Cold Air Outbreaks Promote New Particle Formation Off the U.S. East Coast
نویسندگان
چکیده
New particle formation (NPF) is the dominant contributor to total number concentration and plays an important role in cloud condensation nuclei budget. Airborne data from Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) are used address seasonal NPF statistics factors related around clouds. Higher ratios of concentrations greater than 3 versus 10 nm (N3/N10) were mainly observed above boundary layer tops during winter as compared summer. Cold dry air low aerosol surface area facilitate over ACTIVATE region; these conditions especially prevalent flights coinciding with cold outbreaks.

Variability in coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) Chlorophyll imagery of ocean margin waters off the US East Coast
The purpose of our study was to use the 7.5-year coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) image time series (Oct. 1978 to July, 1986) to study general patterns in near-surface phytoplankton chlorophyll concentrations in ocean margin waters off the US East Coast. We defined 21 relatively large study areas (>100 km) within the MAB and SAB to set boundaries for averaging and subsequent analyses. Our obje...
متن کاملThe cold-core eddy and strong upwelling off the coast of New South Wales in early 2007
During the Austral summer of 2006–07 a series of extreme oceanic events occurred in the Tasman Sea. Following a series of strong wind-driven upwelling events, an intense cold-core eddy developed off Sydney, Australia. A data-assimilating, eddy-resolving ocean model is used to create a threedimensional time-varying reanalysis of these events. The reanalysis indicates that the cold anomalies asso...

متن کاملTyphoon-induced, highly nonlinear internal solitary waves off the east coast of Korea
[1] Highly nonlinear internal solitary waves (ISWs) propagating both onshore and offshore were detected in a SAR image taken approximately 19 hours after typhoon MAEMI’s passage across the east coast of Korea. Analysis of ocean buoy data suggests that the ISWs were generated by near-inertial waves in response to typhoon wind. The near-inertial waves can propagate seaward due to a downwelling co...
متن کاملWhere is the ideal location for a US East Coast offshore grid?
[1] This paper identifies the location of an “ideal” offshore wind energy (OWE) grid on the U.S. East Coast that would (1) provide the highest overall and peak-time summer capacity factor, (2) use bottom-mounted turbine foundations (depth ≤50 m), (3) connect regional transmissions grids from New England to the Mid-Atlantic, and (4) have a smoothed power output, reduced hourly ramp rates and hou...
