Gallery of Figures

Figure 1. Concentrations of submicron aerosol mass, aerosol species, and ozone (1100 to 1700 local time). Horizontal lines denote the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles. Error bars denote 5th and 95th percentiles and symbols above and below the ends of the error bars indicate the 0th and 1st and the 99th and 100th percentiles. The solid square in the box denotes the mean.

Figure 2. Average submicron mass fractions (MF) of the aerosol chemical species for ACE Asia, INDOEX, and NEAQS. MF are based on the gravimetrically-determined aerosol mass and concentrations of the chemical species. The MF of HO is that calculated to be associated with the ionic chemical species at 55% RH. POM is estimated by multiplying the measured concentration of OC by a factor of 1.6 to 2.1 to account for associated H and O [Turpin and Lim, 2001].

Figure 3. AOD (500 nm) and SSA (550 nm, ambient RH) for all experiments. Percentile information is the same as for Figure 1.
