Bar plots show 20 largest contributors as determined using the tracers. All smaller contributors are lumped together and labeled “rest”. Results today are for sulfate and nitrate, and for January and July. Contributions at Receptor Sites
Plots are prepared for average tracer contributions for each day at each site. Results summarized here as: Average contribution for 1 month Average contributions on the best and worst 20% modeled visibility days during the month. Bext is used to select best & worst days.
