Analysis of data from the 1995 NARSTO-Northeast Study: Volume 3 -- Chemical mass balance receptor modeling. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:658797
In the summer of 1995, a field measurement program was carried out in the northeastern United States as part of NARSTO-Northeast Study. NARSTO-NE represents one regional aspect of the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO), which is a joint effort among governmental and non-governmental organizations in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. An important component of NARSTO-NE was the acquisition of speciated hydrocarbon and carbonyl compound data, which are used to evaluate emission inventory input data and photochemical model performance, to specify photochemical model boundary and initial conditions, and to attribute source contributions through receptor modeling. This report describes the application of the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) receptor model to the speciated hydrocarbon data obtained during the NARSTO-Northeast Air Quality Study.
