. Despite the spatial and temporal variation in frequency and morphology, secondary nocturnal ozone maxima were shown to be an important feature of the diurnal ozone cycle throughout the LFV, and localised increases in ozone occasionally exceeded more than half the previous day’s maximum concentration. Turbulence in the nocturnal boundary layer was shown to be weak and intermittent. Vertical profiles of Richardson number and ozone concentration indicated that the temporary turbulent coupling of the residual layer to the surface layer facilitated the transport of ozone stored aloft to the surface. Despite the overall complexity of the system, results show that seven out of the 19 ozone spikes observed at the Aldergrove site coincided with turbulence associated with the development of the down-valley wind system. A further nine spikes occurred during periods when a low-level jet was identified aloft. Significantly, ozone concentrations were shown to be highly variable in the residual layer and played an important role in determining the morphology of secondary ozone maxima at the surface. Largest increases in surface ozone concentration occurred when turbulence coincided with periods when ozone concentrations in excess of 80 ppb were observed aloft.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
