• Removed ethane from default species list due to excess ethane in boundary conditions,<br />
which accounted for almost all of under apportionment; improved stats.<br />
• exp6 - tried to improve fits by removing sources and species, without success.<br />
• exp9-12 - removed ethene, acetylene, ethane, I-buta to improve fit.<br />
Downwind sites (Lake Perris and Crestline)<br />
• Used type 3 site default species.<br />
• Removed IndEngin.<br />
• Removed Paint, Solvents, and Degrease from profile list because of too few selected<br />
species in profiles.<br />
• exp4 - used type2 aged exhaust species set (not enough species in type 3 set), and put<br />
Paint and Solvents profiles back in.<br />
• exp9-12 - removed acetylene, ethane to improve fit.<br />
Middle sites (Anaheim and Hawthorne)<br />
• Used type2 fresh exhaust species set.<br />
• Removed ethane from default species list due to excess ethane in boundary conditions,<br />
which accounted for almost all of under apportionment; improved stats.<br />
• Removed IndEngin (caused collinearity).<br />
• exp5 - used type2 aged exhaust species set.<br />
• exp6 - put ethane back into species list; high ethane from increased industrial emissions,<br />
especially at Van Nuys.<br />
<strong>No</strong>tes On Manual CMB - Round 4<br />
• CMB run manually for Diamond Bar and Van Nuys for Experiments 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 for<br />
hours 8,12,18 and 24 (80 samples at each site).<br />
• Source elimination feature turned on. Highest negative SCE is automatically removed<br />
and CMB rerun until no negative SCEs remain.<br />
• Used Type 2 fitting species for 08000 samples. Remove ethene in most cases.<br />
• Use same fitting species set for other times except ethane, n_prbz, iprbz and etbz were<br />
removed.<br />
• Species with absolute value of R/U ratio 1 greater than 2 were removed from fitting<br />
species and CMB repeated. Species with R/U occasionally greater than 2 include mcypna,<br />
pena2m, pena3m, i_buta, n_buta, hexa3m, mecyhx, and bu23dm.<br />
1 Ratio of Residual to Its Standard Error (RATIO R/U). This column contains the ratio of the signed difference<br />
between the calculated and measured concentration (the residual) divided by the uncertainty of that residual (square<br />
root of the sum of the squares of the uncertainty in the calculated and measured concentrations). The RATIO R/U<br />
specifies the number of uncertainty intervals by which the calculated and measured concentrations differ. When the<br />
absolute value of the RATIO R/U exceeds 2, the residual is significant. If it is positive, then one or more of the<br />
profiles is contributing too much to that species. If it is negative, then there is an insufficient contribution to that<br />
species and a source may be missing. The sum of the squared RATIO R/U for fitting species divided by the degrees<br />
of freedom yields the CHI-SQUARE. The highest RATIO R/U values for fitting species are the cause of high CHI<br />
SQUARE values.<br />
