Description:
Project MISTT (Midwest Interstate Sulfur Transformation and Transport) was an EPA-sponsored research program of field measurements and data analyses carried out in the mid-seventies in the St. Louis region. The objective was to investigate quantitatively the dynamics and kinetics of sulfur compounds in the plumes of large power plants and of the St. Louis urban complex during their mesoscale transport. Major field programs were carried out in the summers of 1975 and 1976, involving the participation of about a dozen organizations from around the country. The main approach was to make detailed three dimensional measurements, both chemical and meteorological, primarily from instrumented airborne platforms, and including support from ground platforms. The report consists of three parts: Part I describes the platforms and the measurements; Part II gives a complete description and documentation of the General Distribution Data Base archived on magnetic tapes; and Part III is an unpublished Appendix providing a summary of each daily mission of the primary sampling aircraft for each of the two summer measurement periods.
