OBS

The Sulfate Regional Experiment (SURE) was designed to investigate the behavior of airborne sulfur oxides and associated substances over the greater northeastern United States. The study area extended from eastern Kansas to the Atlantic seaboard and from mid-Alabama to southeastern Canada, an area of approximately 2,400 by 1,000 km. The study was motivated by concerns in the early 1970s that suspended sulfates impair human health when inhaled in a mixture of pollutant gases and other suspended particulate components. The primary objectives of the SURE project were: establish a regional air quality data base through measurements of several parameters at the ground and aloft with specified accuracy and precision, and evaluate the adequacy of the measurements selected for establishing the origins of the sulfur oxide particulate complex.
