Surface ozone (SOZ) can be very harmful if it exceeds the threshold limit. It can accumulate over sea and can return back to the land along with the breeze. Rural and vegetation rich areas often record elevated levels of surface ozone because of the variations in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels, wind velocity and direction. Similarly methane is also an important greenhouse gas and plays ...

The Alqueva reservoir, in the Southeast of Portugal, has significantly changed landscape region, with impacts also on local climate, as documented this manuscript, namely thermal circulation form lake and land breezes. Taking advantage three strategic meteorological stations, two installed at shores another a floating platform located near center detailed analysis breeze occurrences during year...

A professional TV crew traveled to Gulf Breeze, Florida on two occasions in the spring of 1992 at a time when sightings were occurring on a weekly basis. On each occasion anomalous lights were observed and videotaped passing through the Gulf Breeze skies. This paper reports briefly on the first sighting and concentrates on the analysis of the second sighting when the TV crew used a special "hig...

According to Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) Act of 1990, under section 38 a very lucid definition of environment was given as thus: ‘Environment includes water, air, land and all plants and human beings and/or animals living there in and the interrelationships which exist among these or any of them.’’ Thus, ‘’environment’’ comprises land, air, water and all the physical structur...

City-scale warming is becoming a serious problem in terms of human health. Urban green spaces are expected to act as a countermeasure for urban warming, and therefore better understanding of the micro-climate benefits of urban green is needed. This study quantified the thermal influence of a large green park in Tokyo, Japan on the surrounding urban area by collecting long-term measurements. App...

An improved treatment of advection is essential for atmospheric transport and chemistry models. Eulerian treatments are generally plagued with instabilities, unrealistic negative constituent values, diffusion, and dispersion errors. A higher-order Eulerian model improves one error at significant cost but magnifies another error. The cost of semi-Lagrangian models is too high for many applicatio...
