Application of a Mobile Flux Lab for the Atmospheric Measurement of Emissions (FLAME)
… we have designed a mobile Flux Lab for the Atmospheric Measurement of Emissions (FLAME) that applies a proven, science-based method known as eddy covariance for the direct quantification of anthropogenic emissions to the atmosphere. The mobile flux lab is a tool with novel, multifaceted …

Evaluating Relationships between Mercury Concentrations in Air and in Spanish Moss (<em>Tillandsia Usneoides</em> L.)
… contamination to soil, water, and biota is atmospheric deposition. Therefore, comprehensive monitoring of atmospheric concentrations is important. Limitations of conventional atmospheric measurement techniques include high cost and lack of temporal or spatial integration. Bioindicators, …

Development and Improvement of Spectroscopic Techniques for Atmospheric Composition Measurements from Ground and Space
… change requires a large body of observations and measurements of atmospheric composition. This requires the development of observational techniques and instrumentation, as well as modeling and methods for the correction of past measurements. Some of the more important atmospheric components that …

Volatile organic compounds in the New England troposphere: Atmospheric chemistry and measurement techniques
<p>Atmospheric measurements made at Appledore Island, Maine were used to investigate nighttime nitrate radical (NO3) chemistry and its significance for the nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) budget in the Gulf of Maine region during the summer of 2004 International Consortium for Atmospheric Research …

Analysis of Trace Gas Heterogeneity using In-Situ and Remote Sensing Measurement Techniques
… this retrieval is not applicable to Mobile-DOAS measurements due to the lengthy measurement times. In addition, the requirement for rapid measurements for Mobile-DOAS application prevents a single instrument from retrieving information about the horizontal trace gas distributions around the …

Characterisation of air masses passing over the Vredefort Dome world heritage site
… megacity, which is well-known for high levels of atmospheric pollution. Notwithstanding the national and international importance of the Vredefort Dome, as well as the proximity of the afore-mentioned polluted source regions, currently, no air quality data is available for this area. The …

Investigation of the evolution of atmospheric particles with integration of the stochastic particle-resolved model PartMC-MOSAIC and atmospheric measurements
Atmospheric aerosols are known to have strong impacts on human health, visibility and the climate system. They originate directly from either anthropogenic or natural emission, or can be also formed through gas- particle conversion processes. Aerosol particles in the atmosphere often represent a …

Molecular Spectroscopy: A Study of Molecules in Earth and Planetary Atmospheres
… atmosphere by infrared remote sensing with the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) Fourier transform spectrometer. These satellite observations have provided a near global picture of N<sub>2</sub>O isotopic fractionation. The relative abundance of the heavier isotopologues increase with …

Three-dimensional water vapor retrieval using a network of scanning compact microwave radiometers
… on sub-meso γ scales (2-5 km). Therefore, measurements of water vapor aloft with high time resolution and sufficient spatial resolution have the potential to improve forecast skill for the initiation of convective storms. Such measurements may be used for assimilation into and validation of …
