Vertical layering of photochemical ozone during land-sea breeze transport

Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown how local wind fields, such as the land-sea breeze circulation in coastal areas, influence the transport of oxidant precursors and the residence time and re-entry of photochemical compounds. Simple models usually do not take into account the vertical layering of pollutants, assuming a uniform concentration distribution within the boundary layer during transport processes. The present study reports the results of a monitoring survey conducted in an industrial coastal area to assess the time evolution of the vertical layering of ozone subject to land-sea breeze circulation in the boundary layer.
