Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory in College Park, MD intend to award a purchase order to the University of Delaware School of Marine Sciences and Policy to service the Atmospheric Integrated Monitoring Network (AIRMoN) research site. In 1992, the Air Resources Laboratory began funding the (AIRMoN), a network designed to determine the effectiveness of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments in reducing deposition of various chemicals via atmospheric pathways and to address regional source-receptor issues. The wet deposition segment of the AIRMoN program is structured to answer many of the questions originally contemplated by MAP3S and mandated for NOAA to study as part of the Title IX of Clean Air Act Amendments. The University of Delaware station at Lewes, DE is a critical member of the AIRMoN precipitation network. In order to continue to generate useful data, the station must remain at the current location and must be managed by a competent operator who has unlimited access to the site. Moving the site would require at least one year of inter-comparison between the current site and the new site, followed by several months of data comparison and statistical comparison. A competent operator must follow all the approved protocols and be able to meet routine maintenance and troubleshooting requirements. Duties include: 1. Continue monitoring precipitation chemistry on a daily basis according to the methods specified by the AIRMoN Central Analytical Laboratory in Champaign, Illinois. This effort requires the following: a. Maintenance of the AIRMoN station located at the University of Delaware of Marine Science & Policy, in Lewes, DE, according to the NADP Site Selection and Installation Manual found at (http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/lib/archive/siteinst-a.pdf). 2. Operation of the Lewes, DE AIRMoN station according to the AIRMoN-wet site operator's manual found at (http://www.isws.illinois.edu/pubdoc/MP / ISWSMP- 184.pdf). a. Routine (at least weekly) maintenance of Aerochem Metris precipitation chemistry collector and manual & electronic precipitation gauges b. Collection of all precipitation samples on a daily basis, 365 days per year c. Conductivity and pH analysis for all precipitation samples with greater than 50 ml volume d. Packaging and shipping of samples according to NOAA AIRMoN protocols at least once per week In addition, operators shall be called upon to participate in AIRMoN program development efforts through telephone conference calls or formal meetings and to participate in special field studies and equipment testing programs.
