MBE indicates the tendency of the sensors to underestimate (negative MBE values) or overestimate (positive MBE values). 2 Mean Absolute Error (MAE): the absolute difference between the sensors and the reference instruments. The larger MAE values, the higher measurement errors as compared to the reference instruments. 3 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE): another metric to calculate measurement errors. 7 Discussion · The three Met One C-12 sensors' average data recovery was ~98.2%. · The absolute intra-model variability for the Met One C-12 sensors was ~15.03 ng/m3 · The Met One C-12 sensors showed strong correlations with the corresponding reference data (0.84 < R2 < 0.85, 1-hr mean). The sensors underestimated the BC mass concentrations as measured by Magee Scientific AE33 instrument. · No sensor calibration was performed by South Coast AQMD staff for this evaluation. · Laboratory chamber testing is necessary to fully evaluate the performance of these sensors under controlled T and RH conditions, and known target and interferent pollutants concentrations. · These results are still preliminary 8Microsoft PowerPoint for Microsoft 365
