Meteorological measurements during the lower rio grande valley environmental study

摘要

This paper describes the meteorological conditions observed in Brownsville, Texas, during the lower Rio Grand Valley Environmental Study. This study was conducted in two parts during the spring and summer of 1993. Air pollution and meteorological data were acquired from the top of a building located at the University of Texas at Brownsville campus approximately 1 km north of the Rio Grande River. Meteorological measurements taken at this central site included 15-min averages of air temperature, horizontal wind speed, and wind direction.
