Tracking ozone: air-mass trajectories and pollutant source regions influencing ozone in Pennsylvania forests

Auteur :
COMRIE, A.C.

Description :
This study identifies those geographic regions with the greatest potential influence on forest ozone concentrations via a climatological analysis of air-mass trajectories. In this analysis, observed meteorological data and a trajectory model are used to calculate the spatial history of polluted air-masses. Multiple trajectories are examined using a newly adapted methodology of ensemble trajectory analysis in combination with ozone data and key synoptic weather patterns from a related climatology.
