NARSTO Measurement Methods Compendium

Welcome to the NARSTO Measurement Methods Compendium!

• This compendium is a convenient reference source for state-of-the-art atmospheric measurement techniques for ozone, ozone precursors, aerosol precursors, particulate matter, and meteorological parameters.
• The compendium covers measurements made by in situ or remote sensing techniques, continuous and discrete measurements, and is intended to support method applications ranging from routine monitoring at the state or county level to the latest R&D methods.
• Methods descriptions are provided as a service to NARSTO scientists selecting methodologies and preparing standard operating procedures for their projects, as a general reference to the extended atmosphe ric sciences community, and as a resource to potential developers of new technologies.
