Wind tunnel experiments on how thermal stratification affects flow in and above urban street canyons

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of atmospheric stability on flow in urban street canyons were studied using a stratified wind tunnel using a laser Doppler anemometer and a cold wire to measure the flow field and temperature within and above the street canyon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on critical Reynolds number indices for wind-tunnel experiments on flow within urban areas

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured flow around a single model building and around model city blocks at various wind speeds, and studied Reynolds number indices more appropriate than the building Reynolds number, and found that Reynolds-number independence could be expected for whole flow fields in the modelled urban areas as long as the critical values of Rez0 and z+ were satisfied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal variation in atmospheric aerosols concentration covering Northern Kyushu, Japan and Seoul, Korea

TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal variations in aerosol concentration and composition were analyzed with meteorological data to clarify the seasonal variation of aerosol concentrations and composition, and it was concluded that air masses from the Chinese continent have brought the greatest amount of anthropogenic pollutants to Korea and Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI

A wind tunnel for studying the effects of thermal stratification in the atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, a wind tunnel designed to study the effects of thermal stratification on flow and diffusion in the atmospheric boundary layer has been constructed and three independent temperature systems that control the ambient air temperature (from 12 to 87° C), the temperature profile (gradient up to ∂T ∂z = 25°C m −1 ), and the surface temperature (eight individual floor panels, from 7 to 112°C for each) in the test section.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observational study of stratospheric ozone intrusions into the lower troposphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamic behavior of stratospheric ozone intrusion processes into the lower troposphere intensive field observations were made during the middle ten days of May 1986 covering the northern Kyushu district.
