Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an environment with varying temperatures affecting emission rates. Given a concentration gradient, derive how changes would adjust the Thornwaite-Holzman equation. Include at least two temperature measurements.
💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between temperature changes and atmospheric dynamics.
In an experimental setting, you measure the concentrations of pollutants at different heights. If concentrations at height 1 are 100 µg/m³ and at height 2 are 50 µg/m³, calculate the flux considering a friction velocity of 0.5 m/s. Discuss any assumptions made.
💡 Hint: Think about how concentration differences correlate with vertical height differences.
