There are many atmospheric reactions that attribute to the levels of ozone in the troposphere. To better quantify ozone levels during a high ozone episode at a site, Chiwaukee Prairie, where our group sampled ozone via an ...

The lower atmosphere is typically well-mixed during the daytime because the earth's atmosphere is heated by solar heating warming up the ground or ocean surfaces. Inversions in the atmosphere in the daytime, where warmer ...

The lake breeze is a meteorological phenomenon which factors into the air quality near the shorelines of Lake Michigan with significant impacts in studies of meteorology, chemistry, atmospheric physics, and more. Using ...

Surface ozone is generated by photochemical production in a stable atmosphere which can be affected by a multitude of factors. We are looking at the correlation between topography, lake breeze extent and ozone gradients ...

The 2017 Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) was a collaborative, multi-agency field campaign that ran May 22, 2017, through June 22, 2017, in eastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. The UW-Eau Claire mobile platform ...

The intention of this project is to measure atmospheric composition and properties by attaching sensors to an unmanned aerial system (UAS). One of those sensors is a five hole probe, capable of measuring 3-dimensional air ...

With technological advances in unmanned vehicles ramping up, research that used to cost a fortune is becoming relatively cheap and less time consuming. This project is aimed toward incorporating atmospheric sensors into a ...

Concern has arisen about levels of silica in ambient particles near frac sand mines. In order to assess these levels of silica, we have adopted an XRD analysis to test real air samples. Calibrations were constructed with ...

Analyzing atmospheric conditions in situ using manned airplanes has historically been effective and limiting. With the growing usage of UAS, this project is aimed at incorporating atmospheric sensors into a UAS as a viable, ...

In the last 10 years, hydro fracturing has completely transformed the sand mining industry. In Wisconsin, the nation’s leading sand producer, the number of industrial sand facilities has grown from just 8 in 20081 to 129 ...
