Analysis of Temperature Differences and Inversions at Various Elevations

This analysis examines temperature differences and inversions between high-elevation weather stations and lower-elevation stations in a mountainous region. It explores how daytime inversions at lake levels could impact smoke concentrations in the valley, particularly focusing on the effects on air quality monitoring stations and PM2.5 levels at different elevation points.

Presentation Transcript

1. Heres a graph weve seen before: Temperature differences between Point 6 (high-elevation weather station) and Seeley Lake Airport (lower-elevation station) Difference, oF Inversion No inversion

2. Temperature differences: Higher-elevation station minus lower-elevation station Point 6 minus Seeley Lake Airport (mountain top minus valley) Point 6 (7920 ft) Inversion No inversion ~3664 ft Seeley Lake Airport (4256 ft)

3. Temperature differences: Higher-elevation station minus lower-elevation station Point 6 minus Seeley Lake Airport (mountain top minus valley) Point 6 (7920 ft) Inversion No inversion ~3664 ft Seeley Lake Airport minus Seeley Lake Ranger Station (valley minus lake surface) No inversion Seeley Lake Airport (4256 ft) Seeley Lake Ranger Station (3993 ft) Inversion ~263 ft

4. Could daytime inversions at the lake level affect smoke concentrations in the valley? Point 6 (7920 ft) ~3664 ft Seeley Lake Airport (4256 ft) Seeley Lake Ranger Station (3993 ft) ~263 ft

5. Could daytime inversions at the lake level affect smoke concentrations in the valley? Point 6 (7920 ft) Air quality monitoring station: 4065 ft ~3664 ft Seeley Lake Airport (4256 ft) Seeley Lake Ranger Station (3993 ft) ~263 ft

6. Could daytime inversions at the lake level affect smoke concentrations in the valley? Seeley Lake health effects of PM2.5 Inversion Top layer of air: Point 6 minus Seeley Lake Airport (mountain top minus valley) Temperature difference, oF No inversion No inversion No inversion Bottom layer of air: Seeley Lake Airport minus Seeley Lake Ranger Station (valley minus lake surface) Inversion Inversion
