Criteria for air mass categories: Continental was based on Radon (>500 mBq/m3) concentrations measured by the PMEL group. HYSPLIT back trajectories were used to determine source of continental air masses. Wind abaft the beam determined from PMEL meteorological data. Sea sweep times were based on PMEL and Scripps filter logs. Start_Date_Time End_Date_Time Air_Mass_Category Comments 05/11/16 00:00 05/14/16 15:30 Continental Trajectories from N.
