Catalog : ATMO.5710 Air Pollution Phenomenology (Formerly 85.571)

ATMO.5710 — Graduate

Id: 007804 Offering: 1 Credits: 3-3

Description

The course centers on transport, dispersion and transformation of air pollutants in the atmosphere. Atmospheric structure and dynamics are reviewed. The atmospheric dispersion equation is developed for instantaneous and steady- state releases of pollutants, including the Gaussian Plume Equation for point, line and area sources. The sources and transport of particulate matter are discussed, including haze and visibility impairment. Other topics are photooxidants (ozone), acid deposition, stratospheric ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect.
