Abstract
We have made in-flight determinations of SO2 in clouds, the cloud-free boundary layer, and the free troposphere in a wintertime marine environment . The salient feature of the SO2 vertical distribution was the consistently low SO2 levels (0.14 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) mean; 0.065 ppbv median) in the free troposphere compared to the boundary/mixed layers (1.83 ppbv mean; 1.02 ppbv median). In some instances SO2 in the clouds that capped the boundary layer was as high as in the air below the clouds. The estimated SO2 fluxes were 2.1 Tg S-1 for the boundary layer, 0.21 Tg S yr-1 for the free troposphere between 850 and 700 hPa, 0.36 Tg S yr-1 for the free troposphere between 700 and 500 hPa
