Upstream urbanization exacerbates urban heat island effects
TL;DR: In this paper, an observational and modeling study of an extreme UHI (heat wave) episode in the Baltimore metropolitan region was conducted, and the authors found that upstream urbanization exacerbates UHI effects and that meteorological consequences of extra-urban development can cascade well downwind.
The net decay time of anomalies in concentrations of atmospheric pollutants
Konstantin Y. Vinnikov,Russell R. Dickerson,Nickolay A. Krotkov,Eric S. Edgerton,James J. Schwab +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced a new parameter to characterize the random component in temporal variability of atmospheric pollutants and proposed a simple statistical technique for its evaluation, which is the net decay time (or the time scale) of the local anomalies in concentrations of atmospheric pollutant species.
Anthropogenic VOCs in the Long Island Sound, NY Airshed and their role in ozone production
A. Ring,Russell R. Dickerson,Abby E. Sebol,Xinrong Ren,Sarah E. Benish,Ross J. Salawitch,Andrea Galasyn,Paul J. Miller,Timothy P. Canty +8 more
TL;DR: The most important measured anthropogenic VOCs ranked by OH reactivity were propylene and isopentane, with n-butane and 1-pentene also playing a substantial role as discussed by the authors .
New methodology for estimating biofuel consumption for cooking: Atmospheric emissions of black carbon and sulfur dioxide from India
Gazala Habib,Chandra Venkataraman,Manish Shrivastava,Rangan Banerjee,Jeffrey W. Stehr,Russell R. Dickerson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new methodology for estimating biofuel consumption for cooking, which is based on food consumption statistics, and the specific energy for food cooking, and derived the biofuel mix, which varied regionally and was 74:16:10%, respectively, of fuelwood, dung cake and crop waste at a national level.
