Impact of the vertical mixing induced by low-level jets on boundary layer ozone concentration
After sunset, a stable boundary layer (SBL) develops close to the ground, while the upper region of the daytime mixed layer becomes the residual layer (RL). Mixing between the SBL and RL is often quite limited and the RL is thought to be a reservoir for daytime mixed-layer pollutants under such conditions. However, ozone (O3) profiles observed in Maryland, U.S. suggest that the RL is not always...
متن کاملImpacts of Mixing Processes in Nocturnal Atmospheric Boundary Layer on Urban Ozone Concentrations
A number of open questions remain regarding the role of low-level jets (LLJs) and nocturnal mixing processes in the buildup of tropospheric ozone. The prevalence of southerly winds and LLJs in the U.S. Southern Great Plains during summer makes this region an ideal site for investigating the structure of the nocturnal boundary layer and its impacts on urban air quality. Ozone (O3) and nitrogen o...
متن کاملImpact of Low-Level Jets on the Nocturnal Urban Heat Island Intensity in Oklahoma City
Previous analysis of OklahomaCity (OKC), Oklahoma, temperature data indicated that urban heat islands (UHIs) frequently formed at night and the observed UHI intensity was variable (18–48C). The current study focuses on identifying meteorological phenomena that contributed to the variability of nocturnal UHI intensity in OKC during July 2003. Two episodes, one with a strong UHI signature and one...

متن کاملRevealing the impact of changing land use of the annual spatiotemporal boundary layer height (Kermanshah Case Study)
Introduction Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is the lowest part of the atmosphere. Its behavior is directly influenced by its contact with earth surface. On earth it usually responds to changes in surface radiative forcing in an hour or less. In this layer physical quantities such as flow velocity, temperature, moisture, etc., display rapid fluctuations (turbulence) and vertical mixing is st...
