The Role of Vertical Mixing in the Temporal Evolution of Ground-Level Ozone Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft measurements taken during the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone-Northeast field study reveal the presence of ozone concentration levels in excess of 80 ppb on a regional scale in the nocturnal ...
An Examination of the MOS Objective Temperature Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the performance of the Model Output Statistics (MOS) objective temperature forecasting for Albany, NY, during the period 1975?81 is examined by using various statistical technique. Both paired and unpaired ...
Uncertainties in Episodic Ozone Modeling Stemming from Uncertainties in the Meteorological Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the uncertainty associated with photochemical modeling using the Variable-Grid Urban Airshed Model (UAM-V) with two different prognostic meteorological models. The meteorological fields for ozone episodes ...
Measurement and Prediction of Traffic-Induced Turbulence and Velocity Fields Near Roadways
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary objectives of this investigation are to determine the temporal and spacial resolution needed to adequately measure vehicle wake turbulence and the characteristics of turbulence near roadways using the knowledge ...
Spectral Characteristics of the Baroclinic Annulus Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports the results of a statistical study of the temperature field of several examples of regular wave, vacillating flow and irregular flow in a rotating annulus with a gap width of 10 cm using a limited number ...
Spectral Properties of the Baroclinic Waves in an Annulus with a Rigid Upper Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral characteristics of the temperature field associated with the baroclinic waves in a rotating annulus of water with a rigid upper surface are presented as an extension of Rao and Ketchum (1975). The results ...
Parameterization of Cloud Droplet Growth by Condensation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization scheme is developed to predict the supersaturation and the first two moments of predominantly maritime nuclei distributions during the condensation phase. The supersaturation and mean droplet growth ...
Observation-Based Assessment of the Impact of Nitrogen Oxides Emissions Reductions on Ozone Air Quality over the Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ozone is produced by chemical interactions involving nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. At high concentrations, ground-level ozone has been shown to be harmful to human health ...
