Abstract: A one-dimensional transport model was developed to study the effects of radiative participation of elevated pollutant layers. Special features of the model include a turbulent kinetic energy model and a two-stream solar ...

Abstract: A two-stream solar radiation model was combined with a mixed-layer model to study the effects of absorbing aerosols on the thermal structure of the daytime convective boundary layer. A number of simulations were conducted ...

Abstract: The short-term effect of radiatively participating pollutants upon the temperature distribution in the boundary layer of the urban atmosphere is predicted. This is accomplished by constructing a mathematical model for ...

Abstract: In conjunction with a companion study, this paper discusses the pollutant dispersion as predicted by solving numerically the equations of a transient, one-dimensional transport model. The results show that while the radiative ...

Abstract: An unsteady two-dimensional transport model has been used to study the short-term effects of elevated pollutant layers on the temperature structure and pollutant dispersion in an urban planetary boundary layer. The effects ...

Abstract: Radiative transfer in a polluted urban atmosphere has been studied using a dynamic model. The diurnal nature of radiative transfer for summer conditions has been simulated for an urban area 40 km in extent and the effects ...
