Biomass Burning and Urban Air Pollution Over the Central Mexican Plateau
Observations during the 2006 dry season of highly elevated concentrations of cyanides in the atmosphere above Mexico City (MC) and the surrounding plains demonstrate that biomass burning (BB) significantly impacted air quality in the region. We find that during the period of our measurements, fires contribute more than half of the organic aerosol mass and submicron aerosol scattering, and one t...
متن کاملInvestigation of the sources and processing of organic aerosol over the Central Mexican Plateau from aircraft measurements during MILAGRO
Organic aerosol (OA) represents approximately half of the submicron aerosol in Mexico City and the Central Mexican Plateau. This study uses the high time resolution measurements performed onboard the NCAR/NSF C130 aircraft during the MILAGRO/MIRAGE-Mex field campaign in March 2006 to investigate the sources and chemical processing of the OA in this region. An examination of the OA/1CO ratio evo...
متن کاملTransport pathways for Asian pollution outflow over the Pacific: Interannual and seasonal variations
[1] The meteorological pathways contributing to Asian pollution outflow over the Pacific are examined with a global three-dimensional model analysis of CO observations from the Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) aircraft mission (February–April 2001). The model is used also to place the TRACE-P observations in an interannual (1994–2001) and seasonal context. The major p...
متن کاملModeling of Mexico City Air Pollution and Outflow with WRF-Chem
We use a newly developed regional chemical/transport model (WRF-Chem) to study the air pollutions in mega cities and their effect on surrounding areas. The model is based on a state of the art regional dynamical/transport model, the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model developed by multiple institutes (including NOAA, NCAR, etc.). The detailed description of WRF-Chem is given by Grell et al...
متن کاملBiomass burning in eastern Europe during spring 2006 caused high deposition of ammonium in northern Fennoscandia.
High air concentrations of ammonium were detected at low and high altitude sites in Sweden, Finland and Norway during the spring 2006, coinciding with polluted air from biomass burning in eastern Europe passing over central and northern Fennoscandia. Unusually high values for throughfall deposition of ammonium were detected at one low altitude site and several high altitude sites in north Swede...
متن کاملBiomass burning in the Amazon-fertilizer for the mountaineous rain forest in Ecuador.
BACKGROUND Biomass burning is a source of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen compounds which, along with their photochemically generated reaction products, can be transported over very long distances, even traversing oceans. Chemical analyses of rain and fogwater samples collected in the mountaineous rain forest of south Ecuador show frequent episodes of high sulfate and nitrate concentration, from wh...
