Study of the Nature of Ozone, Oxides of Nitrogen, and Nonmethane Hydrocarbons in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Volume III. Data Analysis and Interpretation

摘要

The 1977 Tulsa study was conducted to provide the EPA with a high quality data base for use in testing various photochemical simulation models. The monitoring program was designed to facilitate the observation of incoming pollutant transport and the formation of ozone downwind. Pollutant and meteorological measurements were made from ground level monitoring sites and aboard an instrumented aircraft. This volume reports on the analysis and interpretation of measured parameters. Included are analyses of (1) the meteorological representativeness of the study area, (2) the statistical relationship of ozone to other parameters, (3) the hydrocarbon and aircraft ozone measurements, and (4) case studies of periods of high ozone concentrations.
