In response to these concerns, a collaborative study was undertaken involving participants from AMEREN, U.S. Department of Army at Fort Leonard Wood, Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Purdue University, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington State University, Washington University (St. Louis), and the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. The Ozark Isoprene Experiment (OZIE) took place during July 1998 and included measurements of isoprene from the surface and aloft at several locations stretching from northeastern Oklahoma to southern Indiana Measurements were made along a balloon tethered to nearly 1000 m, surface footprint sites at five locations upwind of the balloon, surface sites in Illinois and Indiana, and from an aircraft flying at heights ranging from 300 to 1000 m over southern Illinois, southern Indiana, and southern Missouri. Preliminary analysis of the data indicates that daytime surface isoprene concentrations ranged from 1 to 36 ppbv, and isoprene concentrations measured at 600 m ranged from 0.4 to 6 ppbv. Conditions were favorable for the emission of isoprene, with daytime maximum temperatures exceeding 32°C on at least four days during the two-week study period. This paper provides an overview of the study design and describes measurements taken during the experiment. 1 ------- NERL-RTP-O-644 TECHNICAL REPORT DATA 1 REPORT NO. 60Q/A-99/045_ 4 TITLE AND SUBTITLE Overview of the Ozark isoprene experiment (OZIE) 5 REPORT DATE 6 PERFORMING ORGANIZATION CODE 7 AUTHOR(S) Thomas E.

The most abundant biogenic VOC is isoprene, with estimated annual emissions of 17 Tg. 5 Figure 1 shows that isoprene emissions estimated with the Biogenic Emissions Inventoiy System (BEIS2) are highest over the Ozark Plateau region of the central United States, and photochemical models using these emission estimates have predicted that isoprene concentrations may be as high as 100 ppbv over this region. Concerns have been raised because these large modeled isoprene values have not been corroborated with observed data. Because of the lack of isoprene measurements in this region and to address these concerns, a number of organizations from the academic, private, state, and federal sector collaborated in the Ozark Isoprene Experiment (OZIE) during the summer of 1998. Key participants and their responsibilities during OZW are listed in Table 1. The overall goal of OZIE was to provide spatial and temporal measurements of isoprene during meteorological conditions conducive to high isoprene emissions. Surface measurements were made near forested areas in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Elevated measurements were made using tethered balloons and an aircraft above the surface sites, and in Missouri up to five more surface sites were positioned upwind of the balloon. Other measurements collected in some locations included speciated VOCs, isoprene oxidation products, carbonyls, and meteorology. These data should help in evaluating isoprene emission estimates for this region and in evaluating isoprene concentrations simulated with photochemical grid models. The tethered balloon flux measurement technique 6 will be used to estimate landscape scale (5 - 50 krn 2 ) isoprene fluxes. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the field experiment. SITE DESCRIPTIONS As summarized in Table 2, measurements during OZIE were taken from eastern Oklahoma to southern. Indiana, with much of the study’s focus on south-central Missouri. Surface measurements were made near forested areas in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri as shown in Figure 2. Elevated measurements were made using tethered balloons and an aircraft above the surface sites, and in Missouri up to five more surface sites were positioned upwind of the balloon. These five surface sites were located in the emissions “footprint” of the tethered balloon at the primary site in Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri 1 and at individual sites in different forest types in southern Illinois (Giant City State Park> and in southern Indiana (Morgan-Monroe State Forest). The ground-based sites are expected to characterize near- surface conditions in these portions of the study domain Speciated VOC and some meteorological data were collected at all of these sites. The aloft measurements are expected to provide some information about the vertical profile of isoprene concentrations The tethered balloon measurements included speciated VOC and carbonyl data The aircraft made grab samples of VOC and transects of ozone across the study area Further descriptions of each site are given below Illinois surface site The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (TEPA) operated a surface measurement site in Jackson 2 ------- County in Giant City State Park (37°4T N, 89°14’ W), which is located about 13 km south of Carbondale, Illinois. Approximately 33% of Jackson County is forested, and oak (a high isoprene emitter) comprises about 20% of the forested area. The site was located in a small (-4600 m 2 ) clearing, with forests located to the south and southwest. VOCs were sampled via stainless steel canisters, and gas chromatographic (GC) analysis was performed by IEPA personnel. A total of 40 samples were collected on fourteen days. Many (13 out of 40) of the hourly samples were collected at 2 p.m. CDT, and all of the samples were taken during daylight hours between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. Two samples were taken during the early morning transition period (6 a.m. - 8 a.m.), and two samples were taken during the evening transition period (6 p.m. - 8 p.m.). Preliminary analysis of the Illinois data indicates a mean isoprene concentration of 7 ppbv, ranging from I to 15 ppbv. The VOC sampler used dunng the experiment is a manual passive grab sampling device designed around a critical orifice and a back flow pressure regulator. When attached to a certified clean evacuated canister, about a 1-hour sample is collected at a steady flow rate of about 60 cc/minute. Just under atmospheric pressure is reached at the end of the sampling period. A check valve allows flow in one direction to the evacuated canister, which protects the collected sample until the green handled valve on the grab sampling device and the valve on the canister are manually closed. Meteorological data for the Illinois site are available from the Southern Illinois University Climate Network (ICN) site, located about 11 km northwest of Giant City State Park. Measured parameters include temperature, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, soil temperature, soil moisture, dew point temperature, precipitation, pressure and relative humidity. Additional meteorological data are available from a National Atmospheric Deposition Program site located at the University of Illinois Dixon Springs Agricultural Center, which is approximately 50 km southeast of Giant City State Park. Indiana surface site The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) operated a surface measurement site in Monroe County within the Morgan-Monroe State Forest (39°19’ N, 86°23’ 1W), which is located about 50 km south of Indianapolis. Approximately 48% of Monroe County is forested, and - 27% of the forestcd land consists of oak. The surface measurement site was located in a small clearing near the Indiana University astronomical observatory. The secondary balloon was flown from a small clearing next to the observatory on July 13, 1998. The total clearing for the observatory is approximately 40 m x 60 m. The open area north of the observatory is approximately 40 m x 30 m. The trees surrounding the clearing are about 15 m in height The observatory is a one-story building with two telescope domes extending approximately 5 m above the building. The building is fenced, generally 3 m from the walls, plus an open area about 10 m x 10 m, which is used for vehicle access. The canister sampler was located inside the fence and outdoor power was provided. The sampler, which is similar to the Illinois design, was inside a small enclosure approximately 1 m 3 . Probe height was about 3 m above the ground. VOC samples were taken via stainless steel canisters, and GC analysis was performed by IDEM personnel. A total of 25 samples were collected on 13 days. Slightly more than half (56%) of the hourly samples were taken at 2 p.m EST, and all the samples were taken between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST. Preliminary analysis of the Indiana data indicates a mean isoprene concentration of 6 ppbv, ranging from 2 to 15 ppbv Missouri surface “footprint” sites Washington University, under contract to AMEREN, operated three sets of isoprene emission “footprint” measurement sites: (1) within Ft. Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, (2) within the Mark Twain National Forest near Willow Springs in Howell County, and (3) within the Sinkin Creek 3 ------- wilderness area in the Mark Twain National Forest near the border of Dent and Iron County. The surface measurements were made within a 10 - 15 km 2 “footprint” area upwind of the tethered balloon site. VOC samples were taken via stainless steel canisters and carbonyl samples via cartridges, with GC analysis performed by Washington State University. A total of 92 samples were collected during nine days. Most of the measurements were taken during daylight hours, with 62% of the measurements being made between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. CDT. About one-fourth (24%) of the measurements were made during the morning (6- 8 a.m.) and evening (6 - 9 p.m.) transitional periods. Preliminary analysis of the surface data indicates a mean isoprene concentration of 12 ppbv, ranging from 2 to 36 ppbv. Surface meteorological data were collected at the tethered balloon site by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Measured parameters included photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), temperature, and relative humidity. The Department of the Defense operates a low-level SODAR at Ft. Leonard Wood, which can provide vertical wind proflEes. Ft. Leonard Wood also has additional meteorological monitoring data as part of a State of Missouri Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit. These data are being archived by the State of Missouri Department of Natural Resources Tethered balloons The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) primarily operated a tethered balloon system at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. NCAR also deployed smaller balloon systems at two other sites in southeastern Missouri (Sinkin Creek and Willow Springs), the Illinois surface site, the Indiana surface site, and in northeastern Oklahoma. Three to six samplers were deployed at heights ranging to 1000 m along the tether of each balloon, including one at ground level. Samples were collected on solid adsorbent traps and transported to Boulder, CO for analysis using GC-mass spectrometry/atomic emission detection (MSIAED) and GC-flame ionization detection (FID) Targeted compounds included isoprene and its oxidation products (methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein). Approximately 25 flights were made during nine different days. Meteorological data collected aloft at the balloon sites included temperature and relative humidity measured with each sampler package. Data from NCAR should be submitted to the preliminary data archive for internal study review during the spring of 1999. Aircraft R. Jacko (Purdue University) operated a Cessna (1210) twin engine aircraft and collected ozone, VOC, and carbonyl concentration data. The aircraft was based in West Lafayette, Indiana, and took VOC and carbonyl grab samples over the surface sites at Ft. Leonard Wood, Giant City State Park, and Morgan- Monroe State Forest. Grab samples were typically taken at a height of— 600 m. VOC samples were analyzed by the IEPA, and carbonyl samples were analyzed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. A total of2l VOC/carbonyl samples were collected on seven days. Preiiminary analysis indicates a mean isoprene concentration of 2 ppbv, ranging from 0 4 to 6 ppbv. A typical flight plan during the experiment consisted of the following (1) West Lafayette to Study AreaS Depart at 1000 CDT and fly “dolphin” maneuvers between 150 - 600 m above ground level (agi) at a ground speed of—’70 ms’ Make Continuous measurements of ozone concentration (2) Study Area Arrive Ft. Leonard Wood at 1215 CDT, land, refuel, takeoff, and take a grab sample Then fly to Giant City State Park (1440-1500 CDT) and Morgan-Monroe State Forest (1620-1640 CDT) Grab sampling was made while flying a “race track” pattern centered mostly upwind, but 4 ------- enclosing the surface Site of interest (Ft. Leonard balloon/surface footprint site, Illinois surface site, and Indiana surface site). Approximate dimensions of the “race track” were about 10 km long and 5 km across. The flight level was — 00 m. (3) Study Area to West Lafayette: Depart area over final surface site and resume “dolphin” maneuvers. Return to base about 1830 CDT. FIELD STUDY OPERATIONS Beginning July 1, 1998, a daily conference call was held for the purpose of identifying intensive sampling days. The call occurred at 11:00 am CDT (noon EDT) on a special conference line established by USEPA. The calls began with a brief review of meteorological conditions in the study area. Meteorologists from the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri provided this review. Each study participant then reported on his/her readiness for sampling. USEPA and LADCO, along with the field personnel, then determined whether intensive sampling should be performed the following day. A status recording was updated each day, and study participants were given an e-mail update on a daily basis. The decision to conduct intensive sampling the following day was based on the forecasted weather conditions and the readiness of the study participants. The preferred sampling conditions consisted of sunny skies and high temperatures (> 30°C), generally associated with a region of high pressure. Over a several day period, these conditions favored the build-up of regional ozone concentrations and the degradation of visibility. However, these conditions were also conducive to thunderstorms, which occasionally altered sampling schedules by the tethered balloon and aircraft crews. In addition, sampling at Ft. Leonard Wood had to be coordinated closely with the Department of Army who was actively engaged in artillery, aircraft, and small-arms training exercises near the surface “footprint” and tethered balloon sites. METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS A summary of the meteorological conditions in southern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana during OZIE is provided below. July 6-12, 1998 Dunng the early part of the week, clouds and showers associated with a stationary warm front covered much of the study area. Field personnel and equipment were in place by Wednesday (July 8). On Thursday (July 9), although forecasted conditions were less than desirable (chance of showers, northerly winds, and maximum temperatures around 30°C), a decision was made to proceed with a test sampling day. On Friday through Sunday, clouds and showers continued to affect parts of the study area. Because of this, and temperatures less than —28°C and northerly flow from a high pressure system located over the Great Lakes, no more special sampling was conducted this week July 13-19, 1998 The continued period of unsettled weather hampered field operations as the small balloon system was scheduled to sample near the Indiana and Illinois sites during the early part of the week. However, a decision was made to proceed with balloon and ground-based sampling at these sites, regardless of weather conditions, because of the balloon’s limited availability in Indiana and Illinois. On Monday (July 13), the weather improved slightly with clearing skies and temperatures reaching about 30°C, although the winds were easterly. Special sampling continued on Tuesday (July 14), although conditions began to deteriorate due to an intense upper level low pressure system Clouds and showers 5 ------- associated with the upper level low affected the eastern part of the study area, which produced generally poor sampling conditions for the small balloon. By Thursday (July 16), skies began to clear in the western part of the study area (around Ft. Leonard Wood) and temperatures reached 30°C. Limited special sampling was conducted on Thursday. Conditions further improved on Friday (July 17), but the flow remained northerly. Given the similarity of these marginal conditions to previous sampling days and the forecast for ideal conditions (temperatures up to 37°C, southerly flow, and clear skies) for several days beginning on Saturday (July 18), a decision was made to delay any special sampling until the weekend. On Saturday, the upper level ridge began to build over the study area. Skies were generally clear, winds were southerly, and maximum temperatures approached 35 °C. With an outlook for continued favorable conditions for the next several days, a 5-day period of special sampling began on Saturday. On Sunday (July 19), maximum temperatures increased slightly and approached 37°C. July 20-26, 1998 The upper level ridge remained in place into the early part of the last week of the study, as the very hot weather persisted on Monday (July 20) and Tuesday (July 21). These days were similar to Sunday (July 19), with sunny skies, southerly winds, and maximum temperatures of —37°C. These conditions continued into Wednesday, but by late in the day, a weak cold front began to sag down from the north, bringing welcome relief from the heat. The 5-day penod of special sampling ended on Wednesday (July 22). On Thursday and Friday, there were clouds arid showers associated with the front over much of the study area and maximum temperatures were only —27°C QUALITY ASSURANCE AND DATA MANAGEMENT Several quality assurance procedures were implemented during the field program. Intercomparisons were performed between the various VOC measurements. A footpnrit sampler was located beside a near-surface tethersonde cartridge. In addition, tethersonde cartridges were located beside the Indiana and Illinois VOC samplers, when the small balloon made measurements at these locations. Comparisons were also made between the aircraft and the tethersonde, as the highest tethersonde cartridge was flown at approximately the same elevation (—800 in) as the aircraft grab sample In addition, three sets of canister samples were di’rculated between the three surface VOC sampling groups to provide for analytical intercompairson Several on-ground program audits and one aloft intercomparison were performed for the Jacko aircraft The on-ground audits were conducted on April 29 by IEPA, May 15 by WDNR; August 13 by [ EPA and WDNR; September 15 by ]DEM; September 18 by WDNR; and September28 by IEPA. The aloft intercomparison was conducted on July 1, 1998 with an aircraft operated by the State of Wisconsin. The initial level of data validation is the responsibility of each measurement group. These groups are submitting their data to an internal data archive in flat ASCII or EXCEL computer files for further review and intercomparison by the OZIE study team Afler the team completes its review during the fall of 1999, the data will be made available to the public via anonymous ftp. FUTURE PLANS In the short term, analysis and quality assurance of the VOC and carbonyl data collected during OZIE will continue By the spring of 1999, the tethersonde data will be available for review by the OZIE study group. Further analysis will be performed on the data to see if inferred isoprene flux values agree with the isoprene emission fluxes estimated with inventories such as BEIS2 In addition, 6 ------- LADCO and USEPA/ORD are each planning to model the July 1998 period with photochemical grid models, and to compare the model predictions of isoprene with isoprene observed during the study. It is hoped that additional collaboration will take place with groups involved with the Texas Isoprene Experiment (TXIE) and the Program for Research on Oxidants: PHotochemistry, Emissions, and Transport (PROPHET) study in northern Michigan, both of which made isoprene measurements during the summer of 1998.
