“…In the surface layer, kinematic turbulent ûux is often evaluated by Monin-Obukhov similarity theory [21][22]. Monin-Obukhov length is a length scale (m) proportional to the height above the surface at which buoyant production of turbulence first dominates mechanical (shear) production of turbulence [12,21,23].…”

The atmospheric stability plays an important role in the accumulation of air pollutants and greatly influences their degradation, dispersion and deposition. These atmospheric qualities can be determined with various methods (Richardson number, Monin -Obukhov length, SRDT method) and the pollutant concentration increase demonstrates the atmospheric stability. In this study the cold periods were the most stable as well the PM 10 and CO pollutants had high concentrations. Between these two pollutants the correlation is high because their sources are the same: transport and biomass burning. The study of hourly averages highlighted the importance of traffic intensity since the concentration variation follows the traffic intensity. An increase in the wind speed in the basin results in the pollutants concentrations decrease, the negative correlation with the temperature indicating the importance of the photochemical processes.

“…The MAPS-Y system used in Siebert's study draws similar comparisons to the balloon size dimensions used in this project. Cvitan et al (2002) involved the use of a tethered balloon radiosonde to obtain wind speed profile measurements. Wind speed measurements for this study were obtained via a tethered balloon radiosonde and a pilot-balloon system.…”

“…Wind speed measurements for this study were obtained via a tethered balloon radiosonde and a pilot-balloon system. Tethered balloons were launched every hour when preferred light wind conditions occurred (Cvitan et al 2002). The pilot-balloons were only used to take measurements when strong winds occurred near the surface.…”

The development of a balloon-borne buoy based measurement system which aims to find a more cost effective method to be able to characterize offshore winds is assessed. The buoy measurements taken are compared to meteorological tower and Galion lidar data. Data were collected from several field studies located in Iowa, New Mexico, and Texas throughout 2013 and 2014. A look at balloon-borne buoy based wind measurement system that were developed and used in this study will be explained. Findings show that wind speeds correlate well, while wind directions did not correlate as well. An algorithm developed to verify the heights at which the modules were flying at through use of the hypsometric equation will be examined. Spectral analysis is used on data taken during the February 10 th field study in the Gulf of Mexico. The study provides an encouraging outlook on assessing offshore winds moving forward, by displaying the ability for the system to operate autonomously for a brief period of time in the Gulf.
