The Area of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex as a Diagnostic for Tracer Transport on an Isentropic Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data retrieved from the LIMS (Limb lnfrared Monitor of the Stratosphere) experiment are used 10 calculate daily isentropic distributions of Ertel's potential vorticity, ozone, water vapor and nitric acid at the 850 K level ...
Stability of the Surface Layer and Its Relation to the Dispersion of Primary Pollutants in St. Louis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of atmospheric stability in the lowest 30 m in characterizing the dispersion of the primary pollutants CO, NO and hydrocarbons is investigated using the 1976 air quality data set for St. Louis. Stability is ...
Estimation of Synoptic Fields of Middle Atmosphere Parameters from Nimbus-7 LIMS Profile Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most widely used version of the Nimbus-7 LIMS middle atmosphere dataset is the set of high quality, daily, and zonal Fourier coefficients that resolve information out to six wavenumbers at 12 UTC. A Kalman filter ...
