Sulfate episodes in the Tennessee Valley Region, August 1976
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5585406
Ambient sulfate concentration data collected during August 1976 revealed elevated ambient sulfate concentrations (two to four times the annual average) in Arkansas and western Tennessee on three of five sampling days. The meteorology and the source regions were similar for all three episodes. High-pressure systems of continental polar origin stagnated over the Ohio River Valley, producing northeast-to-southwest transport of pollutant-laden air into the episode regions. This transport of continental polar air from the northeast differs significantly from the 'typical' southwest transport of maritime tropical air often reported as producing episodes of high air pollution.
