Meteo 440W Research Proposal Joel Maruschak Victoria Faranca
Sea Breeze Effect Source: NOAA
Land Breeze Effect Source: NOAA
Outline • Hypothesis: Pollutants will be blown out to the bay at night, brought back in during the day. • Find evidence of sea breeze and land breeze • Correlate with Pollutant concentrations
Ozone Concentration (PPB) Green: Values Below 10 Red: Values above 70 Times in Local Standard Time
Buoy Reports Data METARs
Concerns • Solar irradiance causes the same variation in pollutant concentrations • Is the sea breeze even strong enough?
