Surface ozone exposures in the eastern United States (1985-1989)
Lefohn, AS; Knudsen, HP; Shadwick, DS; Hermann, KA
1,992
Interpolation techniques have been used to estimate ozone (Os) exposures in those areas where monitoring data are not available. In our analysis, we used kriging to characterize the O3 exposures that occurred during the period 1985-1989. Using the kriged data in the East, the 1988 exposures Were the highest for the S-y...

Comparison of chemiluminescence and ultraviolet ozone monitor responses in the presence of humidity and photochemical pollutants
Kleindienst, TE; Hudgens, EE; Smith, DF; Mcelroy, FF; Bufalini, JJ
1,993
The effect of water vapor and other pollutants on ozone monitoring instruments was investigated. Five UV-type and two chemiluminescence-type monitors were employed in this study. The results of the study indicate that in systems containing ozone, water vapor and zero air only, the UV-based monitors showed negligible ef...

A national critical loads framework for atmospheric deposition effects assessment: I Method summary
Strickland, TC; Holdren, GR, Jr; Ringold, PL; Bernard, D; Smythe, K; Fallon, W
1,993
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with the assistance of the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is examining the utility of a critical loads approach for evaluating atmospheric pollutant effects on sensitive ecosystems. A critical lo...

1,993
The analyses in the report focus on comparisons with the primary standards in effect in 1992 to examine changes in air pollution levels over time, and to summarize current air pollution status. The first three chapters of the report cover trends in the six pollutants with National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Chapter...

The relationship between anthropogenic nitrogen oxides and ozone trends in the Arctic troposphere
Jaffe, DA
1,993
INTRODUCTION Low solar insolation and low precipitation rates dramatically slow down the oxidation and removal of many anthropogenic pollutants in the Arctic, including hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. These processes give rise to a seasonal pollutan

Convective parameterization in mesoscale models: the Kain-Fritsch scheme
Kain, JS; Fritsch, JM
1,993
16.1. Introduction The Kain-Fritsch (1(F) convective parameterization scheme (CPS) is based on the same fundamental closure assumption as the Fritsch-Chappell (FC) (1980) scheme-convective effects are assumed to remove convective available potential energy in a grid element within an advective time period. I...

Photochemical modeling of the Southern California Air Quality Study
Harley, RA; Russell, AG; Mcrae, GJ; Cass, GR; Seinfeld, JH
1,993
The Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) provides detailed experimental observations that can be used to explore the causes of the Los Angeles smog problem. In the present study, the CIT photochemical airshed model is updated and then applied to the August 27-29, 1987, SCAQS intensive monitoring period. Using ...

Ozone effects on grafted mature and juvenile red spruce: photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and chlorophyll concentration
Rebbeck, J; Jensen, KF; Greenwood, MS
1,993
Red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) was grown as grafted mature and juvenile scions in open-top chambers and exposed to charcoal-filtered air, nonfiltered air, and nonfiltered air with ozone additions of either 75 or 150 ppb above ambient to determine if tissue age affects the species response to oxidant pollution as meas...
