2. IMPROVE Coarse PM Speciation Study Design
Sites studied
Bondville, IL
Bridger, WY
Brigantine, NJ
Grand Canyon, AZ
Great Smokies, TN
Mount Rainier, WA
San Gorgonio, CA
Sequoia, CA
Upper Buffalo, AR
12-18 months of data, varies by site, samples every 3 days
Added PM10 Carbon and Nitrate channels, same analysis method as PM2.5
Analyzed PMcoarse speciation as the species difference PM10 minus PM2.5

3. Reconstructed Coarse & Fine PM Mass versus Gravimetric Mass

4. Monthly Coarse Mass Speciation Total versus Monthly Coarse Mass long-term pattern

5. Speciation of Coarse Mass Fraction
