Numerical study of pollutant distributions in sea breeze circulations. [Air pollution in coastal regions]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7340576

Field studies in coastal locations led to the observation that sea/lake breeze-flows may increase the air pollutant burden of a region through a recirculation of contaminants, and affect other locales with an along-shore displacement of the recirculating pollutants. Preliminary results of a numerical study of the effect of sea breeze circulations on air pollutant distributions are examined.
