Table 2.
Multi-linear regressions from the study period using collocated measurements at Del Paso Manor and T Street. Rows show the initial Pearson correlation coefficient (R2) between one AirBeam and the regulatory monitor, and the improvement with meteorological explanatory variables. REG indicates a regulatory monitor: 24-h filter-based Federal Reference Method sampler (FRM) for the third column and beta attenuation monitors (BAM) for the other four columns.
