The objective of this program is to characterize aerosol and hydrocarbon concentrations at multiple locations in Houston, Texas, during the September 2006 intensive field operation of TexAQS II. We propose to do this by deploying a set of Proton Transfer Reaction- Mass Spectrometers (PTR-MS) at multiple locations in the Houston area. The continuous set of PTR-MS observations will be supplemented by canister samples to measure hydrocarbon species that cannot be measured by the PTRMS (e.g. ethylene) and also to provide a check against the PTR-MS measurements. While this project will be carried out primarily by scientists from Battelle Northwest Laboratory, Washington State University and Battelle Columbus Laboratories, we hope that other organizations will join us once we have access to a skyscraper and the basic sampling infrastructure is in place.
