PROPERTIES OF THE ATMOSPHERE
• Troposphere: 0 - 11 km above ground• Stratosphere: above 11 km• 99% of atmospheric mass within 30 km• Equivalent to a large pancake of 25,000 km
diameter• Horizontal movements more pronounced than
vertical movements

HORIZONTAL ATMOSPHERIC MOTION - GLOBAL
• Solar heating maximum at the equator
(2.4 X heating at the poles, annual average)• Atmosphere carries heat from equator to poles• Long horizontal distance vs short height, break-up
into tropical, temperate, and polar cells (Figure 5.2 de Nevers)
• Rotation of Earth gives rise to different surface wind patterns in these three zones:
• Tropical: southeasterly and northeasterly (trade winds)• Temperate: Westerlies• Polar: Easterlies

HORIZONTAL ATMOSPHERIC MOTION - LOCAL
• Land surface heats and cools faster than ocean/lake surface.
• Daily and seasonal differences result in wind patterns between land and water bodies.
(Figure 5.13 de Nevers)
• “Random” wind patterns between high (anticyclone) and low pressure (cyclones) zones
superimposed on global and land-water winds

ANTICYCLONES - HIGH PRESSURE

• Sinking air near the ground
• Evaporating moisture, clearing sky
• Weak winds, outward from center, clockwise in the nothern hemisphere

TEMPERATURE LAPSE RATETHE STANDARD ATMOSPHERE
• Compared with soil and water, the atmosphere is relatively transparent to infrared radiation
• Soil and water surface absorb solar radiation, heat up and heat the adjacent air by convection
• Atmospheric temperature decreases from temperatures of 20 C at the surface, to around - 50 C at the troposphere-stratosphere boundary
• “Standard” atmospheric lapse rate: 6.5 C/km
(average over day and night, summer and winter)
• A positive value is quoted for lapse rate although temperature decreases with increasing height (Figure 5.7, de Nevers)
![Page 26: DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE Department of Environmental Engineering Prof. Dr. S. RAPSOMANIKIS Director, Laboratory of Atmospheric Pollution and of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5c0a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

SUPERADIABATIC LAPSE RATE
• Lapse rate more than the adiabatic 10 C/km,
e.g. 12 C/km • Small adiabatic displacements in the vertical
direction are enhanced by existing temperature profile
• UNSTABLE conditions, leading to effective mixing and dispersion
![Page 28: DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE Department of Environmental Engineering Prof. Dr. S. RAPSOMANIKIS Director, Laboratory of Atmospheric Pollution and of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5c0a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
SUBADIABATIC LAPSE RATE
• Lapse rate less than the adiabatic 10 C/km,
e.g. 8 C/km • Small adiabatic displacements in the vertical
direction are inhibited by existing temperature profile
• STABLE conditions, leading to poor mixing and dispersion
![Page 29: DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE Department of Environmental Engineering Prof. Dr. S. RAPSOMANIKIS Director, Laboratory of Atmospheric Pollution and of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5c0a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

INVERSIONS• Temperature increases with height above ground
(I.e. positive dT/dz, negative lapse rate)• Extremely stable conditions • Radiation inversion: daily occurrence due to
cooling of ground surface at night• Subsidence inversion: (elevated inversion,
inversion aloft): large regions of cold air sinking from above due to weather patterns, heating at adiabatic lapse rate
• Drainage inversion: due to horizontal motions, cold air sliding in under warm air, or warm air riding up on cold air
![Page 35: DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE Department of Environmental Engineering Prof. Dr. S. RAPSOMANIKIS Director, Laboratory of Atmospheric Pollution and of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5c0a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Subsidence inversion• Adiabatic compression and warming of a layer of air as it
sinks to lower altitudes in the region of a high pressure center.
• For an ideal gas:
• Cp ~ constant, higher at the bottom
• Top warming faster, positive temperature gradient could be established

FUMIGATION
• The daily radiation inversion starts breaking up near the ground as the ground heats.
• This can lead to a sandwich phenomenon with an inversion layer bounded by a stable layer above and an unstable layer below.
• As the unstable layer from below reaches the height of a pollutant plume in the inversion layer the plume mixes downward, producing temporary but high ground level concentrations.
(Figure 5.15 de Nevers)

Atmospheric stability
• Two governing factors:– Temperature gradient (lapse rate)– Turbulence due to wind
• Dry adiabatic lapse rate : 10 C / km• Saturated adiabatic lapse rate : 6 C /km• “Standard” profile : 6.6 C / km

MIXING HEIGHT
• Common to find superadiabatic lapse rate near ground level in the early afternoon under a strong sun.
• This gives rise to an UNSTABLE well mixed layer, above which there can be an adiabatic (NEUTRAL) or subadiabatic (STABLE) atmosphere. (Figure 5.9 de Nevers)
• Pollutants released at ground level will be dispersed in this well mixed layer, the lower the mixing height the higher the resultant pollutant concentration
![Page 47: DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE Department of Environmental Engineering Prof. Dr. S. RAPSOMANIKIS Director, Laboratory of Atmospheric Pollution and of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5697bfc41a28abf838ca5c0a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Κλιματική Αλλαγή.• Η άνοδος της
θερμοκρασίας στην Ευρώπη, υπερέβη τον παγκόσμιο μέσο όρο αύξησης κατά τον 20ο αι., δηλαδή το 0.95 °C.
• Η μεγαλύτερη αύξηση ήταν στην Ιβηρική χερσόνησο, ΝΔ της Ρωσίας και σε τμήματα του Ευρωπαϊκού Αρκτικής Περιοχής.
• Στην Ευρώπη τα 8 θερμότερα έτη παρατηρήθηκαν μετά το 1990, με κορυφαίο το 2000.

Observed Emissions and Emissions Scenarios
Emissions are on track for 3.2–5.4ºC “likely” increase in temperature above pre-industrialLarge and sustained mitigation is required to keep below 2ºC

What sort of lifestyle can the Earth sustain?
• Answers to some of these challenges can be found in the increased use of renewable energy.
• Many of the environmental problems we currently face are rooted in the way European land is used, and in the European economic structure and lifestyle.
