Abstract |
The Region, for purposes of this study, encompasses the three metropolitan areas of Philadelphia-Camden, Trenton, and Wilmington, located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware respectively. The end objective of the study is to define the requirements for the development of an air resource management and control system appropriate to the solution of the problem in the 11-county tri-state Region, and, specifically, to determine the governmental machinery and arrangements through which such a system can operate effectively. Two meteorological elements are of primary concern in air pollution problems in this report. They are the wind (wind speed and direction and their change with height) and the temperature structure through the lowest air layers. |
