Here we present results from
the backtrajectory analysis for 2001-2004. Eight day HYSPLIT
backtrajectories were calculated at each site. Eight trajectories were run per day with
a starting height of 500 m AGL.
Residence
time maps were created for all
days, 20% best days, 20% worst days, and 20% worst days for sulfate, organic
carbon, elemental carbon, fine soil, nitrate, and coarse mass. We also
computed conditional and incremental probability maps that show the likelihood
that backtrajectories from a given area were associated with 20% worst days
for each major component. |

To allow for an understanding
of transport climatology, we have prepared residence time maps for each of
the 12 months of the year. |
