Differences in results of simultaneous air monitoring of ozone with three different methods in the field are described. The argument is advanced that the differences are due largely to sampling turbulent atmospheres with instruments utilizing different sampling intervals and time constants. It is concluded that when sampling natural turbulent atmospheres, a stable mean value can only be achieved through integrated sampling periods of greater than ten minutes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
