Title of Document: DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCEMENT, AND EVALUATION OF AIRCRAFT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES FOR CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS Lacey Cluff Brent, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Russell R. Dickerson, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The atmospheric contaminants most harmful to human health are designated Criteria Pollutant...

Landscape pattern (land use and natural patchiness) and complex topography strongly influence regional variation in emissions of trace gases and pollutants, as well as atmospheric transport processes. This leads to small-scale variation in the amount of (biogenic) emission, atmospheric deposition and in local concentrations of atmospheric consitutents. This chapter addresses the most important ...

Mathematical air pollution modeling represents an essential tool to control and predict atmospheric pollution. In this paper, a multiple cell model for the three-dimensional simulation of pollutants (SO2, CO, NOx, and TH) dispersion from a network of industrial stacks is presented. The model verification was conducted by checking the simulation results for a single stack against experimental da...

Aerosols are among the most important of atmospheric pollutants observed like the microscopic particulate matter in the lower parts of the troposphere. The main purpose of this study is introducing a new method based on satellite images processing results and nonlinear analysis (fractal based) to investigate the origin and dynamical mechanism of aerosols distribution in North Africa and the Mid...

Since the early nineties, the debate on these relationships has been strongly influenced by the En...

Urbanisation and industrialization are predominant indicators of regional growth with some adverse effect especially in ambient air quality often prone to contamination by emissions. Vehicular emissions have been identified as a consistent pollutant urban areas. However, meteorological conditions such rainfall also affect pollution concentration level. The aim was identify relationships between...
