A34B:
Air Quality in the Mid-Atlantic States I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 63735

Session Description:
The Mid Atlantic States of the eastern US have seen remarkable improvement in air quality over the past few decades, but still suffer from high levels of ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5).  Key issues involve diverse emissions sources, interstate transport (as seen with the Bermuda High and Low Level Jet), air-land-sea interactions such as biogenic emissions and the sea breeze.  Papers on policy and science, in situ, and remote observations, as well as numeric models are invited.
