Description
Summary:A very comprehensive set of airborne concentration measurement for gaseous HNO 3 and NH 3 and particulate NH 4 +, SO 4 2− and NO 3 − collected abroad R.R.S. Challenger over the Southern Bight of the North Sea has been compared with the predictions of an Eulerian atmospheric transport — chemistry model. Comparison of time-averaged concentrations and temporal variations shows generally excellent agreement between measurement and model predictions. It is concluded that, given the difficulties of making airborne concentration measurements over the Sea, the model provides a reliable and cost-effective means of estimating pollutant concentrations.
