IMPROVE Carbon Issues and
Trends Workshop |
October 20, 2010 |
Stevenson, WA |
|
The day before the 2010 IMPROVE steering committee meeting, a workshop was
held to explore the fine particulate carbon concentrations measured in the
IMPROVE and CSN monitoring networks. The workshop was focused on the spatial
and long-term patterns in the organic, elemental and total carbon
measurements as well as potential carbon measurement issues and their
effects on the carbon concentration patterns. |

Summary of Urban Visibility Workshop and Presentations |
October 6-8, 2008 |
NPS-ARD, Denver
Colorado |
|
On October 6-8, 2008, the U.S. EPA’s Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) held an expert workshop on urban
visibility preferences and valuation to identify and discuss methods and
materials that could be used in “next step” projects to develop additional
information about people’s preferences for reducing existing impairment of
urban visibility, and about the value of improving urban visibility. This
document summarizes findings from this workshop and contains some of the
presentations. |

IMPROVE - CSN Carbon PM
Monitoring Workshop |
January 22-24, 2008 |
University of
California, Davis, CA |
|
The ultimate goal of the workshop is to develop an action plan (18 to
24-month) to generate and assess the information required to meet the
following needs.
1. Consistent approach for carbonaceous PM data artifact adjustment
for both IMPROVE and CSN (new CSN monitoring methodologies, and if possible
to back-adjust the old methodology data).
2. Algorithm that relates the IMPROVE (old and new analyzers) to the
CSN (old methodology) carbonaceous PM data sets
3. Algorithm that relates the old and new IMPROVE analyzer data sets |

WESTAR, NPS & EPA EOG Visibility Monitoring Data Analysis Workshop |
August 2001 |
Colorado State
University |
|
WESTAR’s Western
Region Training Center, in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS),
and EPA OAQPS’s Education and Outreach Group (EOG), hosted this workshop for
air quality staff. The emphasis of the workshop was on helping state agency
monitoring/data analysis staff become familiar with IMPROVE and other
visibility monitoring data and techniques for manipulating the data to
support regional haze rule SIP development. The training is intended for air
staff and was open to state & local air regulatory air staff and EPA & FLM
staff. |
