Question 1.
Define the term 'advection'.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how wind moves pollution from one place to another.
Question 2.
What is mixing height?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how mixing might differ at different elevations.
3Question 3.
What is the primary process through which pollutants are carried by wind?
- Dispersion
- Advection
- Reaction
Show hintHide hint
Consider the role of wind in spreading substances in the atmosphere.
4Question 4.
True or False: The mixing height can vary throughout the day.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how daytime heating affects air stability.
Question 5.
Model the expected concentration levels at ground level for a pollution source that varies in height and stability from day to night.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the differences in stability based on the time of day.
Question 6.
Evaluate how a rise in temperature can affect your pollution model in both stable and unstable atmospheric conditions.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how temperature gradients determine mixing height.
