Mesoscale Atmospheric Dispersion

Download or read book Mesoscale Atmospheric Dispersion written by Zafer Boybeyi and published by Computational Mechanics. This book was released on 2000 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most serious problems to affect out atmospheric environment, such as urban air pollution, regional haze, acidic precipitation, and ozone depletion, occur over mesoscale travel distances and are consequently truly international in nature. In response to the increased awareness of these problems, many universities now offer interdisciplinary programmes in environmental science while many government and private organizations also support environmental projects. This study seeks to fulfil the need for a suitable text for graduate students working in the field. It consists of 13 chapters which review basic concepts, theories and modelling issues of pollutant dispersal in the atmosphere and related atmospheric systems affecting transport, transformation, and removal of air pollutants over mesoscale travel distances.
