Effects of Diurnal Variations and Scattering on Ozone in the Stratosphere for Present-Day and Predicted Future Chlorine Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect on ozone of diurnal variations in the concentrations of chlorine, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen compounds was studied with a diurnal integration of the photochemical equations at 30° latitude. The vertical ...
The Transport of Trace Chemicals by Planetary Waves in the Stratosphere. Part 1: Steady Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When dissipation is present a forced planetary wave will interact with the zonal flow in the stratosphere and cause acceleration of the zonal wind, mean-zonal diabatic heating and net transport of trace chemicals. ...
The Transport of Trace Chemicals by Planetary Waves in the Stratosphere Part 2: Transport of O3 and N2O by Transient Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transport of ozone and nitrous oxide by transient planetary wave in the stratosphere is studied on a midlatitude ?-plane with Newtonian cooling. The transport is found for chemically-inert traces when the mean-zonal ...
Spatial Variability of Total Ozone at High Latitudes in Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spatial variability of total ozone at high latitudes in winter is explained by the vertical structure of planetary-scale waves. The location of the maximum in total ozone is governed by the phase shift with height of ...
The Diurnal Variation of Minor Constituents in the Stratosphere and Its Effect on the Ozone Concentration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical distribution of ozone at the equator was studied by means of a diurnal integration of the photochemical equations with the sum of the nitrogen oxides specified as a function of height and ozone assumed to be ...
Comparison of a Doppler Sodar with Bivanes and Cup Anemometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A commercial Doppler sodar was operated near a 300-m tower instrumented with bivanes and cup anemometers. Sodar measurements of wind speed and direction and a turbulence variable (σw) were compared with tower measurements ...
Measurements of the Skin Temperature on Small Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An apparatus to measure the skin temperature and related variables on inland lakes is described. The apparatus is a transparent frame with sensors to measure the skin and bulk water temperature, the wind velocity, and the ...
An Observational and Numerical Study of the Nocturnal Sea Breeze. Part II: Chemical Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Chemical transport at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina during nocturnal sea-breeze passage is examined using simulations from a three-dimensional mesoscale dynamic model [(RAMS) Regional Atmospheric Modeling ...
An Observational and Numerical Study of the Nocturnal Sea Breeze. Part I: Structure and Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Characteristics of inland-penetrating nocturnal sea breezes at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina are discussed. Detailed observations from an area tower network during the Stable Boundary Layer Experiment ...
Evaluation and Uncertainty of Radioxenon Transport with a Mesoscale Model after the February 2013 Underground Test in North Korea
