Organic aerosol composition and sources in Pasadena, California, during the 2010 CalNex campaign

TL;DR: In this paper, five organic aerosols (OA) components are identified using positive matrix factorization including hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) and two types of oxygenated OA(OOA) components, and the Pasadena OA elemental composition when plotted as H:C versus O:C follows a line less steep than that observed for Riverside, CA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diurnal tracking of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions in the Los Angeles basin megacity during spring 2010

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used in situ CO2, CO, and planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) measurements recorded during the CalNex-LA ground campaign of 15 May-15 June 2010, in Pasadena, CA, to deduce the diurnally varying anthropogenic component of observed CO2 in the megacity of Los Angeles (LA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the formation and aging of secondary organic aerosols during CalNex 2010

TL;DR: In this article, four different literature parameterizations for the formation and evolution of urban secondary organic aerosol (SOA) frequently used in 3-D models are evaluated using a 0-D box model representing the Los Angeles metropolitan region during the California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) 2010 campaign.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurements of Hydroxyl and Hydroperoxy Radicals during CalNex‐LA: Model Comparisons and Radical Budgets

TL;DR: In this paper, the laser-induced fluorescence-fluorescence assay by gas expansion technique was used to measure hydroxyl (OH) and hydroperoxy (HO2*) radical concentrations at the Pasadena ground site during the CalNex-LA 2010 campaign.
