My Group Analysis

When I worked with my group I found 3 things that I thought we did really well and 3 things I thought we did poorly.
1. Not to make me sound bossy, but I think my gorup took direction really well. I could tell them to do something and they would accomplish it.
2. Our power point was presented really well.
3. We made our calculations as acurate as possible.

1. My group got distracted easily.
2. I think we could have had a stronger work ethic.
3. My group had a problem with just wasting time, so at the last minute we were rushing to get things done because we wasted so much time.

Aerosols

Aerosols are a big part of our ozone. Aerosols are any particles that are suspended in the air. Although the aerosols themselves do not effect the ozone it is the gas inside the aerosol cans that effect the ozone. This gas is called CFC: chloral floral carbon.  This gas has a dangerous effect on our ozone layer. This gas is illegal to use for a propellant and it is illegal to put into the air.

Aerosols should be studied because they are emmitted into our atmosphere and effect our planet. Studying this concept will provide new ideas to solve the issue of our deteriorating ozone. Aerosols effect the amount of rain fall. So if aerosols are studied scientists can learn more about the water cycle. Not only will this study shed some light on the water cycle but also the track the effects of dust storms, volcanic eruptions and pollution across the world.

Why Should Surface Ozone be Studied?

Surface Ozone should be studied for a few reasons. First surface ozone is an issue. What is surface ozone? Ozone occurs naturally in the atmosphere. The stratosphere blocks Ultra Violet rays and the tropospheric ozone is a major part of smog. Smog damages plants, animals, and people. 
Tropospheric ozone is a major part of smog, damages plants, animals, and people.
Ozone is formed from UV reacting with NO2 from natural sources. It can be harmful to the environment. Ozone is made up from different levels of harmful ozone such as smog. In places like LA, smog is very prominent because the there isn't a natural breeze to carry all of the pollutants away. At certain levels of this toxicity, it may become lethal to humans.  The ozone is depleted from free radical catalysts such as, NO, OH, Cl and Br. The ozone can conflict with the plants ability to soak up Carbon Dioxide. This means that if the plants cant soak up the Carbon Dioxide, the gas will remain in the air and contribute to the global warming.

Secondly, we can research this subject we may be able to find ways to correct the problem. In the 70's refridgerators contained CFC's which are very harmful to the ozone.  Know one knew that CFC's were harmful to the ozone and now we know that. We know that through research. If we study this concept further we can know exactly how much ozone is in the atmosphere and know how much of a problem it really is. If we know how bad the problem is, we can know its progress and seek ways to correct this issue.

Transect Procedure

1. Mark off transect area of 100 square meters.
2. Measure circumference of a tree in section.
3. Identify the tree.
4. Calculate top and bottom slope, using a clinometer.
5. Calculate tree value using board feet calculations.
6. Use Arc GIS Software to estimate the amount of land on the HHS campus.
7. Calculate the value of the campus using the timber value from all the transects.
