Abstract As the widespread application of online instruments in atmospheric monitoring, an increasing number of studies such as source apportionment researches are based on the high-resolution online monitoring data. Accurate online monitoring data are very critical in the model evaluation as well. However, there is a very limited number of comparison studies investigating the quality of online monitoring data compared to the traditional offline filter-based data. In this study, two high-time resolved instruments, including In-situ Gas and Aerosol Composition and Xact, were applied to measure the water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) and trace elements in PM2.5, respectively, in Beijing during winter 2015. These online results were then compared with corresponding offline filter-based measurement for 8 ions and 13 trace elements. Good agreement (R2 > 0.8, 0.8
