An episode selection procedure was developed and applied to select sets of days representing characteristic meteorol. conditions leading to high ozone episodes over the Swiss Plateau. The selection procedure was applied to data extending from Jan. 1991 thr ...
The links between air pollution gas phase chem., aerosol chem. processes, and solar radiation are calcd. to improve air quality models. Air quality models are used to simulate pollutant content of the city plumes such as for Los Angeles. ...
The temporal and spatial retrieve of ozone (O3) concentration and water vapor (H2O) mixing ratio in the troposphere is of essential interest. Contrary to the stratospheric case, the tropospheric ozone can have a harmful impact, with its toxic effect, on hu ...
Many of our most severe problems of environmental pollution involve the Earth's atmosphere. The adverse effects of atmospheric pollution are particularly evident in the low troposphere, especially in urban/suburban areas where many sources contribute to th ...
All recent climatic projections for the next century suggest that we are heading towards a warmer climate than today (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; Fifth Assessment Report), driven by increasing atmospheric burdens of anthropogenic greenhouse ...
A new indicator is proposed to det. whether tropospheric O3 prodn. in a specific area is limited by volatile org. compds. (VOC) or NOx. This indicator, tVOCOH/tNOxOH, describes the ratio of OH- lifetime vs. losses by reaction with VOC and NOx. Whereas tNOx ...
A de-trending technique was developed for short-term and annual variations to identify long-term trends in primary and secondary pollutants. With this approach, seasonal and annual variations are removed using a mean year; the residual meteorol. short-term ...
We have reviewed the available scientific literature on how natural sources and the atmospheric fate of methane may be affected by future climate change. We discuss how processes governing methane wetland emissions, permafrost thawing, and destabilization ...
Forecasts for the NOx concentration levels in the Greater Athens area in 2004 are compared to the corresponding figures for 1990. Simulations are performed for two meteorological cases using four different dispersion models. Two different emission inventor ...
Formaldehyde is a primary and secondary air pollutant. As an intermediate product of hydrocarbon photooxidn., it contributes to the formation of photochem. pollution in urban areas. In addn., chronic or acute exposure to HCHO (a possible carcinogen) consti ...
