Abstract
Data analysis of ambient atmospheric data focuses on the variations in values from the “typical” or average values of the measured variables. To provide a baseline for such studies, the concentrations of the major gaseous constituents of the atmosphere are summarized along with the physical and chemical characteristics of ambient particulate matter.
