Calculations of annual averaged sulphur dioxide concentrations at ground level in the AOSERP study area
Download1977
The Climatological Dispersion Model and the input data required for calculation of annual averaged values of sulphur dioxide concentrations at ground level are described. The most important meteorological input to the model is the long-term joint frequency distribution of winds in the vicinity of...

Bottenheim, J. W., Strausz, O. P.
Chemical transformation processes in polluted atmospheres are described, with particular reference to the oil sands area in northeastern Alberta. The relevant atmospheric chemistry is discussed under four headings: clean air chemistry, oxidant chemistry, SO2 chemistry, and aerosol chemistry. It...

Meteorological factors affecting ambient SO2 concentrations near an oil sands extraction plant
Download1980
Peters, R. R., Strosher, M. M.
Occurrences of maximum 0.5 h hour ground level measurements of SO2 near a point source are related to the meteorological processes at the time such that a cause analysis of the occurrences is established. Measurements, from a 10 station, continuous air quality monitoring network, range from 0.12...

At the request of the Meteorology and Air Quality Technical Research Committee of AOSERP, a literature survey of existing air quality models which may have possible applications in the air quality prognam of the AOSERP study area was conducted. In addition to reviewing the published literature,...

1979
The random fluctuations of concentration levels in a plume is studied using a wind tunnel simulation of dispersion in the neutrally stable atmospheric boundary layer. A fast response hot - film probe is developed and used to measure high frequency fluctuations of helium tracer concentration in...

This report examines the effect of convective turbulence on the dispersion of pollutants emitted from tall stacks in the AOSERP area. As an introduction to this subject the structure of the convective boundary layer is described. Recent models to account for the effects of convection on plume...

Airshed management system for the Alberta oil sands: Volume III: Verification and sensitivity studies
Download1981
Davies, M. J. E., Davison, D. S., Hansen, M. C., Rudolph, R. C.
A climatological air quality dispersion was developed which provides more powerful analyses capabilities than are available in traditional COM-type models. The model incorporates a time series approach to satisfy identified user needs. The three components of the model are: the time series file...

Olson, R., Peters, R., Bertram, H., Thomson, B.
A study of the wet deposition of atmospheric pollutants in northeastern Alberta was initiated by Alberta Environment and Atmospheric Environment Service in 1976. The objectives of this ongoing study are to determine changes in the input rate of atmospheric trace substances into sensitive...
