LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION [1 record]

Record 1 2002-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

The long-range transport (LRT) model is a combination of submodels of the physical and chemical processes involved in long-range transport of various species under consideration.

CONT

Both wet and dry deposition are parts of the overall LRTAP process. This process refers to the emission, transport, transformation and deposition of air pollutants during long-range transport (hundreds to thousands of km) and includes not only acid-causing pollutants stressed in this paper but also other pollutants such as hydrocarbons, trace elements, and persistent organics.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Pour certains polluants, transport atmosphérique qui s'effectue sur une distance supérieure à 100 kilomètres ou pendant une période supérieure à 48 heures.

CONT

la répartition entre les effets causés par les rejets locaux et ceux causés par le transport à longue distance demeure à ce jour une connaissance à acquérir.

OBS

Quand on utilise le terme «transport à grande distance des polluants atmosphériques», qu'on abrège par «TGDPA», on désigne non plus le simple transport à grande distance mais surtout les phénomènes d'altération liés à ce transport. La même remarque s'applique au terme anglais «long range transport of atmospheric pollutants», qu'on abrège par «LRTAP».
