Back trajectory analysis for PRECP-III
Back trajectory analyses were conducted for the PRECP-III field period, January 12, 1986 to February 12, 1986 using the Branching Atmospheric Trajectory (BAT) model developed at the Air Resources Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These trajectories were centered at the field station at Sandy Pond, New York. Previous work that studied the uncertainties encountered when using trajectory models was reviewed, and results of a verification study to select the appropriate meteorological window for the input data to the BAT model are presented. Anthropogenic emissions of SO/sub x/ and NO/sub x/ in the geographic area covered by the calculated trajectories were obtained from the emissions inventory project of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). The emissions were allocated to a 1/degree/ by 1/degree/ grid and displayed over maps of the area. 11 refs., 11 figs., 2 tabs.
