This document is the first edition of the PAMS Data Analysis "Results"
Report (EPA-454/R-96-006), a summary and compilation of
salient examples and illustrations of the uses of data from the
Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) program. The Report
utilizes examples of analyses available at the time of its development
and contains no independent or "new" analyses. However, this Report will
be updated periodically and will include the results of future analyses
performed by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS)
and others. The Report summarizes the current state of PAMS data
analysis as a vehicle for transferring the resultant techniques and
insights, and encouraging a dialogue among analysts using the data. This
report is intended to capture the best examples of the uses of PAMS data
to understand the tropospheric ozone issue and to motivate regulatory
and control program activity. Although the design is to show "what can
be done" with PAMS data, the hope is that these examples will also serve
to catalyze a commitment to making full use of this rich data set, to
instruct those interested in analyzing the data and to, some degree,
help guide those endeavors. In no case, have all existing examples been
used. Instead, those of greatest illustrative power or unique character
have been chosen for inclusion.
