CNL Report: Historic Comparison of Gravimetric and Reconstructed Mass
Eldred R. 2001. CNL Report: Historic Comparison of Gravimetric and Reconstructed Mass
Reconstructed mass excluding nitrate is compared with gravimetric mass for each year of the IMPROVE network. Two parameters were used to investigate the trends. The first is the slope of the regression line through the origin, assuming gravimetric mass is independent. The second is the ratio of the two means. The slope emphasizes points with large mass, while the ratio reflects the average samples. No significant historical trends in the difference between the measured and reconstructed fine mass was found.
