The 1979 NRL Air Quality Data.

Abstract

This report is a summary of the air quality data measured and recorded during the calendar year 1979. This annual summary is part of a continuing series initiated in 1975. The variables summarized include ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), total hydrocarbons (THC), methane (CH4), non-methane hydrocarbons (RHC), carbon monoxide (CO), air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed. The instruments in use at the NRL air monitoring station are interfaced to a data acquisition system which in turn is coupled to a magnetic tape recorder. The data input is for one month on a tape which is subsequently analyzed by the NRL air computer program and results in a monthly computer printout of the essential air quality data. Each of the monthly computer printouts is then analyzed and a digest of the information obtained is reported as the annual summary. Included in the report is some background information thought necessary in understanding the data. Finally, a brief description of the odor nuisance problem at NRL is described.
