Description
Summary:We have proposed a fundamentally new formulation of the problem of estimating the spatial structure of the average concentration field of atmospheric contaminant on the base of measurements at one or several monitoring points, without involving information about the sources of the contaminant — the problem of passive location (remote sensing) of the atmosphere by wind or Fluid Location of the Atmosphere. Two new functions are defined: t he a verage effective c oncentration field an d th e average effective sources field. The equations for finding these functions are written in the differential and integral forms. In the quasi-two-dimensional approximation for the case of a passive pollutant, the estimates of the average effective methane concentration in the Kara and Barents Seas region are presented based on measurements on Bely Island in July and August 2016.
