Quality Assurance for RESOLVE (Research on Operations-Limiting Visual Extinction). A Visibility Study in the California Desert.

Abstract

The objective of RESOLVE is: to understand the effects of present air pollution sources on visibility in the testing region airspace (R2508 airspace), and to identify the major pollutant sources and transport routes that contribute to visibility degradation. Another aim is to determine baseline and spatial and temporal variability and trends for atmospheric visibility, aerosol characteristics, and related meteorological parameters in the study area, with special emphasis on selected locations at the military facilities. This report focuses on the role and effect of quality assurance activities in the routine monitoring portion of the project. Data recovery statistics for the initial 10 months of operation are presented, along with precision and stability estimates for nephelometers and teleradiometers.
