# Appendix C.2 Air Quality Data Used for Modeling

# 1. Air Quality Data for 2002 As part of the Visibility Improvement State a nd Tribal Association of the Southeast (VISTAS) Phase I modeling study, the VISTAS emissions and air quality modeling team of ENVIRON International Corporation, Alpine Geophysics (AG) and the University of California at Riverside (UCR) compiled ambient monitoring data for both gas and particulate species to be used in the VISTAS regional haze model performance evaluati on. UCR took the lead in this activity. The contractor’s report (found in Attach ment C.1) describes the sources of the ambient data and the steps taken in the processing and quality assuranc e (QA) of the data. In addition, the ambient data is being processed and formatted in prepar ation for use in software packages designed for the model performance evaluation. The goal was to preprocess the ambient data and present plots of ambien t data on the project website so model performance evaluations when the model simulations were completed. The ambient data are available from the follo wing 9 monitoring networ ks or databases: • EPA’s AQS (Environmental Protection Agen cy’s Air Quality System) database • PAMS (Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations) • IMPROVE (The Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visu al Environments) • SEARCH (Southeastern Aerosol Re search and Characterization) • EPA’s STN (Speciati on Trends Network) • NADP (National Atmospheric Deposition Program) • CASTNET (Clean Air Status and Trend Network) • PM Supersites • NARSTO SOS99 Aircraft data (for the July 1999 episode only) • TVA measurement network • Georgia Institute of Technology Assessmen t of Spatial Aerosol Composition in Atlanta (ASACA) monitors. Note that there is some overlap in the above monitoring networks . For example, some data from PAMS (such as ozone and nitrogen oxides) are included in the AQS database, and it appears that the STN network may also include speciated par ticulate matter data from IMPROVE and other monitoring networks. Attachment C.1 contains maps of many of the existing and planned (as of January 2002) urban and rural fine particulate matter speciation networks. The available data from the above monitoring networks for the th ree episodes of VISTAS regional haze modeling (July 9-22, 1999, July 7-28, 2001 and January 1- 21, 2002) was obtained. The attempt was made to reconcile data from the various networks and to perform a high level QA of the ambient data. The monitoring networks, the available data, and QA efforts are described in their entirety in the previously mentioned VISTAS report. Additional data used in the air quality mode ling include the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS). TOMS data is available fo r 24-hour average and is obtained from http://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/eptoms/ep.html . The TOMS data is used in the CMAQ radiation model (JPROC) to calculate photolysis rates.

## 1.1 Quality Assurance -- Overview The VISTAS Phase II emissions and air qua lity modeling team received emissions, meteorological and air quality data from other VISTAS contractors or other sources. As a first line of QA, a Gatekeeper function was defined to assure the data have been received correctly, evaluate the quality of the data, and docume nt the data received. Separate air quality, meteorological and emissions Gatekeepers have b een identified whose roles are defined below. In addition, a Data Management Gatekeeper ha s been defined who will post data, reports and results to the project website and archiv e all key data generated in the project. • Air Quality Data Gatekeeper . Obtain air quality data as appropriate for model input development and model performance evaluati on and assure quality of all air quality data obtained, consistent with approved QA pl an. This gatekeeper will also provide documentation of evaluation and generate IC/BC inputs for CMAQ for all modeling runs. • 

## Meteorological Gatekeeper . Obtain meteorologi cal data, as MM5 or MCIP files, as appropriate for annual 2002 modeling runs and other episode periods and perform data quality checks as approved in QA plan together with appropriate documentation of model performance evaluation activities. 1.2 Quality Assurance of Air Quality Data In gathering data from the monitoring networks it is assumed that the agency or researcher responsible for collecting the data performed quality assurance on the data. However, it is possible that the data sets may contain e rroneous data (i.e., missing data, zeros during calibration, unrealistic values, etc). Due to poor documentation or poor formatting of some data sets it is also possible that mist akes may be made in our processing of the data. To guard against this possibility, a plan to pe rform a high level QA by visually inspecting time-series plots and scatter plots of the ambient data was developed and is outlined as follows: Plots of Time Series Time series plots are generated for PAMS sp ecies. The plots should be inspected for the following: • Large "jumps" or "dips" in the concentrations • Periodicity of peaks, calibration carryover • Unexpected diurnal beha vior (i.e., isoprene) • Unexpected relationships among species • High single-hour concentrations of less abundant species

## Scatter Plots Scatter plots may be prepared for the following: • Total NMOC vs. species group totals, vs. individual species • Benzene vs. Toluene, Acetylene, Ethane • Scatter plots comparing data for a single species measured with different sampling methods • Plots of reconstructed mass versus measured mass (to reveals if anything unusual is happening with the chemical measurements) • Plots of molal particulate ammonium versus the molal sum of sulfate and particulate nitrate (as a sanity check on the ion bala nce in the PM chemical measurements) If data is identified that appears flawed it will be flagged and either corrected if the error is in the processing step, or removed from the data set. Further detail on the quality assu rance of air quality data modeling data can be found in the VISTAS document in Attachment C.1. Additiona l information on quality assurance procedures can be found in the QAPP, as referenced in Appendix G of the SIP.

## 1 -1 1.0 SUMMARY As part of the VISTAS Phase I modeling st udy, the VISTAS emissions and air quality modeling team of ENVIRON In ternational Corporation, Alpine Geophysics (AG) and the University of California (UC) are compil ing ambient monitoring data for both gas and particulate species to be used in the VISTAS regional haze model performance evaluation. The University of California at Riverside (UCR) is taking the lead in this activity. This report describes the sources of the ambient data and th e steps that will be used in the processing and quality assurance (QA) of the data. In additi on, the ambient data is being processed and formatted in preparation for use in software packages designed for the model performance evaluation. Our goal is to preprocess the ambient data and present plots of ambient data on the project website so that we can rapidly comp lete model performance evaluations when the model simulations are completed. As the proce ssing of ambient data are completed, plots of the data are being made available at the project website: http://pah.cert.ucr.edu/vistas/ambient.shtml . A large amount of this data is currently available at the project website, and we are continuing to de velop the website to facilitate the display of time series plots. The ambient data are available from the foll owing 9 monitoring networks or databases: • EPA’s AQS (Air Quality System) database • PAMS (Photochemical Asse ssment Monitoring Stations) • IMPROVE (The Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) • SEARCH (Southeastern Aerosol Research and Characterization) • EPA’s STN (Speciation Trends Network) • NADP (National Atmosphe ric Deposition Program) • CASTNET (Clean Air Status and Trend Network) • PM Supersites • NARSTO SOS99 Aircraft data (fo r the July 1999 episode only) • TVA measurement network • Georgia Institute of Technology Assessment of Spatial Aerosol Com position in Atlanta (ASACA) monitors. Note that there is some overlap in the above monitoring networks. Fo r example, some data from PAMS (such as O3 and NOx) are included in the AQS database, and it appears that the STN network may also include speciated PM data from IMPROVE and other monitoring networks.

Although a comprehensive quality assu rance and validation effort is beyond the scope of this effort, we are attempting to rec oncile data from the various networks and to perform a high level QA of the ambient data. The monitoring networks, the available data, and QA efforts are described below. We expect that during the next two months we will continue

## 1 -2 to gather and process ambient data, and will rely on expertise from other team members and VISTAS in identifying ambient da ta. We have not yet investigated the possibility of systematic bias among different analytical me thods used in the various networks. However, this is an important subject to be addre ssed because of the possibility that networks employ different sampling methods. Measurement data from monitors operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Georgia Technology’s ASACA monitors have no t yet been acquired. ASACA has been operating three Particle Composi tion Monitors and three TEOMS in Atlanta since early 1999. When acquired, these data will be documented on the project website.

## 2-1 2.0 EPA’S AIR QUALITY SYSTEM (AQS) The Air Quality System (AQS) database is EPA's repository of “ criteria air pollutant” monitoring data since the 1970s. The criteria air pollutants are: • 

## Carbon Monoxide (CO) • 

## Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) • 

## Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) • 

## Ozone (O3) • 

## Particulate Matter (PM 10 

## and PM 2.5 

## ) • 

## Lead (Pb) Ambient concentrations of these pollutants from more than 4000 monitoring stations are reported to AQS on weekly or monthly basis. While several other monitoring networks (e.g. PAMS, IMPROVE, CASTNet, and etc.) owned and operated by different agencies collect various air pollutants, only criteria air pollutants are reported to AQS (as shown in Figure 2- 1).

## 3-1 3.0 PHOTOCHEMICAL ASSESSMENT MONITORING STATIONS (PAMS) In response to the 1990 Clean Air Act Ame ndments, EPA has required more extensive monitoring of ozone and its precursors in ar eas with persistently high ozone levels. Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (P AMS) have been established by the States to collect and report detailed data for volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, ozone and meteorological parameters. The EPA lists five objectives for the PAMS program: 1. Provide a speciated ambient air database which is both representative and useful for ascertaining ambient profiles and disti nguishing among various individual VOC. 2. Provide local, current meteorological and ambient data to serve as initial and boundary condition information for photochemical gr id models, a meth od that simulates meteorological and physical processes that affect air pollution emissions in the atmosphere. 3. Provide a representative, speciated ambien t air database which is characteristic of source emission impacts. 4. Provide ambient data meas urements which would allow la ter preparation of unadjusted and adjusted pollutant trends reports. 5. Provide additional me asurements of selected criteria pollutants. Because different types of ambient monitoring data are required to characterize regional background concentration, emissions sources, and peak pollutant le vels, four different types of PAMS sites are used: • Type I: Upwind and background characterization • Type II: Maximum ozone precursor emissions impact • Type III: Maximum ozone concentration • Type IV: Extreme downwind monitoring Hourly average concentrations of O 3 

## , NO, NO2, NOx and about 60 species of VOC (volatile organic compounds) are measured at each PAMS station. Archived data files can be downloaded from the website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/airs/airsaqs/archived% 20data/archivedaqsdata.htm . Table 3-1 shows the species names, carbon numbers and molecule weights for 60 species of VOC measured in PAMS. The PAMS data are currently available for VISTAS’ two modeling periods of July 9-22, 1999 and Jan. 1-21, 2002. Since some data, such as O3, NO, NO2 and NOx may also be included in the AQS database, we are still considering the best approach to treat th ese data (i.e., present them with the AQS data only, or with the PAMS data only, or both). For the data from selected PAMS sites, hourly average concentrations are available for 64 species (Table 2-1) for July 9-22, 1999 and Ja n. 1-21, 2002. The animated graphics that show five species (TNMOC, THC, HCHO, acetaldehyde and acetone) concentrations have been put on the VISTAS project website ( http://pah.cert.ucr.edu/vistas/ambient.shtml , under the title of “Ambient data for Model Evaluation”. Exampl e plots of average concentrations for two important species (HCHO and acetone) are shown in Figures 3-1 through 3-4.

4.0 INTERAGENCY MONITORING OF PROTECTED VISUAL ENVIRONMENTS (IMPROVE) The Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) monitoring network consists of air quality data from Cl ass I areas that include national parks and wilderness areas where visibility is deemed an important attribute. There are also IMPROVE protocol monitoring sites that are not located in Class I areas (see Appendix A for locations). This monitoring program is an interagency effort with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDOI), including the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. The IMPROVE fine particle network collects PM 2.5 

## and PM 10 

## samples over a twenty four hour using IMPROVE samplers. The current network consists of over 160 monitoring sites, mainly located in Class I ("Clean Air") areas. Some of the earliest sites have been in operation since March 1988, although most sites were installed in the mid 1990’s or later. The PM samples are analyzed for PM 2.5 

## mass and its elemental constituents, organics, ions, light absorption and PM 10 

## mass. The objectives of IMPROVE are: (1) to establis h current visibility and aerosol conditions in mandatory class I areas; (2) to identify chemi cal species and emission sources responsible for existing man-made visibility impairment; (3 ) to document long-term trends for assessing progress towards the national visibility goal; (4) and to provide regional haze monitoring representing all visibility-protected federal cl ass I areas where practical. In 1999 there were 70 IMPROVE sites including 30 sites in Class I areas and an additional 40 sites using the IMPROVE protocol. By 2002 there were a pproximately 110 IMPROVE sites and 53 IMPROVE Protocol sites. The standard IMPROVE sampler has four samp ling modules, listed below, although some sites only include the Module A: Module A: PM 2.5 

## particles on Teflon are analyzed at UC Davis using the following methods: • gravimetric mass for PM 2.5 

## • hybrid integrating plate/sphere method for optical absorption • Proton Elastic Scattering Analysis (PESA) for hydrogen • Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) for Na-Mn • X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for Fe-Pb Module B: PM 2.5 

## particles on nylon. A denuder before the nylon filter removes nitric acid vapors. These are analyzed by ion chromatogr aphy (IC) at Research Triangle Institute for nitrate (NO 3 - 

## ), chloride (Cl - 

## ), sulfate (SO 4 2- 

## ), and nitrite (NO 2 - 

## ). Module C: PM 2.5 

## particles on quartz. These are analyzed at Desert Research Institute for carbon using the Thermal Optical Reflectance (T OR) combustion method. A secondary filter at selected sites is used to determine artifacts . These are reported in 8 temperature categories.

## 4-2 Module D: PM 10 

## particles on Teflon. All are measured for PM 10 

## mass. Approximately 4% are analyzed by the other four methods listed for Module A. For selected IMPROVE sites, there also are tr ansmissometer data to directly measure light extinction and nephelometer data to provide direct measurements of light scattering. The IMPROVE data have passed the “Level 0 and Level 1” quality assurance and control procedure conducted by the Crocker Nuclear Labor atory at UC Davis, and are added to the online database after a 30 day period to allow the States, Tribes, FLM’s or any other organization a chance to review and comment on the accuracy, credibility, and/or representativeness of aerosol speciation data coll ected and the reconciliation of any issues these organizations may find. In the past, we ha ve not performed any additional QA of the IMPROVE data, and have simply used the data obtained from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Atmosphere (CIRA) website: http://vista.cira.col ostate.edu/improve . A 24 hour averaging period is used for IMPR OVE data. Prior to 2000, two 24 hour samples were collected twice a week, on Wednesday an d Saturday. After 2000, 24 hour samples were collected every three days. Table 4-1 lists the 41 species measured at IM PROVE sites. The IMPROVE data are available for all three VISTAS modeling episodes. The downloaded data have been formatted for evaluation software, and time series plots ar e also available for download on the project website. Additional QA of these data can be perfor med, as discussed in Section 10, using time series and scatter plots of these data. Table 4-1. Species of PM 2.5

## For most species, the IMPROVE data cannot be matched directly to the model gas and PM species because of lumping sche mes in the model chemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the ambient data and model species into forms that can be directly compared. Table 4- 2 shows the mapping scheme used for the IMPROVE comparison to the model species. Table 4-3 list definitions for CMAQ model species. Defi nitions for compounds in Table 4-2 include the following: OC is organic carbon; EC is elemental carbon or soot; CM is coarse mass; RCFM is reconstructed fine mass; and Bext_R econ is reconstructed extinction coefficient. We note that in previous model evaluation for WR AP the sulfate and nitrate were assumed to be full neutralized and that ammonium sulfat es and nitrate were represented in CMAQ as 1.375*(ASO4J + ASO4I) +1.29*(ANO3J + ANO3 I), respectively. This was used for consistency with the formula used to calculate the model reconstructed extinction coefficient. For VISTAS we propose to use the C MAQ model ammonium mass (ANH4J+ANH4J) explicitly because this provides a more accurate estimate of modeled fine mass. In previous modeling studies we have not had access to direct measurements of ammonium ion (NH 4 + 

## ). VISTAS is funding the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) to measure NH4 + 

## at 10 sites beginning in September, 2002. Prior to September, NH 4 + 

## data will be available for only 3 sites: Great Smokey Mountains (GRSM), Shenandoah (SHEN), Cl ass I areas, and Dolly Sods (DOSO). Concerns have been raised regarding the accu racy of the IMPROVE HNO3 data, and we have found that it tends to be lower than HNO3 da ta from the CASTNET network. However, we do not have a basis for adjusting or rejecting the IMPROVE HNO3 data, and further evaluation of HNO3 data from all monitoring ne tworks is required. In September 2003 EPA will conduct a field study intercomparison of HNO3 methods using a Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer as a reference method. This may provide insight into the accuracy of HNO3 methods employed at the different moni toring networks, however, it is unlikely that results from this study will be available in 2003 to affect the VISTAS Phase I modeling. There are concerns that the coarse mass (C M) IMPROVE measurements may also include some sulfate, nitrate and other species (e.g., sea salt and organics) that occur in the coarse mode. There are two different mechanism by wh ich NO3 can be transferred to the coarse mode: formation of coarse mode sodium nitrate or calcium nitrate, a nd the ammonium nitrate distributions that can extend in to the coarse mode. In previous CMAQ performance evaluations, all nitrate has been assumed to be in the fine mode. If s ubstantial fractions of nitrate are in the coarse mode, CMAQ would be expected to over predict the mass of fine nitrate. Speciation of the CM fraction is ongoing at several IMPROVE site s to investigate this issue. A coarse mode speciation measuremen t program was begun in spring, 2002, and it is possible that initial results wi ll be available in fall, 2002.

## 5-1 5.0 SOUTHEASTERN AEROSOL RE SEARCH AND CHARACTERIZATION (SEARCH) SEARCH is a monitoring network for Southeastern Aerosol Research and Characterization. There are 8 monitoring sites located in four st ates in the SEARCH network whose locations are shown in Figure 5-1. Daily PM 2.5 

## data are measured for 46 sp ecies, while daily coarse PM data are measured for 18 species in SEARCH netw ork. Archived data file can be downloaded from the website ( http://www.atmospheric-research.com/public/index.html ). Tables 5-1 and 5- 2 show the names for 46 PM 2.5 

## species and 18 coarse PM species. The SEARCH data are currently available for two of the VISTAS Ph ase I modeling episodes (July 9-22, 1999 and July 7-28, 2001). The frequency of the PM 2.5 

## measurements of SEARCH has varied from 1998 to the present. Measurements were made daily at all sites for a little over one year. Subsequently, the measurements frequency varies from daily to every third or sixth day depending on the specific site of interest . Semi-continuous TEOM PM 2.5 

## mass measurements have been available since the onset of the program and are reported as hourly averages. Semi-continuous measurements of PM chemical components have been phased in over the years, initially at Jefferson Street (Atlanta) and later at other sites. However, the ARS Data Gap report indicates that such hourly data have not yet been made generally available on the SEARCH web site. We need to determine whether the modeling team has this data or how best to get access to this data. Table 5-1 . PM 2.5

## 7-1 7.0 NATIONAL ATMOSPHERIC DE POSITION PROGRAM (NADP) The National Atmospheric Deposition Program/N ational Trends Network (NADP/NTN) is designed to measure wet deposition. The netw ork is a cooperative effort between State Agricultural Experiment Stations, the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other governmental and privat e entities. It includes over 200 sites in the continental United States, Alaska, and Puerto Ri co, and the Virgin Islands whose locations are shown in Figure 7-1. The purpose of the netw ork is to collect data on the chemistry of precipitation for monitoring of geographical and temporal long-term trends. The precipitation at each station is collected weekly is analyzed for hydrogen (acidity as pH), sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, and base cations (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium). The NADP network includes a quality assurance program, so we expect to use this data without any additional QA. The major wet deposition network -- the Nation al Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) - - has a large array of about 200 stations. Weekly samples of precipitation are collected at these stations and then sent to a single central laboratory for chemical analysis. The weekly sampling network has three severe drawbacks: Because the NADP program uses a weekly sa mpling period the data has poor temporal resolution and the sample chemistry can be a ffected by chemical and biological activity. The NADP also includes the Atmospheric Integrat ed Research Monitoring Network (AIRMoN) which was designed to study precipitation chemistr y trends with greater temporal resolution. Precipitation samples are collected daily from a network of nine wet deposition sites and analyzed for the same constituents as the NADP/NTN samples. AIRMoN also includes a dry deposition network and these are described ne xt. NADP measures weekly deposition of compounds in units of mg/l as well as precipitati on in units of l. The PM models will output deposition in terms of hourly mass flux per gr id cell (e.g., 12 km x 12 km). The modeled results will be accumulated to weekly de position fluxes per unit area (e.g., gm/km 2 

## /week). Using the NADP precipitation and information on the NADP Sampler, the NADP deposition measurements will be converted to the same units as the modeled values. AIRMoN Dry Deposition Data The AIRMoN program includes both dry and we t deposition components. Figure 7-2 shows the locations of monitoring sites for both program s. The dry deposition data is described at their web page: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/resear ch/projects/airmon_data.html . The description of the AIRMoN dry deposition data from the website is included verbatim here for convenience: Dry deposition rates are computed in the AIRM oN network by combining estimates of sitespecific and time-evolving depos ition velocities with measuremen ts of air concentrations obtained using a weekly sampling protocol. The intent has been to mirror the 0900 Tuesday sample change standards adopted by the Nationa l Atmospheric Deposition Program. At times, the AIRMoN dry samples are obtained over s ubstantially different periods, because of

## 7-2 operator absence or problems with instrumenta tion. The data summaries have been arranged so that each sequential week is represented, even though some of the initial data represent periods longer than a single week. The AIRMoN concentration sampler is a three- element filterpack, with a leading teflon filter to remove particles, a middle nylon filter to extract nitric acid vapor, and a final doped cellulose filter intended primarily to sample sulf ur dioxide. An inlet tube is used to impose a small amount of heat on the incoming air stream , to protect against liquid formation on the filters in periods of high humidities. There is no doubt that this influences the measurement of ammonium nitrate. In practice, any temperature change imposed on collected ammonium nitrate particles will cause some change in th e sample, so that any long-term accumulative measurement of related species (such as that reported here) will be susceptible to error because of the effects of the diurnal cycle in air temperature. Tests of the AIRMoN sampling system indicate that particulate ammoni um nitrate deposited on the teflon filter is incompletely disassociated with minor conseque nces on the measurement of nitric acid vapor and of sulfur dioxide, but with major influence on the measurement of nitrate on the doped cellulose filter. For this reason, measurements of nitrate reported here are considered to be unreliable. It should also be noted that tests indicate that th e values associated with nitric acid vapor are underestimates, on the average by 25%. The values listed should be increased accordingly, to correct for this error (due to deposition on the walls of the inlet tube). Deposition velocities tabulated he re are derived using a multi-layer numerical model, driven by field observations of selected key variables (such as wind speed, the standard deviation of the wind direction, surface wetness, incident solar radiation, temperature, humidity, plant species distribution, etc.) It is estimated that these deposition velocities might be in error by as much as 30%. Weekly average deposition rate s are computed as the product of the weekly average deposition velocities and the weekly average con centration, thus omitting consideration of a correlation term that can be significant when air concentrations display a consistent and significant diurnal cycle. 

## Regarding the last paragraph above, there are in fact large diurnal variations in several trace species of interest, and the errors introduced by this approach should be further investigated. O mitting consideration of a correlation term is like ly to introduce additional errors greater than the 30% error mentioned above. As noted on the AIRMoN web page, there is very large uncertainty in dry deposition estimates, and it is possible that the data on th e website will be modified as more is learned about the processes that control dry deposition. UCR is currently investigating the availability of the NADP and AIRMoN data. We expect to obtain the AIRMoN data from the website, but we still need to determine if other NADP data is available.

## 7-3 AIRMoN Wet Deposition Data: The AIRMoN wet deposition program is described at the web page: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/resear ch/projects/airmon_wet.html The AIRMoN wet deposition moni toring employs a daily sample collection protocol, thus differentiating itself from the weekly operations of the mainstream NADP stations. In practice, daily sampling provides a greatly improved quan tification of ammonium deposition. At the National Atmospheric Deposition Program Te chnical Committee Meeting in 1994 (October 24-27) final decisions were made regarding the AIRMoN-wet quality assurance plan; a system of flags will be used to alert da ta users to specific problems. UCR is currently downloading data from both wet and dry AIRMoN networks.

## 8-1 8.0 CLEAN AIR STATUS A ND TREND NETWORK (CASTNET) CASTNET is designed to measure dry depositio n and it is comprised of 123 sites across the United States as shown in Figure 8-1. It incl udes measurements of ambient concentration and meteorology and land use which are then used to calculate dry deposition rates. For the model performance evaluation we will use th e ambient concentration measurements to compare with the model. Dry deposition data ar e measured for 13 species including: TOTAL SO4, TOTAL NO3, TOTAL NH4, CA, MG, NA, K, NSO4, NHNO3, WSO2, WNO3, TOTAL SO2, and TOTAL NO3. Detailed data collection procedures ar e described at the EPA CASTNET website: http://www.epa.gov/castnet . In short, atmospheric concentration data are collected at each site with open-faced, 3-stage filter packs. The f ilter pack contains a Teflon filter for collection of particulate species, a nylon filter for nitric acid and a base-impregnated cellulose (Whatman) filter for sulfur dioxide. Filter p acks are exposed for 1-week intervals (i.e., Tuesday to Tuesday) at a flow rate of 1.5 lite rs per minute (3.0 liters per minute for western sites), and sent to the Harding ESE, Gaines ville, FL laboratory for chemical analysis. All three filters are extracted a nd analyzed for certain species: Teflon filter: SO 4 2- 

## , NO 3 - 

## , NH 4 + 

## Nylon filter: SO 4 2- 

## , NO 3 - 

## Cellulose filter (Whatman): SO 4 2- 

## , NO 3 - 

## The sulfate, nitrate and ammonium in the teflon filter extract are interpreted as particulate species (listed above as TSO4, TNO3 and T NH4). The nitrate in the nylon filter extract is interpreted as nitric acid. The sum of sulfate in the nylon and cellulose filter extracts is interpreted as sulfur dioxide (SO2). Any nitrate detected in the cellulose filter extract is not interpreted, since it likely represents a host of oxidized nitrogen species. Because aerosol nitrate on the teflon filter can revolatilize, the nitrate on the teflon filter represent those particles that have not volatil ized during the sampling period. The nitrate on the nylon back filter represents nitric acid that was originally in the atmosphere plus any that was produced through revolatilization of the nitr ate particles on the teflon filter. Thus, because of the volatilization losses, the CASTNet particulate nitrate is less than the IMPROVE nitrate. Also, because IMPROVE uses a nitrate denuder to remove ambient nitric acid, the CASTNet total nitrate (the sum of the teflon and nylon filter nitrates) is greater than the IMPROVE nitrate. Details are provided in Appendix G of the 2000 IMPROVE Report and by Ames and Malm [Ames R.B and W.C. Malm, Comparison of sulfate and nitrate particle mass concentrations measured by IMPROVE and the CDN, Atmospheric Environment, 2001, 905- 916.] Thus, the IMPROVE and CASTNet nitrate values cannot be directly compared. Moreover, the CASTNet NO3 and HNO3 data cannot be direct ly compared to the modeled species. In previous applications we have compared the CASTNet data to the model for the sum NO3+HNO3 and we propose to use the same approach for the VISTAS model evaluation. The CASTNet data have been downloaded from: http://www.epa.gov/castnet/data.html . The CASTNET data are available for all three modeling episodes. The actual start time and

## 8-2 collection period varies among sites, so this makes it difficult to automate the model performance evaluation, and additional effort is required to match the sample period with the model output period. As in the case of the IMPROVE data, measured species can not be compared directly to the models species, and Table 8-1 shows the mapp ing scheme to be used for comparing the CASTNET data to model species.

## 9-1 9.0 PM SUPERSITES There are 8 PM Supersites. The locations of th ese sites are listed in Table 9-1. The data includes PM size distribution, ions, metal elements, EC, OC, radical, and gaseous pollutants is measured in Supersites. Available data varies with the site. The archived data files can be downloaded from the website ( ftp://ftp.supersitesdata.umd.edu ). Eastern Supersites Program (ESP01) The ESP01 was initially planned as an effort to coordinate an intensive monitoring in July 2001 among the three PM Supersites projects (N ew York, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore). As other researchers expressed interest in the pr ogram it grew in scope and eventually over 30 groups were involved in ESP01. The intensive monitoring program was planned for June 30, 2001 at 0000 hrs to July 29, 2001 at 2400 hrs. The program included an extensive set of gas, PM, PM precursor, photochemical, visibility , and meteorological measurements. The study also included an extensive network of Radar Profilers (NOAA FSL) which will be useful for evaluating transport within and above the bound ary layer. EPA plans to centralize all air quality and meteorological data in one location w ithin several relational databases to allow for easy access to the data and to help ensure that m odelers and data analysts will be working with uniform databases. Details on data collect ed at the PM Supersites can be found at www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/supersites.html. We have contacted Paul Solomon and Marc Pitchford to determine the schedule for releasing this database. Table 9-1. Locations of PM Supersites.

## 10-1 10.0 AIRCRAFT DATA Of the three episodes selected for Phase I, onl y during episode 3 (13-21 July 1999) were there research aircraft flights performed that provi de aloft meteorological and air quality data suitable for model performance testing. Thes e data were collected during the Southern Oxidants Study (SOS) intensive field program pe rformed principally in Nashville, TN during the summer of 1999. An overview of the SOS/Na shville 1999 aircraft data has been submitted to VISTAS as Appendix A to the Task 2 repor t (ENVIRON, 2003) and is not repeated here. Aircraft data are available through the NARSTO Archive and are available online at: http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/pr oject/narsto/table_narsto.html . We have downloaded the NOAA WP3 data, but have not yet attempted to process this data for model evaluation. The Brookhaven/DOE data does not appear to be accessible through the NARSTO archive, and we will contact Brookhaven directly to access this data.

## 11-1 11.0 DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE In gathering data from the monitoring networ ks we have assumed that QA was performed by the agency or researcher responsible for collect ing the data. However, it is possible that the data sets may contain erroneous data (i.e., missing data, zeros during calibration, unrealistic values, etc). Due to poor documentation or poor formatting of some data sets it is also possible that we will make mistakes in our pr ocessing of the data. To guard against this possibility, we plan to perform a high level QA by visually inspecting time-series plots and scatter plots of the ambient data as follows: Plots of Time Series Time series plots are generated for PAMS sp ecies. The plots should be inspected for the following: • 

## Large "jumps" or "dips" in the concentrations • 

## Periodicity of peaks, calibration carryover • 

## Unexpected diurnal beha vior (i.e., isoprene) • 

## Unexpected relationships among species • 

## High single-hour concentrations of less abundant species Scatter Plots Scatter plots may be prepared for the following: • 

## Total NMOC vs. species group to tals, vs. individual species • 

## Benzene vs. Toluene, Acetylene, Ethane • 

## Scatter plots comparing data for a single species measured with different sampling methods • 

## Plots of reconstructed mass versus measur ed mass (to reveals if anything unusual is happening with the chemical measurements) • 

## Plots of molal particulate ammonium versus the molal sum of sulfate and particulate nitrate (as a sanity check on the ion bala nce in the PM chemical measurements) If we identify data that appears flawed it will be flagged and either corrected if the error is in the processing step, or removed from the data set.
