Proposal to NARSTO: Incorporation of Canadian and Mexican PM data into
NAM Spatio-Temporal Analysis
Submitted to NARSTORudolf Husar
May 2001
PM2.5 Networks over N. America
• The Canadian & US PM2.5 data will be reformatted for integration• Compatible parameters (PM2.5, SO4…) extracted
Data Processing and QA
• Summary statistics calculated – Seasonal average– Annual average– Seasonal Percentiles (20, 50, 80, 90%)
• Compatibility of US & Canadian data evaluation (to some degree)– Comparison of co-located samples (few but available)– Average concentration comparison near boundary– Elimination of early 1999 US PM2.5 FRM data– Other tests, to be determined
Seasonal contour maps
• Canadian data to be added• Seasonal and annual PM2.5 maps will be prepared• In remote Canada, data will be shown as color coded bars.
New England: Fine Particle Mass Percentiles
• The same seasonal trend charts will be done for selected Canadian sites
• Shows both the average, seasonality and the episodicity of PM concentration

Seasonal PM10 Mexico
• Mexico for 36 stations, 5 cities are available from Mexico
• Additional FRM PM10 data are in AIRS for El Paso, Mexicali and other boarder sites
• Seasonal pattern will be evaluated
Guadalajara Monterrey
Toluca Mexico City
New England: Seasonal Chemical Mass Balance
• The same seasonal chemical trend charts will be done for selected Canadian sites
• Shows the seasonal contribution of different species
