An Intercomparison of Isentropic Trajectories over the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have compared isentropic trajectories computed from meteorological fields from different analysis centers. The analysis was performed for the South Atlantic, where a springtime maximum in tropospheric ozone has ...
Tropical Deep Convection and Ozone Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Theoretical studies, aircraft, and space-borne measurements show that deep convection can be an effective conduit for introducing reactive surface pollutants into the free troposphere. The chemical consequences of convective ...
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, ...
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 ...
The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) Field Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field experiment produced an exceptional dataset on thunderstorms, including their dynamical, physical, and electrical structures and their impact on the chemical composition ...
