3SAQS/WAQS Monitoring Network Assessments
The WAQS MNA Wiki contains links to supplementary materials for the 2017 WAQS MNA Final Report, as well as a meeting arcive for the WAQS MNA Workgroup. Materials for the 2014 3SAQS MNA are also provided in the wiki.

Correlation Analysis
Maps showing locations of highly correlatedmonitors, as defined in the MNA Report.Monitors correlated above regression criteria (R2>0.8, average concentration within 10%, 15% for NO2)

Tabular data
Monitor Correlation Tables
Monitor-to-monitor correlation analysis
Plot Archive
Plot Archive file name convention: monitor1_monitor2_parameter_R_D_N.png, where monitor1 and monitor2 are the IDs for the monitors being compared, parameter is monitored parameter, R is the correlation coefficient, D is the distance (km) between monitor pairs, and N is the number of data points in the comparison.
Correlograms
Plot Archive
Plot Archive file name convention: parameter_airshed_n.png, for example NO2_2_250.png refers to correlograms for NO2 monitors in airshed #2 using monitor pairs with at least 250 (n>=250) data points for comparison. Plots with "dw" have an inverse distance weighting function applied to the curve fit.
Representative Area
Gap Analysis
Maps showing monitor locations, O&G wells, population centers. PM2.5 maps show Class I Areas.
