Chemical climatology of the southeastern United States, 1999–2013

Abstract: Abstract. A series of experiments (the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study – SOAS) took place in central Alabama in June–July, 2013 as part of the broader Southern Atmosphere Study (SAS). These projects were aimed at studying oxidant photochemistry and formation and impacts of aerosols at a detailed process level in a location where high biogenic organic vapor emissions interact with anthropogenic emissions, and the atmospheric chemistry occurs in a subtropical climate in North America. The majority of the grou… Show more

“…In (a), based on regression slope, the observed RSO4 trend was -0.021 ± 0.007 at CTR versus a predicted value of -0.017 ± 0.006 unit yr -1 for ISORROPIA run with Na + from the charge balance, and -0.003 ± 0.001 unit yr -1 10 for a constant Na + of 0.03 μg m -3 , used by Weber et al (2016). These results are consistent with the reported RSO4 trend of -0.01 to -0.03 yr -1 reported by Hidy et al (2014) for SEARCH data set. In (b), the pH predictions with inferred Na + or with limited Na + of 0.03 μg m -3 shows a fairly stable PM2.5 pH in the last 15 years.…”

“…A negative RSO4 can occur for conditions of high NO3 -and low NH4 + , SO4 2-concentrations (e.g., NaNO3), but rare for ambient fine particles. R or RSO4 is typically observed in the range of 1 and 2 in the southeastern US (i.e., between NH4HSO4 and (NH4)2SO4) (Hidy et al, 2014;15 Guo et al, 2015;Weber et al, 2016). In cases where NO3 -levels are low relative to SO4 2-, the two ratios, RSO4 and R, are equivalent, as is observed in the summertime southeastern US, where NO3 -is typically ~0.2 µg m -3 , NH4 + ~1 µg m -3 , and SO4…”

“…Measurements during 5 SOAS have been described in detail elsewhere (e.g. Hidy et al, 2014;Romer et al, 2016;Feiner et al, 2016) and are summarized below. The primary ground site for SOAS was co-located with the CTR site of the SEARCH network (32.90289 …”
