Exploratory Source Apportionment of Houston's Clinton Drive Auto-GC
1998-2001 Data - This project was an exploratory
investigation into the use of receptor-based models with Auto GC
data in the Houston Ship Channel area. STI developed a database of
Auto-GC data from the Clinton Drive site (1998 - 2001) for use in
Positive Matrix Factorization. Fifteen different source types were
found by their composition fingerprints, temporal characteristics,
and wind-direction dependencies. (May 2003)
