The Fresno Supersite in Fresno, California, USA, acquires in situ 5- to 60-min average PM2.5 organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and total carbon (TC) measurements by the following methods: (1) thermal evolution carbon analyzer for organic, elemental, and total carbon; (2) single-wavelength and seven-color aethalometer for black carbon (BC); and (3) photoionization for particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Twenty-four-hour average PM2.5 filter-based measurements include (1) nondenuded quartz filters with no backup filter in a PM2.5 Federal Reference Method (FRM) sampler; (2) quartz filters behind an organic carbon denuder with a quartz backup filter in a Reference Ambient Aerosol Sampler (RAAS); (3) nondenuded quartz filters with backup filter in a RAAS; and (4) nondenuded quartz filters with no backup filter in a sequential filter sampler. Filter samples are analyzed after sampling by the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) thermal/optical reflectance carbon analysis protocol. Collocated measurements are examined for year 2000. Measurement equivalence is found for PM2.5 mass, light transmission, and TC between the FRM and RAAS speciation samplers. The average ratios of front filter carbon between the denuded and nondenuded channels in the RAAS sampler are 0.83 ¿ 0.19 for TC, 0.81 ¿ 0.20 for OC, and 1.01 ¿ 0.33 for EC. The average differences for TC and OC are low (1.2 to 1.4 ¿g m-3) and are comparable to the measurement uncertainties. Continuous thermal evolution carbon measurements are not comparable to filter measurements. Aethalometer BC and filter EC are highly correlated, but filter EC is consistently 20--25% higher than continuous aethalometer BC. Pairwise comparisons show filter EC measurements acquired in this study are predictable from aethalometer BC measurements.
