A Simulation Model for Air Pollution over Connecticut

Storm rainfall variability over Connecticut

“…Figures 4 and 5 were examined further to determine whether these two hypotheses could be used to explain the observed rainfall variability. When the rainfall patterns are compared with pollution sources [Bowne, 1969] and urban locations, no obvious correspondence is found. Although inadvertent effects may be present, variations in topography remain as the most suitable hypothesis for the observed rainfall variability for the stratiform• type storms.…”

The Difficulty of Forecasting Ambient Air Quality— A Weak Link in Pollution Control

“…See also, Federal Register 36, 15486-15506 (Aug. 14,1971). 10 See, for example, Turner (1964), Clark (1964), Miller and Holzworth (1967), Koogler et al (1967), Hilst (1967), Bowne (1969), Shieh et al (1970). Roberts et al (1970).…”

“…T h e phenomenon known as photochemical smog is mainly caused by secondary pollutants (such as oxidants) and is a particularly severe problem in the Los Angeles area, to which reference will frequently be made in the discussion (though findings are not limited in relevance to that one metropolitan area). It happens that until recently,3 more data has been available for Los Angeles than for anywhere else, and, as a result, the EPA chose it as the location for initial testing of the most sophisticated models yet d e~e l o p e d .~ However, other models have been developed and tested in such places as Nashville (Turner, 1964;Miller and Holzworth, 1967), Cincinnati (Clark, 1964), Jacksonville (Koogler et al, 1967), St. Louis (Koch and Thayer, 1972;Ludwig and Dabberdt, 1972;Dabberdt et al, 1973;Shir and Shieh, 1973), Connecticut (Hilst, 1967;Bowne, 1969), Chicago (Roberts et al, 1970), New York (Shieh et al, 1970), San Francisco (MacCracken et al, 1971Ludwig and Kealoha, 1974), and the Hackensack (N J) Meadowland (Wills, 1973).…”
