Atmospheric Analysis: Gas Chromatography
The determination of both naturally produced and anthropogenic organic species in the atmosphere is a key area in atmospheric chemistry research. Nearest to the earth’s surface, within the boundary layer of the troposphere, the determination of hydrocarbon species is important because of their ability to react rapidly with NOx in the presence of sunlight to form photochemical smog. At the other...
متن کاملGas phase atmospheric bromine photochemistry
This paper reviews the current knowledge of gas phase bromine photochemistry and presents a budget study of atmospheric bromine species. The effectiveness of the ozone catalytic loss cycles involving bromine is quantified by considering their chain length and effectiveness. The chain effectiveness i a new variable defined as the chain length multiplied by the rate of the cycle's rate-limiting s...
متن کاملWavelets for Atmospheric Gas Analysis
Atmospheric CO2, CH4, and CO are measured in a variety of locations across Canada. The wavelet transform is used to find points of interest, such as the daily carbon cycle, as well as longer term oscillations. Wavelet coherence finds patterns linking the sequences around 7 to 10 day oscillations, mostly during the summer. The daily CO2 cycle is stronger in more southern and urban locales, indic...
متن کاملTermites
Termites (Isoptera) are plagued by bad press. They destroy the livelihood of tropical farmers, literally eat their way through our homes, and even threaten our cultural heritage, including assaults on the Statue of Liberty in New York, the ancient books of the Vatican, or the historical city of Isfahan in Iran. One estimate from 2005 put the annual damage at about US$ 50 billion worldwide, with...
