of this work could not be accomplished.
The Relaxed Eddy Accumulation development was carried out under the total supervision of Dr.
Henrik Skov at The National Environmental Research Institute of Denmark, Department of
Atmospheric Environment, with subsequent development in Oak Ridge, USA at the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion
Division (ATDD), under the supervision of Dr.’s Tilden Meyers and Steve Brooks. Dr. Alex
Guenther, US National Center for Atmospheric Research, NCAR, Boulder provided schematics
photos and field advice for the NCAR REA system, during at a visit to NCAR.
The RGM KCL coated annular denuder sampling system was tested prior to deployment at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Steve Lindberg. Dr.
Lindberg functioned as this Ph.D.’s overall external supervisor during the stay in Oak Ridge. The
system was deployed at Walker Branch Research Area under the supervision of Dr. Lindberg, for
testing prior to deployment to the NOAA Climate Monitoring and Data Laboratory, Barrow,
Alaska.
While in Alaska, the system was set up under the supervision of Dr. Brooks, and Denuder
Analysis under supervision of Dr. Matt Landis, US Environmental Protection Agency. Dr. Robert
Stevens, Florida Liaison to the US EPA, also advised in sampling system development and
deployment in the United States and Alaska.
Initial exposure to GEM and RGM sampling and flux measurement systems was during a visit to
the Laboratory of Dr. Ralf Ebbinghaus, GKSS, Geesthacht, Germany. Annular denuder preparation
and analysis was initially instructed by Dr. Weijin Dong, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and
