Aircraft Measurements of Pollutants and Meteorological Parameters During the Sulfate Regional Experiment (SURE) Program: Meteorology Research, Inc. Final Report

摘要

Results of the aircraft measurements of pollutant and meteorological parameters performed during the Sulfate Regional Experiment (SURE) are summarized. The purpose of the SURE was to obtain air quality and meteorological data for development and verification of models which describe the dispersion and transformation of atmospheric sulfur compounds emitted from industrial sources in the northeastern United States. Airborne data from several instrumented aircraft were acquired to complement data obtained by a network of ground stations and to provide additional information about transport phenomena not available from ground data alone. The report describes the SURE aircraft program, locations, dates, times of each sampling flight made, and analyses performed to date. (ERA citation 06:020844)
