Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Total Nitrate Concentrations Using Dynamic Statistical Models
利用动态统计模型分析总硝酸盐浓度的时空变化
Atmospheric concentrations of total nitrate (TNO3), defined here as gas-phase nitric acid plus particle-phase nitrate, are difficult to simulate in numerical air quality models due to the presence of a variety of formation pathways and loss mechanisms, some of which are highly uncertain. The goal of this study is to estimate the relative importance of these different pathways across the Eastern United States by identifying empirical relationships that exist between TNO3…
