spatial pattern of ground-level ozone concentration in dallas-fort worth metropolitan area

چکیده
the objective of this study was to analyze spatial patterns of ground-level ozone concentrationin the dallas-fort worth, texas metropolitan area. average daily maximum eight-hour ozone concentration,number of days with concentrations exceeding 75 ppb, average outside air temperature, and resultant winddirection at 20 monitoring stations were compiled for january-december, 2013. recent estimates of populationand vehicle miles traveled were also compiled for 12 counties with ozone monitoring station(s). ozone levelsand resultant wind directions were mapped for representative months in each season. on several days frommay-october, eight-hour ozone measurements exceeded 75 ppb. september, followed by august, producedthe highest ozone concentrations, as well as the most observations exceeding 75 ppb. late spring and summermonths also showed the greatest range in ozone concentrations; during this time period, sustained southeasterlywinds caused distinct clusters of high ozone concentration at the northern perimeter of the study area.however, ozone concentrations at individual monitoring stations were not associated with population orvehicle miles traveled in counties occupied by those stations.

Normal Polarity Severe Thunderstorms Dominated by Negative Cg Lightning in the Dallas-fort worth Area
BACKGROUND Since the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) became fully operational in 1989, meteorologists have spent considerable time trying to identify cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning characteristics that are uniquely associated with severe weather. Many studies focused on the dominant CG lightning polarity as a potential indicator of severe weather. Knapp (1994) found that 39% of...
متن کاملExperiences with a Simplified Microsimulation for the Dallas/fort-worth Area
In recent time, tra c demand in metropolitan areas has largely exceeded capacity. Typical remedies such as the expansion of the road way system or road improvement do not work well anymore for various reasons: on the one hand communities cannot a ord the increased costs of road construction, on the other hand there are political and environmental objections. Therefore, computer simulation as a ...

We describe a simple framework for micro simulation of city traac. A medium sized excerpt of Dallas was used to examine diierent levels of simulation delity of a cellular automaton method for the traac ow simulation and a simple intersection model. We point out problems arising with the granular structure of the underlying rules of motion.

Background & Aims of the Study : Ground-Level Ozone (GLO) is the component of one of greatest concern that threatened human health in both developing as well as developed countries.

متن کاملMulti-objective analysis of ground-level ozone concentration control.
To develop sound air quality plans, regional authorities should have instruments that link the complex behaviour of pollutants both in time and space with costs of emission reduction. The problem is particularly important for ground level ozone which forms kilometres away, hours later from the emission of its precursors. To approach this problem, a method (1) to identify local pollutant-precurs...
