Application Type: Recording baseline air quality and meteorological data at proposed power plant sites Location: Utah, USA Products Used: Q7_1-L LI200X-L CS105 HMP45C-L A21REL-12 COM210A CR23X Contributors: William J. Hauze, Meteorological Solutions, Inc. Contracting Agencies: Various energy concerns Measured Parameters: Horizontal wind speed/direction, vertical wind speed, sigma theta of the wind direction, air temperature, delta temperature, solar radiation, net radiation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, precipitation, sulfur dioxide, PM10, PM2.5 Controlled Equipment: Atmospheric gas samplers |
Meteorological sensors we either mounted on 50 or 100 meter towers. Wind and temperature sensors were boom-mounted on electrically powered instrument lift carriages at 100 or 50 meters and at 10 meters. The tower sensor configuration included Met One 010C/020Cs, and RM Young RTD temperature probes with aspirated shields at 2, 10, and 50 or 100 meter levels. This arranged allowed for a variety of delta temperature calculations to satisfy different dispersion model input requirements. Atmospheric stability was calculated using three different methods.
