Vertical Transport and Mixing in the Salt-Lake Basin
نویسندگان
چکیده
A month-long meteorological field campaign VTMX (Vertical Transport and MiXing), sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Environmental Meteorology Program, was conducted during October 2000 in the Salt Lake Valley to perform complex investigation of vertical transport and mixing in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) [1]. Approximately 100 people from 9 research laboratories and two universities, including ASU, performed extensive meteorological measurements at twelve different locations in the vicinity of the Salt Lake City (SLC). The main goal of the experiment was to improve our understanding on meteorological processes characteristic of complex terrain surrounding urban basin and valleys. Such an improved understanding is necessary to develop and benchmark numerical models that are used to predict transport of air pollutants in these regions.

Vertical mixing processes and thermal structure of large lakes can impact the biological processes both through vertical transport processes and the exponential decay of light with depth. I investigated the role of these issues in algal consumption, production and influence on oxygen dynamics. The impact of a benthic filter feeder limited by physical transport of algae to the benthos. Hydrodyna...

During the month of October 2000, a major field campaign dealing with urban flow and pollution dispersion took place in Salt Lake City, Utah. Named “Vertical Transport and Mixing” (VTMX) experiment, this project was funded by the US Department of Energy's Environmental Meteorology Program (EMP). The aim of VTMX was to investigate vertical transport and mixing in stable atmospheric boundary laye...
متن کاملModeling nearshore-offshore exchange in Lake Superior
Lake Superior's ecosystem includes distinct nearshore and offshore food webs linked by hydrodynamic processes that transport water and tracers along and across shore. The scales over which these processes occur and their sensitivity to increasing summer surface temperatures are not well understood. This study investigated horizontal mixing between nearshore and offshore areas of Lake Superior o...

Drought detecting is a necessary aspect of drought risk management. It is generally performed usingdifferent drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydro- meteorologicalvariables.
