Trajectory analysis for British Columbia / D.A. Faulkner.: En57-45/84-1E-PDF

"Analyses of numerically calculated back trajectories for four British Columbia locations are presented. These are found to be consistent with synoptic experience and climatological data. Mean tracks of air parcels arriving at locations in southern B.C. are over Puget Sound and south western B.C., source areas of pre-cursor sulphate and nitrate pollutants. This indicates a potential exists for wet deposition of pollutants in B.C. from these sources. A technique for forecasting POP (Probability of Precipitation) using forecast trajectories is suggested"--Abstract.
