Modification of a Commercial Gas Filter Correlation CO Detector for Enhanced Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Carbon monoxide is important in tropospheric chemsitry and useful in studies of cloud dynamics, yet measurements of this gas, especially from aircraft, are too few to characterize fully the atmospheric sources, sinks and ...
Impact of Upstream Urbanization on the Urban Heat Island Effects along the Washington–Baltimore Corridor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough there has been considerable research on urban heat island (UHI) effects, most of the previous studies have attributed UHI effects to localized, surface processes. In this study, the impact of upstream urbanization ...
Roles of Urban Tree Canopy and Buildings in Urban Heat Island Effects: Parameterization and Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rban heat island (UHI) effects can strengthen heat waves and air pollution episodes. In this study, the dampening impact of urban trees on the UHI during an extreme heat wave in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, ...
Airborne Characterization of the Chemical, Optical, and Meteorological Properties, and Origins of a Combined Ozone-Haze Episode over the Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne observations of trace gases, particle size distributions, and particle optical properties were made during a constant altitude transect from New Hampshire to Maryland on 14 August 2002, the final day of a multiday ...
Impact of Bay-Breeze Circulations on Surface Air Quality and Boundary Layer Export
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eteorological and air-quality model simulations are analyzed alongside observations to investigate the role of the Chesapeake Bay breeze on surface air quality, pollutant transport, and boundary layer venting. A case study ...
