Transport and transformation of pollutant in the Lake Michigan area. [Pollutants from the Chicago and Milwaukee areas]

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The transport and the transformation of pollutants emitted from the Milwaukee and the Chicago areas were studied during August 1976. The study is part of the MAP3S program sponsored by ERDA--DBER. The experiments were conducted in approximately Lagrangian frames of reference utilizing two instrumented aircraft and surface support units. It was found that: 1) build up of ozone downwind of the areas occurred; 2) sulfate concentrations were higher in the urban plume than those upwind, and progressively increased with distance from the source; 3) significant concentrations of sulfate, probably associated with long range transport of sulfur, were often detectable above … continued below
