Using historical atmospheric pollution data to prioritize environmental sampling in urban areas

Mapping of Environmental Pollution in Urban Areas with Gis

Environmental pollution in urban areas has resulted in the design of monitoring and decision-making systems. These systems are supported by the information systems that can manage spatial dynamics of pollution processes. Due to a wide range of data, which are necessary for modeling of spatio-temporal phenomena, new methods of data collection and management have to be created. This paper describ...

Environmental Management & Pollution SECONDARY ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION

4.2 Acid Deposition Acid rain was first identified in the 19th century, when English pharmacist Robert Angus Smith measured high acidity levels in rain falling over industrial regions of England and much lower levels in less-polluted areas near the coast. However, this pattern did not receive sustained attention until biologists began to notice sharp declines in fish populations in lakes in Nor...

Atmospheric Pollution in Urban Areas of Greece and Economic Crisis. Trends in air quality and atmospheric pollution data, research and adverse health effects

Ambient air pollution in urban and industrial areas in Greece was a serious environmental problem which was connected with rapid urbanization of cities, anarchic housing development without basic infrastructures and increases of motor vehicle fleet in urban regions. Especially Athens, witnessed severe air pollution problems in the decades 1960s‘-1970s‘ and the formation of the infamous brown-ye...

Historical isotope simulation using Reanalysis atmospheric data

[1] In this paper we present a multidecadal and global three-dimensional stable water isotope data set. This is accomplished by incorporating processes of the stable water isotopes into an atmospheric general circulation model and by applying a spectral nudging technique toward Reanalysis dynamical fields. Unlike the global model simulations forced only by sea surface temperature (SST), the dyn...
