How to Integrate PMF Results?

• Review of day to day results with either monitoring data or modeling data?– PMF indicates that nearly all carbon is smoke

related, but the model tells a different story

• Use summary maps for regional analysis• Use daily/annual pie charts to estimate

urban influences• Link to more detailed data on the DRI web

site
