Deployment of AMS and MOUDI during the “chicken” study Two AMS’ were deployed sequentially at the Abbotsford Airport GVRD site (Aug – Sep and Sep Nov, 2004 First data from early Aug indicate very low ammonium/nitrate/sulfate AMS measurements and data collection continues unattended until early Nov 04 MOUDI sampling on a 12 hour basis in Oct – Nov

Temporal variations
Sources for alkanes and ketones N-Alkanes Primary emissions: Vehicular (CT), Plants (GEP), mixture (other sites) N-Alkanones Shorter chain ketones: secondary Longer chain ketones: primary Branched ketones: biogenic
Chemical size distribution (Anlauf et al.) Coarse nitrate: titration of sea salt chloride by HNO 3, both day and night Accumulation mode nitrate: production at night through N 2 O 5, HNO 3 +NH 3 Fine mode sulfate: evidence of primary emissions
