The day before the 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
