The National Haze Program was enacted to address concerns about the effects of atmospheric pollutants on the visibility of National Parks and Wilderness Areas. Many of these designated areas are located in coastal zones, and are therefore under Minerals Management Service oversight. In the northern Gulf of Mexico, there are many energy production platforms in operation, which are supported daily by both marine vessels and airborne transports. Emissions from these stationary and transient sources, combined with natural emissions from the marine environment (such as sea salts) could potentially degrade the visibility over coastal park areas. Under certain conditions, land-based emissions could also impact these areas. This study was designed to monitor offshore visibility and to investigate the atmospheric boundary layer characteristics associated with impaired visibility events.
