Additional Analysis of Altitude Profile l Species/fine volume median of 500m bins. l Little change in fraction for sulfate and biomass- derived WSOC. l Increase in WSOC/fine volume fraction with altitude.
Charge Balance Along Altitude l Measured aerosol ionic components generally in charge balance (especially at high alt) l Many events where net charge is negative – driven by sulfate, and most frequently at low alt. (i.e. excess sulfate not balanced by ammonium) l Transient events of positive net charge during biomass events – suggest unmeasured organic acid as anion pair (to NH 4
