Figure 2. Blimp flight on September 6, 1973, originating in Torrance at 1:15 p.m. (PDT). Solid path is the Lagrangian-like section; dashed path is the return to Torrance ending at 6:30 p.m. For additional details, including duration times, see Figure S2 (Hidy et al. Citation1974).

Figure 3. Lagrangian-like trajectory observations from the blimp afternoon flight, September 6, 1973. Time series begins at 1:15 p.m. (PDT) at Torrance and ends there at 6:30 p.m. Tabulated data for the experiment are listed in the supplementary material (particle light scattering coefficient is bsc).
