TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND REGIONAL AIR QUALITY. AN APPROACH AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR WIND FLOW FIELD ANALYSIS

Regional air quality studies and photochemical simulation models require the description of wind flow patterns for specific hours of various meteorological regimes. An interdisciplinary team that includes a meteorologist, and air pollution modeler, an environmental planner, and an air quality engineer can use plots of wind vectors to design a network of wind monitoring stations. Along with user instructions, input forms, and a computer program, an approach for conducting a wind flow field analysis is presented.
