Title: Mathematical modeling of the formation and dynamics of acidic aerosols
Principal Investigator / Author(s): Seinfeld, John H.
Contractor: Environmental Quality Laboratory, California Institute of Technology
Contract Number: A4-146-32
Research Program Area: Atmospheric Processes
Topic Areas: Acid Deposition, Modeling
Abstract:
A mathematical model has been developed to predict the chemical composition and size distribution of ambient aerosols containing sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, water, sodium, chloride and organic species. The model has been implemented in a trajectory framework and has been employed to predict the size and composition distributions of aerosol in the South Coast Air Basin on August 31, 1982.
