Horizontal Transport in Atmospheric Mixing - Lecture 8
Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore atmospheric pollutant mixing in this 42-minute lecture from Yale University's course on The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change. Examine three scenarios: confined mixing in valleys, unconfined diffusion, and wind-influenced dispersion. Learn how pollutant concentration relates to air volume and mass in confined spaces, and how it disperses over time in unconfined areas. Understand the impact of wind direction on pollutant spread. Delve into atmospheric temperature changes with altitude and the buoyancy effects on rising and descending air parcels. Gain valuable insights into environmental science and atmospheric dynamics through this comprehensive exploration of horizontal transport mechanisms.
