Study of the formation and transport of acidic species by nonprecipitating cumulus clouds during VENTEX-84

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5101835

The report is the second in a series of reports that describes the VENTEX field studies conducted near Lexington, KY. The first one was published by Alkezweeny (1984). In the report, description of the experiment conducted during the summer of 1984 (VENTEX-84), from July 8 to August 18, are presented, and samples of the data collected are given. Possible uses of the data and example of data manipulation are illustrated. The principal objectives of the program are as follows: to determine the production of sulfate and nitrate aerosol particles by nonprecipitating cumulus clouds; and to investigate the vertical transport of pollutants caused by cumulus convection.
