This document outlines the definitions and formulas used for validating aerosol sulfate (SO4) data. The sulfate concentration is represented as SO4fVal, and sulfur is denoted as SfVal. The Z-score is calculated using the formula Z.Score = ([SO4] - 3*[S]) / √(σSO4² + (3*σS)²), where σSO4 and σS represent the reported uncertainties for sulfate and sulfur, respectively. All measurements are given in µg/m³, with values below the minimum detection limit (mdl) highlighted in red.

Data Validation Charts for Aerosol Sulfate Definitions: Sulfate: SO4fVal = [SO4] Sulfur: SfVal = [S] Z Score = ([SO4] -3*[S])/√(σSO42+(3* σS)2) Where σSO4 = Reported [SO4] uncertainty σS = Reported [S] uncertainty All concentrations in units of ug/m3 Values below mdl are shown in red
