Observations and Modeling of Heavy Particle Deposition in a Windbreak Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents new observations of deposition of heavy particles (glass beads of gravitational settling velocity 8.7 cm s?1) within an undisturbed flow and within a flow disturbed by a porous windbreak fence. These ...
Ground-to-Air Gas Emission Rate Inferred from Measured Concentration Rise within a Disturbed Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In reference to previously observed concentrations of methane released from a source enclosed by a windbreak, this paper examines a refined ?inverse dispersion? approach for estimating the rate of emission Q from a small ...
Deducing Ground-to-Air Emissions from Observed Trace Gas Concentrations: A Field Trial with Wind Disturbance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Inverse-dispersion techniques allow inference of a gas emission rate Q from measured air concentration. In ?ideal surface layer problems,? where Monin?Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) describes the winds transporting the ...
The Use of Cumulative Monthly Mean Temperature Anomalies in the Analysis of Local Interannual Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Edmonton monthly mean temperature record has been examined using the concept of the cumulative high frequency monthly mean temperature anomaly, I. The time sequence of I is shown to exhibit bounded, oscillatory, ...
Deducing Ground-to-Air Emissions from Observed Trace Gas Concentrations: A Field Trial
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The gas emission rate Q from an artificial 36-m2 surface area source was inferred from line-average concentration CL measured by an open-path laser situated up to 100 m downwind. Using a backward Lagrangian stochastic (bLS) ...
