Rapid intercontinental air pollution transport associated with a meteorological bomb
Intercontinental transport (ICT) of trace substances normally occurs on timescales ranging from a few days to several weeks. In this paper an extraordinary episode in November 2001 is presented, where pollution transport across the North Atlantic took only about one day. The transport mechanism, termed here an intercontinental pollution express highway because of the high wind speeds, was excep...
متن کاملIntercontinental influence of NO[subscript x] and CO emissions on particulate matter air quality
23 Anthropogenic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx ≡ NO + NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) 24 affect particulate matter (PM) air quality on an intercontinental scale by changing background 25 concentrations of oxidants (OH, ozone, H2O2) and thus increasing the oxidation rate of sulfur 26 dioxide (SO2) to sulfate and NOx to nitrate. We conduct sensitivity simulations with the GEOS27 Chem chemical t...
متن کاملIntercontinental transport of nitrogen oxide pollution plumes
We describe the first satellite observation of intercontinental transport of nitrogen oxides emitted by power plants, verified by simulations with a particle tracer model. The analysis of such episodes shows that anthropogenic NOx plumes may influence the atmospheric chemistry thousands of kilometers away from its origin, as well as the ocean they traverse due to nitrogen fertilization. This ki...
متن کاملCombined Use of Space-borne Observations of No2 and Regional Ctm Model for Air Quality Monitoring in Northern Italy
The use of space-borne measurements of trace gas constituents for air quality monitoring is considerably increased during the past decade. This is due mainly to the new generation sensors able to observe large areas with good temporal resolution and due to new assimilation techniques that allow a synergetic use of information from satellite and from Chemical Transport Models (CTM). In fact the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of updated nitric acid chemistry on ozone precursors and radiative effects
This study shows that revising the reaction rate of NO2+HO q →HNO3 improves simulated nitrogen partitioning and changes the simulated radiative effects of several short-lived climate forcers (SLCF). Both laboratory and field study analyses have found that the reaction rate should be reduced by 13–30 % from current recommendations. We evaluate the GEOS-Chem model over North America with and with...
