Upper Green Winter Ozone Study Upper Green Winter Ozone Study (UGWOS)(UGWOS)
• Upper Green River Wintertime Ozone Study – UGWOS 2007• Lack of snow and no elevated ozone episodes • Learned enough for planning future years
• UGWOS 2008• Significant elevated ozone observed• Documented spatial scale of problem and developed
conceptual model• UGWOS 2009, 2010
• Focused on additional chemistry• Improved mesonet monitoring coverage and
communications

Long-line MeasurementsLong-line Measurements• Dedicated 5/16” ID Teflon® tubing to
minimize pressure drop within line at 4 lpm
• Four levels, with worst-case residence time of 20 seconds• Tower – 4m, 25m, 50m, 75m• Tethered Balloon – 4m, 33m, 67m, 100m

Long-line MeasurementsLong-line Measurements• Using solenoid control, sampling switches
sequentially to next level every 3 minutes• First two minutes used to purge lines and
allow analyzers to stabilize to new sample pressure and concentrations (most critical for THC analzyer)
• Final minute averaged• Thus, 12 minute cycle, with each hour
consisting of five 1-minute averages
