Figure 1. Map of Lower Fraser Valley (LFV) east of Vancouver showing mountains/valleys to the north. Winds were documented by ETL's Doppler lidar (located at L) and surface anemometer at the Harris Road site (H), which also was the site of the chemistry measurements. Circle indicates 10-km range ring around the lidar, and line indicates direction of north-northeasterly (NNE) scans toward Pitt Lake valley.
