Meteorological and Back Trajectory Modeling for the Rocky Mountain Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Study II

Table 4

Mean measured 24-hour ammonia concentrations by season in the far right column and percent attributions ± standard deviations by TrMB analysis for the 2006 RoMANS I (italic font) and 2009 RoMANS II studies. The values in the bottom row (bold font) are concentration weighted means of the four 2008/09 seasons.The RoMANS II results are composite results from 360 TrMB trials for each season using concentrations for the correct time, but allowing all other parameters shown in Table 3 to vary. See Table 5 and Figure 11 for locations.
