appear to originate from source profiles approaching co-linearity due to exclusion of nonane,<br />

decane and undecane from the fit for “aged” samples.<br />

Several of the source categories accurately resolved by CMB in Figure 4-5 have rather trivial<br />

source profiles (CNG/aged, LPG and biogenics) and therefore are relatively immune to errors<br />

resulting from co-linearity. The skill demonstrated by CMB in Figure 4-5 is in simultaneously<br />

resolving the gasoline, background and diesel contributions despite overlap between profiles for<br />

many species. The CMB apportionment for diesel shows fair correlation with the actual<br />

contribution, but diesel is over-estimated by CMB. Figure 4-6 shows in detail the diesel and<br />

gasoline apportionments (with diesel multiplied by 10) and shows that the CMB diesel overestimates<br />

are correlated with gasoline under-estimates, i.e., the deviations from 1:1 are largest for<br />

both gasoline and diesel at Crestline/Lake Perris and smallest at Hawthorn/Long Beach. This<br />

suggests that the CMB bias for diesel originates from a degree of co-linearity with the gasoline<br />

profile. This is generally true when nonane, decane and undecane are left out of the fit.<br />

Experiments 9-11 were similar to experiment 12 but introduced the complicating effects of<br />

chemical processing (experiments 9 and 11) and measurement uncertainties (9 and 10). Figure<br />

4-7 compares CMB contributions to actual contributions for experiments 9-12 in Round 3,<br />

averaged over all receptors and hours.<br />
