Description:
Temporal airborne bacterial concentrations and meteorological conditions were measured above a grass seed field in the Willamette River Valley, near Corvallis, Oregon, in the summer of 1993. he report describes the changes in the atmospheric surface layer over a grass seed field during three time periods: early, mid- and late summer of 1993. he overall conclusion from these observations is that because of the close relationship among sunrise, convective inversion, and sea breeze processes, the observed airborne bacterial concentration changes are greatly influenced by the local meteorological conditions in the Willamette River Valley.
