Metropolitan air quality core indicators 1.4.3 Effects of meteorology While the level of emissions in a given area may change little from day to day, their effect on air quality is highly variable due to variations in meteorological parameters which control the movement, dispersion, dilution and, in some cases, the rate of chemical reaction, of pollutants. Wind Wind speed influences the movement and dispersion of emissions and together with wind direction will influence the distribution of pollutants. Sea breezes and cold air drainage in the region can be important in terms of the transport and recirculation of pollutants, including ozone Hawke et al. 1978 ) and particle pollution ( Hyde et al. 1983 ). The direction of the synoptic wind will influence the occurrence of these local flows and will also be important in the transport of pollutants between regions. Vertical structure The vertical structure of the atmosphere also influences air quality. Atmospheric inversions, where the normal temperature structure of the atmosphere is reversed (i.e. temperature increases with height rather than decreases), result in stable atmospheric layers which play a significant role in determining the impact of pollution emissions. High pollutant concentrations can occur as a result of ground based inversions which can trap emissions close to the surface by limiting the vertical mixing, or elevated inversions which can limit the volume of air into which emissions are dispersed. The impact of emissions from elevated plumes (from tall stacks) will also be influenced by the vertical structure of the atmosphere.

Human influences have led to an increase in the global mean temperature, which may have severe impacts on regional ecosystems and economies, e.g. through the increased frequency and intensity of severe weather events. Industrial emissions and emissions resulting from agricultural practices (e.g. biomass burning) are also responsible for significant changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere, which includes radiatively active gases like ozone or methane as well as aerosols. The importance of these changes is still rather uncertain, but their combined effect may well rival that of CO . Conversely, climate change impacts the rate of trace gas emissions (e.g. from the living biosphere) and the deposition of gases and aerosols, influences photochemical reaction rates (via temperature, radiation, and humidity changes), affects the frequency and intensity of thunderstorms, and hence the production rate of nitrogen oxides from lightning, and may also change the transport patterns of trace gases and aerosols with consequences for the horizontal and vertical structure of the atmospheric composition. My activities in this area include the development of a coupled chemistry general circulation model (implementation of the MOZART chemistry in ECHAM as part of the german AFO2000 project

METEOROLOGY For weather information, click below WEATHER INFORMATION For local weather information COMMERCIAL APPEAL WEATHER Meteorology is the study of Atmospheric Phenomena. Meteorology is derived from the greek word for Air "Meteora". The word Atmosphere comes from Greek "Atmos" which means Vapor and "Sphaira" which means Sphere. Weather is the continuously changing conditions of the lower atmosphere. A thorough study from ground to outer space is termed atmospheric science. Earth's atmosphere evolved into its present condition over millions of years. The gravitational attraction between Earth and the atmosphere is greater near the surface, and decreases with increasing altitude. Half the mass of the atmosphere lies below an altitude of 11 km (7 miles). Above 320 km (200 miles) the density is 1 gas molecule per square mile. There is no upper limit for the atmosphere which just merges interplanetary gases. The physical variations in atmosphere occur with altitude, temperature, and ozone and ionic concentrations.

The MONITOR Newsletter Overview Great Basin National Park Nevada The NPS Air Resources Division operates a network of air quality monitoring stations (sometimes refered to as the Gaseous Pollutant Monitoring Network - GPMN) that measures primarily meteorological parameters and ozone. Sulfur dioxide is measured using continuous analyzers or with filter samplers in a subset of the network. The 1991 NPS Monitoring Strategy contains the monitoring plan that includes long-term "trends sites" and 3-5 year "baseline sites." Many stations are now operated jointly with the EPA CASTNet. The gaseous pollutant monitoring program historically concentrated on determining the levels of two gaseous air pollutants, ozone and sulfur dioxide, which are most toxic to native vegetative species found in NPS units at levels at or below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards NAAQS). Other gaseous pollutants (e.g., other photochemical oxidants, nitrogen compounds, and toxic organic compounds) are also of interest to the NPS because they relate to physiological, morphological, or historical injury to park biological resources, or to global climate change.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY HOME FUNDAMENTALS ONLINE TEXTBOOK GLOSSARY ... ABOUT CHAPTER 7: Introduction to the Atmosphere (a). Atmospheric Composition Table 7a-1 lists the eleven most abundant gases found in the Earth's lower atmosphere by volume. Of the gases listed, nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are extremely important to the health of the Earth's biosphere. The table indicates that nitrogen and oxygen are the main components of the atmosphere by volume. Together these two gases make up approximately 99 % of the dry atmosphere. Both of these gases have very important associations with life. Nitrogen is removed from the atmosphere and deposited at the Earth's surface mainly by specialized nitrogen fixing bacteria, and by way of lightning through precipitation. The addition of this nitrogen to the Earth's surface soils and various water bodies supplies much needed nutrition for plant growth. Nitrogen returns to the atmosphere primarily through biomass combustion and
