This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM covers Atmospheric Sciences Research at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), including the Urban Atmospheric Observatory. The Atmospheric Sciences Division is engaged in a wide range of programs encompassing interpretive and theoretical studies, measurement methodology, laboratory experiments, and field studies. Areas of research include (1) development of methods and practical instruments for detection and real-time measurement of a variety of atmospheric constituents for use in field studies and laboratory experiments; (2) development and application of gaseous tracers applicable at extremely low concentrations for studies of atmospheric transport and dispersion, building air infiltration and ventilation, geophysics of oil and gas recovery from production wells, and leak detection in fluid handling systems; (3) theoretical, laboratory, and field studies directed at understanding the formation and behavior of aerosols; (4) studies of the formation, transport, mixing, and removal of gaseous and particulate Established in 1947, the Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy. Located on Long Island, New York in Upton, BNL employs 3000 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff and over 4000 guest researchers annually conduct research. Five Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at BNL. BNL’s role is to produce excellent science and advanced technology by carrying out basic and applied research in long-term, high-risk programs at the frontier of science. Coverage features dramatic color photography and extensive experimental reporting.
