Ian Longley Aerosol in Urban Street Canyons Fine aerosol, linked to adverse health effects (COMEAP, 2001, EPAQS,2000, Colville et al, 2001). Fine aerosol from vehicle emissions. Street canyons act as major emission sites. Large numbers of people exposed. Canyons re-circulate and trap pollutants. Canyon emissions transported across and beyond city – affecting chemical and radiative atmospheric properties and the biosphere. Need to understand transport within, and emission from, urban street canyons.

Ian Longley SCAR – Street Canyon Aerosol Research Regulatory dispersion models are based upon a simple transport mechanism – PM 10 only. Numerical modelling – simple canyons. Field studies are rare. SCAR to apply eddy correlation techniques. Aim: Parameterised size- segregated aerosol emission rates.

Ian Longley Temporal variation in fine aerosol spectra (4.6nm<D p <160nm) Total number concentrations generally follow traffic flow Road-side day-time concentrations are generally greater than night-time by a factor of around 4. Day-time and night-time spectra are the same shape.

Ian Longley Conclusions  The flux of accumulation mode aerosol (100nm<D p <3m) have been measured in a city centre street canyon and found to be related to urban heat emission and traffic activity.  Street-level fine aerosol has been shown to be influenced by asymmetrical vortex flow within the canyon.  A vertical gradient was found in fine aerosol number concentrations below roof level.  A weak positive vertical gradient was seen in turbulent variances. However, greatly enhanced variances were seen at the bottom of the canyon.  A parameterisation has been derived for  w based upon local wind speed and traffic flow rate.
