Slide 19 of 31
Notes:
This is the first three panel Voyager movie generated from actual data that represents the transport of tropospheric pollution within New England and into the Eastern Provinces. Of equal importance, ozone data collected from the Scotia Prince Ferry (that traverses the Gulf of Maine from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth, N.S. twice daily) can be seen as hourly values during the ships passage.
Vector wind speeds and directions are are run in concert with color segregated ground level ozone readings (from Long Island Sound to Prince Edward Island) and at the bottom, a profile of the five day air quality episode.
As the movie is run in animation or single step mode, concentrations are seen to maximize on the 21st of July, 1994. Values indicated by the Scotia Prince three hours off-shore the coast of Maine exceed the NAAQS standard of .124 ppm as the boat literally runs into a plume (which then migrates toward the coast, mixes with fresh continental emissions/ozone, and cumulatively impacts inland air quality).
