dc.description.abstractA graphical system was developed to represent airborne air quality monitoring data. The representations developed included three—dimensional spatial mapping, percentage and frequency distributions, and altitude—based scatter diagrams. Elementary statistical analyses and correlations of the measured parameters were also performed. Data gathered in eight flights to the Shenandoah National Park during the summer months of 1981 were analyzed. Sulfur dioxide levels were found to be in the 5 - 15 ppb range, nitrogen oxides were in the 4 — 10 ppb range, nitrous oxide was in the 2 - 5 ppb range, nitrogen dioxide was in the 2 - 5 ppb range, ozone was in the 35 - 70 ppb range and visual range was in the 5 — 90 mile range. The data representation system proved to be an easier and more useful method of displaying the data than the previously existing system.en
