Non Nulling Measurements of Flue Gas Flows in a Coal-Fired Power Plant Stack

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, Iosif I. Shinder, Bernard J. Filla, Joey T. Boyd, Rodney A. Bryant, Michael R. Moldover
Exhaust flows from coal-fired stacks are determined by measuring the flue gas velocity at prescribed points in the stack cross section. During the last 30+ years these velocity measurements have been made predominantly using S-type pitot probes. These

Siting background towers to characterize incoming air for urban GHG estimation: a case study in the Washington DC/Baltimore Area

June 5, 2019

Kimberly L. Mueller, Vineet Yadav, Israel Lopez Coto, Anna Karion, Sharon M. Gourdji, Cory R. Martin, James R. Whetstone
There is increased interest in understanding urban greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, to accurately estimate city emissions, the influence of exurban fluxes must first be removed from urban greenhouse gas (GHG) observations. This is especially true

Spatio-temporally resolved methane fluxes from the Los Angeles Megacity

Kimberly Mueller
We combine sustained observations from a network of atmospheric monitoring stations with inverse modeling to uniquely obtain (3 km, 4 day) spatio-temporal estimates of methane emissions from the Los Angeles Megacity and the broader South Coast Air Basin

Dual comb spectroscopy with tailored spectral broadening in nanophotonic Si3N4

April 15, 2019
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Edgar Perez, Gabriel M. Colacion, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Kevin Cossel, Gabriel Ycas, David Carlson, Kartik Srinivasan, Scott Papp, Ian Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
Spectral broadening of compact robust Er+: fiber combs is demonstrated with tailored Si3N4 waveguides to obtain spectrally-smooth broadened light in the 2 μm 2.5 μm atmospheric water window for gas spectroscopy. This successfully extends the Er+ spectrum

Inter-comparison of Atmospheric Trace Gas Dispersion Models: Barnett Shale Case Study

February 28, 2019
Author(s)
Anna Karion, Thomas Lauvaux, Israel Lopez Coto, Colm Sweeney, Kimberly L. Mueller, Sharon M. Gourdji, Wayne Angevine, Zachary R. Barkley, Aijun Deng, Ariel Stein, James R. Whetstone
Greenhouse gas emissions mitigation requires understanding dominant processes controlling fluxes of these trace gases into the atmosphere at increasingly finer spatial and temporal scales. Trace gas fluxes can be estimated using a variety of approaches
