Interactive comment on “Interpretation of organic components from positive matrix factorization of aerosol mass spectrometric data” by I. M. Ulbrich
This manuscript contains an extensive analysis of what happens when Q-mode Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (Q-AMS) data are analyzed by the PMF model, using the program PMF2. The authors have attempted to find limits of what may be reliably deduced about the sources of organic aerosol in such analysis. As a result of their work, they express caveats against interpreting the results too strongly. This...
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 کاملAtmospheric submicron aerosol composition and particulate organic nitrate formation in a boreal forestland–urban mixed region
The Puijo aerosol–cloud observation station is a unique measurement site for its location in the mixed region between the boreal forestland and the municipality of Kuopio, Finland. A measurement campaign was carried out at the station during fall 2010. An Aerodyne high-resolution timeof-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-Tof-AMS) was deployed to characterize the atmospheric submicron aerosols...
متن کاملReal-time methods for estimating organic component mass concentrations from aerosol mass spectrometer data.
We use results from positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis of 15 urban aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) data sets to derive simple methods for estimating major organic aerosol (OA) component concentrations in real time. PMF analysis extracts mass spectral (MS) profiles and mass concentrations for key OA components such as hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA), oxygenated OA (OOA), low-volatility OOA (...
متن کاملReceptor modeling of near-roadway aerosol mass spectrometer data in Las Vegas, Nevada, with EPA PMF
Ambient non-refractory PM1 aerosol particles were measured with an Aerodyne High Resolution Timeof-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-AMS) at an elementary school 18 m from the US 95 freeway soundwall in Las Vegas, Nevada, during January 2008. Additional collocated continuous measurements of black carbon (BC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and meteorological data were collected...
