The goal of this paper is to evaluate the accuracy of the commonly used ozone (O3) instrument (the ultraviolet (UV) photometer) against a Federal Reference Method (Nitric Oxide –chemiluminescence) for ozone measurement in wildfire smoke plumes. We carried out simultaneous ozone measurement with two UV O3photometers and one nitric oxide–chemiluminescence (NO-CL) ozone detectors during wildfire season (Aug. 1–Sept. 30) in 2015 at the Mount Bachelor Observatory (MBO, 2763 m above mean sea level, Oregon, USA). The UV O3shows good agreement and excellent correlation to NO-CL O3, with linear regression slopes close to unity and R2of 0.92 for 1-h average data and R2of 0.93 for O3daily maximum 8-h average (MDA8). During this two-month period we identified 35 wildfire events. Ozone enhancements in those wildfire plumes measured by NO-CL O3and UV O3monitors also show good agreement and excellent linear correlation, with a slope and R2of 1.03 and 0.86 for O3enhancements (ΔO3) and 1.00 and 0.98 for carbon monoxide (CO)-normalized ozone enhancement ratios (ΔO3/ΔCO), respectively. Overall, the UV O3was found to have a positive bias of 4.7 ± 2.8 ppbv compared to the NO-CL O3. The O3bias between NO-CL O3and UV O3is independent of wildfire plume tracers such as CO, particulate matter (PM1), aerosol scattering, and ultrafine particles. The results demonstrate that the UV O3absorbance method is reliable, even in highly concentrated wildfire plumes.
