Bay Region Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (BRACE)

摘要

The Bay Region Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (BRACE) was conceived in response to persistent increasing trends of nitrogen oxide emissions in Florida, a far-sighted effort to assess its potential effects on air quality and the ecological health of Tampa Bay and its surroundings. BRACE goals were to: 1. improve estimates of nitrogen deposition to Tampa Bay, Florida, 2. apportion atmospheric nitrogen between local, regional and remote sources, and 3. assess the impact of utility controls on nitrogen deposition to Tampa Bay.
