Determining air pollutant emission rates based on mass balance using airborne measurement data over the Alberta oil sands operations [PDF]
Top-down approaches to measure total integrated emissions provide verification of bottom-up, temporally resolved, inventory-based estimations. Aircraft-based measurements of air pollutants from sources in the Canadian oil sands were made in support of ...

Development of a large-eddy simulation subgrid model based on artificial neural networks: a case study of turbulent channel flow [PDF]
Atmospheric boundary layers and other wall-bounded flows are often simulated with the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique, which relies on subgrid-scale (SGS) models to parameterize the smallest scales.

Seasonal and regional variations of atmospheric ammonia across the South Korean Peninsula
This study aimed to identify the factors causing NH3 emissions in the South Korean Peninsula and West Sea region. To analyze the trends of NH3 and other air pollutants, such as NOx, CO, and NR-PM1, we collected samples from six supersites across the ...

A comparison of plume rise algorithms to stack plume measurements in the Athabasca oil sands [PDF]
Plume rise parameterizations calculate the rise of pollutant plumes due to effluent buoyancy and exit momentum. Some form of these parameterizations is used by most air quality models.

The use of hierarchical clustering for the design of optimized monitoring networks [PDF]
Associativity analysis is a powerful tool to deal with large-scale datasets by clustering the data on the basis of (dis)similarity and can be used to assess the efficacy and design of air quality monitoring networks.
