Ozone Plumes from Small Cities and Ozone in High Pressure Weather Systems

摘要

This report presents the results of a field investigation of ozone distribution and transports. The program focuses on the formation and transport of ozone in urban plumes of small cities and the behavior of ozone in a high pressure weather system traversing the eastern half of the United States. The field experiments were conducted in July - August 1977. Both ground level and airborne monitoring were conducted. The study was a collaborative effort involving Battelle-Columbus, the EPA Environmental Sciences Research Laboratory (ESRL), and Washington State University (WSU). This report concerns the aircraft and ground level measurements obtained by Battelle-Columbus, although some aircraft results by WSU and detailed hydrocarbon measurements by ESRL are presented. The report builds upon earlier investigations of ozone transport in the Ohio Valley and New England.
