Monitoring site description Fig. (a) Satellite mapping of Taiwan. Fig. (b) The enlarged area in (a) shows the deployment of the three stations in central Taiwan.
Instrumental condition • Auto-GC system in monitoring station (Perkin-Elmer, USA)A cryogen-free sorbent trap (Peltier cooling device, -30)with dual columns and dual FIDs was configured to cope with wide volatility range of components. Excess water vapor is removed by Nafion dryer.Denas’ switchColumns : DB-1 (60m x 0.25mm x 1μm) C6-C12 PLOT (30m x 0.25mm x 8 μm) C2-C5
Aspect on data quality control • 56 target compounds with absolute concentration range 20 to 40 ppb C prepared by gravimetric method (Spctra gases). • The hourly measurement within a day comprised 23 ambient sample injections plus one standard gas injection.
Ethane, propane benzene benzene Isoprene
Conclusion • For species such as ethane and propane with relatively constant source characteristics, the change in mixing height is the dominant factor modulating abundance to reveal characteristic diurnal patterns. • Chemical removal is only important from the seasonal point of view, which together with temperature inversion caused the observed seasonal variations
