Abstract: The short-term effect of radiatively participating pollutants upon the temperature distribution in the boundary layer of the urban atmosphere is predicted. This is accomplished by constructing a mathematical model for ...

Abstract: In conjunction with a companion study, this paper discusses the pollutant dispersion as predicted by solving numerically the equations of a transient, one-dimensional transport model. The results show that while the radiative ...

Abstract: Radiative transfer in a polluted urban atmosphere has been studied using a dynamic model. The diurnal nature of radiative transfer for summer conditions has been simulated for an urban area 40 km in extent and the effects ...

Abstract: Measurements from the FIRE 1991 cirrus cloud field experiment in the central United States are presented and analyzed. The first part focuses on cirrus microphysical properties. Aircraft 2D-probe in situ data at different ...

Abstract: Aerosol single scattering albedo ? (the ratio of scattering to extinction) is important in determining aerosol climatic effects, in explaining relationships between calculated and measured radiative fluxes, and in retrieving ...
