Introduction
EPA scientists from the Office of Research and Development
(ORD) National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL)
have collaborated with NASA on a multiyear study aimed
at improving the monitoring capability of air pollution
measuring satellites in interpreting air quality conditions
near the earth's surface. The NASA-led mission — known
as "DISCOVER-AQ" — stands for Deriving Information on
Surface conditions from COlumn and VERtically resolved
observations relevant to Air Quality. The study resulted in
an extensive database of satellite, aircraft, and ground-based
measurements for gaseous air pollutants and particulate
matter over urban areas with persistent air quality problems.
Studies were conducted in Baltimore, MD (2011), San
Joaquin Valley, CA (2013), Houston TX (2013), and Denver,
CO (2014).
The final DISCOVER-AQ field mission occurred in July and
August 2014 in the Denver, CO region. The Denver field
study was led by Russell Long, Jim Szykman, and Rachelle
Duvall. The NASA-NERL collaboration was accomplished
under U.S. EPA/ORDs Air, Climate and Energy (ACE)
Research Program themes, "Emissions and Measurements
for Informing Policy Decisions", and "Changing the
Paradigm for Air Pollution Monitoring", as one of the five
ACE signature research projects. EPA scientists used this
DISCOVER-AQ field research activity, along with the
three previous ones, as a venue to analyze the performance
of FRMs and FEMs for both ozone andN02 outside of
laboratory and RTP test site conditions. DISCOVER-AQ
provided an unprecedented opportunity to collect data on
these new methods in four different ambient settings, while
also comparing them to data collected from small sensors for
these pollutants.
As part of the DISCOVER-AQ project, NASA aircraft made
a series of flights with scientific instruments on board to
measure gaseous and particulate pollution in the targeted
metropolitan areas. These aircraft measurements were taken
in concert with satellite and ground measurements to shed
light on how satellites can be used to understand pollutant
concentrations and distributions near the earth's surface. This
flight research activity will provide a greater understanding
of how the existing air-monitoring network funded by EPA
and run by states and local agencies can be used to improve
satellite observations. With improved ability to monitor
pollution from satellites, scientists can make better air quality
forecasts, more accurately determine sources of pollutants in
the air, and more closely determine fluctuations in emissions
levels. For more information on the DISCOVER-AQ
mission, consult the following resource: DISCOVER-AQ:
http ://disc over- aq. larc. nasa. gov.
NERL scientists will continue its collaboration with NASA
using data collected from DISCOVER-AQ to help plan for
their participation in a newly selected NASA satellite mission
called TEMPO, or Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring
of Pollution, which is expected to launch no earlier than
2018. This project involves building the first space-based
instrument to monitor major air pollutants across the North
American continent hourly during daytime. The instrument,
to be completed in 2017, will share a ride on a commercial
satellite as a hosted pay load to an orbit about 22,000 miles
above Earth's equator. Current methods utilize satellites
orbiting much closer to the earth's surface, allowing for
observations of atmospheric pollutants to be made only once
a day.

Summary of the DISCOVER-AQ
(Denver CO - 2014) Colorado Field Mission
For EPA, this DISCOVER-AQ field research activity focused
on assessing FRMs and FEMs for ozone (03) andN02,
while comparing their operational performance to each other
and to small sensors to determine how the measurement
characteristics and capabilities of small sensors compare to
regulatory monitoring methods. During DISCOVER-AQ,
EPA provided key ground-based (in-situ and remote sensing)
measurements at sites along the flight path of the project
aircraft. The results of the ambient evaluations of current
and potential regulatory methods for 03 and N02 will inform
current and future NAAQS reviews with respect to methods
used for NAAQS compliance monitoring. The evaluation
of small sensors for 03 and N02, along with the associated
'citizen science' monitoring, were leveraged during the
Denver DISCOVER-AQ field study. The information and
data in this EPA Technical Report documents the monitoring
equipment, monitoring configuration, monitoring site
locations, site and equipment points-of-contact, aircraft flight
path and flight plan information, etc., for the DISCOVER-
AQ Denver CO (2014) field monitoring activity. This report
was developed to preserve and document the key information
and details associated with the 2014 DISCOVER-AQ
field campaign in Denver CO. This report includes the
following details:
a.) Information on small sensor sites
b.)Ground site equipment by measurement type/categoiy
c.) Ground site monitoring equipment details
d.)Monitoring aircraft flight paths
e.) Monitoring aircraft flight plans
f.) Monitoring aircraft photographs
g.)Ground site location information (site owner,
longitude, latitude, altitude [ft and m])
h.) Site-to-site distance between monitoring locations
(south-to-north: by latitude)
i.) Points-of-contact for monitoring organizations (with
contact information)
j.) Points-of-contact for monitoring equipment
manufacturers (with contact information)
k.) Ground site information (site owner, address, site
contact, notes, photos)
The goal of this EPA Technical Report is to provide the
details of the 2014 DISCOVER-AQ field campaign in a
single reference document to facilitate the generation of
peer-reviewed, scientific journal article manuscripts that
will be written about this field activity. This ensures that
the important site and equipment configuration details are
preserved for this research project and that journal articles
written on this research effort use the same, consistent
information, derived from a single baseline source.
There were 28 ground monitoring site locations used in
the DISCOVER-AQ Denver field intensive. These sites
were visited during the week of 28 July 2014-01 Aug
2014 (Monday through Friday). The pattern for site visits
was to visit sites in geographic 'clusters' (sites located
in close proximity to each other) to minimize travel time
between sites and to reach the maximum number of sites
possible in the shortest amount of time. The information
about each site, including the instruments and the type
of measurements made at all 28 ground-based sites, is
provided in this report.
Given the project size, geographical scope, number and
diversity of ground-based and aircraft-based monitoring
equipment types, number and locations of monitoring sites,
number of different research teams and organizations,
the logistics of site setup, data collection, coordination of
the activities of multiple research teams, transportation
requirements, etc., recommendations are provided in this
report as a guide for planning and executing future field
campaigns similar to the 2014 DISCOVER-AQ field
campaign (Denver CO).

Recommendations for Future Large-Scope
Monitoring Field Intensives:
The planning, configuration, setup, and implementation
of a large intensive air pollution measurement field study
with more than two dozen sites located in multiple counties
having different topological, hydrological, and geographical
environments is a complex undertaking. Determining where
to site instruments, making provisions for change out and
storage of filters, ensuring that there are spare parts, tools, and
the details of data collection and dismantling of the applicable
sites at the end of the study is the primaiy focus of the
research team. During the term of the field study, a number
of research personnel, audit personnel, and other personnel
for various reasons will require access to one or more of the
sites. It is important that key information for each site be
maintained in a single document so that as site personnel
travel to and between the different study locations, they can
navigate from site to site and have contact information on
each site for access and in case of emergencies. Specific
recommendations for large, multi-site field studies,
such as the DISCOVER-AQ Denver field intensive, is
provided below:
1. Ensure that correct street/highway/road/address
designations are provided for all site locations (including
remote/rural/mountain-based sites) by state partners (e.g.,
Parkway [incorrect designation] vice Highway [correct
designation]; West Highway 123 or East Highway 123
[incorrect designation] vice State Highway 123 [correct
designation])
2. Provide physical landmarks/guidenosts as direction/
distance/location markers for sites located in remote/
rural/mountain-based sites that are not located in urban
areas or on numbered streets
3. Ensure that the correct citv/town/countv designation is
used for each site, regardless of location (e.g., Aurora
Colorado [incorrect designation] vice Watkins Colorado
[correct designation]; Jackson Reservoir [incorrect
designation] vice Jackson Lake State Park [correct
designation - Note: Jackson Reservoir is located inside of
Jackson Lake State Park)
4. Ensure that a point of contact and telephone number is
provided for each individual site, including remote/rural/
mountain-based sites
5. Ensure that when streets/highways/roads change names.
this information is provided to aid in location of sites
6. Ensure that when latitude and longitude coordinates are
provided for sites that they are provided in both decimal
degree format and degrees, minutes and seconds format
to facilitate use of both Google Earth and MapQuest for
location of remote/rural/mountain-based sites
7. Ensure that for remote/rural/mountain-based areas.
accurate and complete directions are provided to facilitate
location of site and site equipment (especially for sites
located in state and US national parks and grasslands,
which may consist of hundreds of acres/hectares)
8. Ensure that location to nearest hospital/medical facility is
provided for each individual site, including remote/rural/
mountain-based sites
9. Ensure that topographical map and hiking map/trail
information is provided for each mountain-based site
location, especially for sites located in state parks or US
National Forests andNational Grasslands (e.g., Arapaho
National Forest/Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests and
Pawnee National Grasslands [ARP])
10.Ensure that for remote/rural/mountain-based sites located
in state parks or US National Forests and National
Grasslands, the phone number and duty location for the
nearest state or US forest ranger is provided
11. Ensure for sites located in urbanized areas (e.g.,
downtown and/or office building complex [i.e., CAMP])
which may be indistinguishable from the surrounding
landscape/area, that specific directions are provided to the
exact building location

APPENDIX E
During the DISCOVER-AQ field study, EPA used the
opportunity to continue its evaluation of small, emerging
technology, air pollution sensors from a number of
manufacturers. These sensors were located with the standard
Federal Reference Method (FRM) and Federal Equivalent
Method (FEM) air pollution monitoring systems at the
following four DISCO VER-AQ sites in and around the
Denver area: NREL-Golden, BAO Tower, Denver-LaCasa,
and Denver 1-25 (Near-Roadway site). Co-locating the air
pollution sensors with the standard air pollution measurement
systems facilitates assessment of the sensors as compared to
FRM and FEM systems used to determine compliance with
the NAAQS for the six criteria air pollutants (Lead [Pb],
Carbon Monoxide [CO], Sulfur Dioxide [SOJ, Nitrogen
Dioxide [N02], Ozone [03], Particulate Matter [PM]). There
were three additional 'citizen science' sites where EPA
placed air pollution sensors to allow citizen participation
and increase awareness of air pollution levels in their
locations. The citizen science air pollution sensor sites were
located in the following three places: Colorado School of
Mines (Golden CO), a private residence (Golden CO), and
the EPA Region 8 Building (Denver CO). The equipment
configuration for each site is provided below.
