Abstract

During the daytime the median NO_Y levels were 2 to 5 ppbv at all sites, which may be representative of rural areas in the populated regions of eastern North America. Each site showed variations in the NO_Y levels of an order of magnitude or more. Measurements from all of the sites are consistent with the major contributors to NO_Y being NO_X (the sum of NO and NO₂), PAN, and nitric acid with a minor contribution from aerosol nitrate. At the lower elevation sites the median [NO_X] to [NO_Y] ratios were 70% or more during the night and declined to minima of 25 to 40% during the day. During the daytime the ranges of the median contributions of PAN and HNO₃ to NO_Y were 12 to 25% and approximately 20 to 30%, respectively. The distributions of the contributions about these medians are discussed. Results from all of the sites are consistent with the individually measured species accounting for about 90% of the simultaneously measured NO_Y. -from Authors
