Diurnal variations of O3, continuous PM2.5 mass, CO, ethene, isoprene, NO, NO2, and SO2

 at sites across the OTR (including all of VA), for the period May 15 - September 30, 2002.

July 6-9 data were excluded because of the influence of the Quebec forest fires.

O3 results are shown separately for SLAMS/NAMS (N=208) and CASTNet/other (N=28) sites.

"Other" O3 sites include AIRMAP sites in NH, Pinnacle State Park in NY, and Harvard Forest in MA.

Ethene (N=19) and isoprene (N=19) results only cover June 1 - August 31 since there are so few measurements outside of this time range.

For CO (N=97), NO (N=75), NO2 (N=97), and SO2 (N=134) all available data from AQS and the other special sites (listed above) were included

For PM2.5 (N=57), the data from the NE-OPS site in Philadelphia were also included

CMAQ results are from the 2002 BaseB1 simulation.

Only those predictions from hours with valid observed concentrations were included here.
