- Abstract:
- Vehicle exhaust emissions are a significant source of air pollution in urban areas. Given the constraints on horizontal dispersion in the urban canopy layer, vertical transport processes may play an important role in determining local and regional air quality. However, little is known about the vertical distribution of pollutants with height or the efficiency of pollutant exchange between street canyons and the urban boundary layer aloft. Funding is sought to support a year-long field campaign designed to measure the turbulent exchanges of energy, particulates and carbon dioxide between a street canyon and the urban boundary layer in Toulouse, France.
