international field campaign using positive matrix factorization
The authors conducted VOC measurements using PTR-TOF in Kathmandu, Nepal. PMF was used to separate various source contributions to ambient VOC as a function of time. The authors then used a PMF “nudging” tool and some a priori knowledge of source profiles to move the PMF solution into a more physically realistic space. The various PMF factors are identified by comparing their VOC composition wi...
متن کاملContribution of point and small-scaled sources to the PM10 emission using positive matrix factorization model
BACKGROUND The positive matrix factorization is a powerful environmental analysis technique which has been successfully utilized to assess air-born particulate matter source contribution. The new version of this model (PMF5) has two additional estimation error methods and some other useful advantages compared to the previous versions. In the present study, the capability of PMF5 for identificat...
متن کاملInvestigating types and sources of organic aerosol in Rocky Mountain National Park using aerosol mass spectrometry
The environmental impacts of atmospheric particles are highlighted in remote areas where visibility and ecosystem health can be degraded by even relatively low particle concentrations. Submicron particle size, composition, and source apportionment were explored at Rocky Mountain National Park using a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer. This summer campaign found low averag...
متن کاملInterpretation of organic components from positive matrix factorization of aerosol mass spectrometric data
The organic aerosol (OA) dataset from an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (Q-AMS) collected at the Pittsburgh Air Quality Study (PAQS) in September 2002 was analyzed with Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF). Three components – hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol OA (HOA), a highly-oxygenated OA (OOA-1) that correlates well with sulfate, and a less-oxygenated, semi-volatile OA (OOA-2) that correl...
متن کاملABC international field campaign using positive matrix factorization
General comment: The manuscript shows results of a source apportionment study of NMVOCs measured by PTR-TOF-MS in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal during winter 2013. Positive matrix factorization analysis was conducted to identify possible emission sources for 37 m/z measured by PTR-MS. The sources were identified from the chemical fingerprint of each PMF factor and their diurnal profiles. Condit...
