Final Report — September 2004 Figure 3-1. Data recovery of 24-hr tracer sample data during the two periods when 24-hr tracer sampling took place. Top shows the fraction (%) of 24-hour tracer samples from 7/1 to 8/12/99. Bottom shows the fraction (%) of 24-hour tracer samples from 10/8 to 10/31/99. 3-7
Final Report — September 2004 collecting aerosol and SO 2 samples. All sites collected PM 2.5 on Teflon filters; many sites have additional measurements. Table 3-4 summarizes the number of sites for each type of measurement. Figures 3-2 and 3-3 show the locations of the monitoring sites and the parameters measured at each site. Table 3-5 gives this information as well, along with site name and latitude, longitude, elevation, and purpose of each site. The purposes of sites included: general gradient sites 2 in Texas (about 100 km apart); border gradient sites at the Texas/Mexico border; Texas/other U.S. States border sites; coastal gradient sites; Big Bend area gradient sites; Class I areas; and sites predominantly downwind of tracer release locations. Additional aerosol and gaseous measurements were made at Big Bend (K-Bar Ranch). These measurements are summarized in Table 3-6. Many of the specialized aerosol measurements at Big Bend were made to support an ion balance study, carbon apportionment, and a size distribution study. The ion balance study was designed to identify the form of the sulfate compound, to determine aerosol acidity, estimate particle size distributions associated with each ion component, investigate the possibility of sea salt contributions to the ions at BBNP, and compare ion composition to similar elemental aerosol components from the IMPROVE sampler. The carbon study goal was to identify the major carbonaceous source types that contribute to the aerosol at BBNP by measuring indicator species unique to those source types. The size distribution studies were designed to determine the size information needed for Mie Theory calculations of light scattering and thereby test the closure between aerosol and optical measurements; to determine the water content of the aerosol by comparing dry and moist size distribution measurements; and to assess the extent of the coarse particle scattering bias by nephelometers caused by truncation errors. Results of the special studies are summarized in Chapters 5 and 6. Table 3-4. Number of measurement sites by measurement type.

This information in combination with other data can be used to help infer emission source areas. 3-8
