Abstract

The Northeast Oxidant and Particle Study (NEOPS) is an investigation of meteorological and chemical processes that control the evolution of air pollution episodes in near-urban environments. NEOPS is part of the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) and its main sampling site is located just northeast of center city Philadelphia. Intensive observing campaigns (IOPs) were carried out at this location during the summer seasons of 1998, 1999 and 2001. In July of 2002, a continuation of this project, under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Department of Environment Protection (DEP), was carried out. This paper summarizes the meteorological conditions encountered during the 2002 IOP and provides a preliminary analysis of several pollution episodes during that period.
