GROUND WATER AS A SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS AND ATRAZINE TO STREAMS IN THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN1

ABSTRACT: Concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate, ammonia, orthophosphate, and atrazine were measured in streams and ground water beneath the streams at 23 sites in the South Platte River basin of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming to assess: (1) the role of ground water as a source of nutrients and atrazine to streams in the basin, and (2) the effect of land-use setting on this process. Concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate, ammonia, orthophosphate, and atrazine were higher in ground water than in the overlying streams at 2, 12, 12, and 3 of 19 sites, respectively, where there was not a measurable hydraulic gradient directed from the stream to the ground water. Orthophosphate was the only constituent that had a significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) concentration in ground water than in surface water for a given land-use setting (range land). Redox conditions in ground water were more important than land-use setting in influencing whether ground water was a source of elevated nitrite plus nitrate concentrations to streams in the basin. The ratios of nitrite plus nitrate in ground water/surface were were significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) at sites having concentrations of dissolved oxygen in ground water ≤ 0.5 mg/L than at sites having dissolved oxygen concentrations ≥ 0.5 mg/L. Elevated concentrations of ammonia or atrazine in ground water occurred at sites in close proximity to likely sources of ammonia or atrazine, regardless of land-use setting. These results indicate that land-use setting is not the only factor that influences whether ground water is a source of elevated nutrient and atrazine concentrations to streams in the South Platte River Basin.

MM5-SMOKE-CMAQ as a modeling tool for 8-h ozone regulatory enforcement: application to the state of Arizona

The Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Meteorological Model 5 (MM5), Sparse Matrix Operator Kernal Emissions (SMOKE), and Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling systems were employed to simulate ozone concentration distribution within the State of Arizona, in particular, Phoenix air basin, as supporting information to designate nonattainment areas of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new 8-h ozone standard. In general, based on statistical comparisons between predictions and available (sparsely distributed) observations, the modeling system performed reasonably well for the Phoenix basin, thus proving it to be a useful tool for both regulatory as well as research applications. Detailed inspection, however, revealed a serious problem with respect to the details of the ozone distribution in that for some days the transition from downslope flow to upslope flow in the Phoenix basin was delayed in the model, causing the ozone distribution to show an unrealistic high-ozone bias toward the west valley. Implementation of a modified subgrid parameterization improved the time of transition, and hence the prediction of ozone and its precursor distributions. This study points to possible inadequacies of commonly used subgrid parameterizations in dealing with rapidly changing flow conditions such as morning (and evening) transitions.     

放电条件下SF5CF3的分解反应

SF₅CF₃是近年被发现的具有强红外辐射强迫、长寿命的新温室气体.本文利用火花放电技术模拟研究了放电条件下SF₅CF₃的去除机理.结果表明,SF₅CF₃在放电过程中将被分解并生成多种含硫、氟、氧和碳的化合物.H₂O的存在能够降低SF₅CF₃的分解速率,但降低的量与H₂O的分压无关. 在有H₂O存在的条件下,当体系总压约为31kPa时,闪电过程中SF₅CF₃的分解速率常数分别为0.011s^-.同时,SF₅CF₃的分解率随着体系的总压上升而呈指数下降.基于实验结果,对SF₅CF₃在放电过程中的反应途径作了探讨,并估算实际大气中放电的一种形式--闪电所引起的SF₅CF₃的分解量为53.6 kg·a^-.

Using Meteorological Model Output as a Surrogate for On-Site Observations to Predict Deposition Velocity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Multi-Layer Model (NOAA-MLM) is used by several operational dry deposition networks for estimating the deposition velocity of O₃, SO₂, HNO₃, and particles. The NOAA-MLM requires hourly values of meteorological variables. Since collection of on-site meteorology can be expensive, a study was performed to compare NOAA-MLM predicted deposition velocitiesusing modeled meteorological data in lieu of on-site meteorological data. NOAA-MLM was run for three sites in the Clean Air Status and Trends Network using on-site data as well as the output of two mesoscale meteorological models, Eta and MM5. The differences between the deposition velocities predictedusing the mesoscale models and those predicted using the on-sitemeteorological measurements ranged from –0.001 to 0.106 cm s^-1 and were within the model error determined in NOAA-MLM evaluation studies. This research shows that the NOAA-MLM is particularly sensitive to differences in atmospheric turbulence,soil moisture budget, and canopy wetness.(On assignment to the National Exposure Research Laboratory, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.)
