In regard to the synoptic-scale approach, eight directional and two vorticity types of the Lamb weather type (LWT) method are used in the analysis. Based on the results, poor air quality conditions are observed in all seasons during active southeasterly (SE, interaction between a low pressure over Italy and a high pressure over the Caspian Sea) circulation types (CTs). In winter, mainly easterly (E), SE, southerly (S), and anticyclonic (A) weather patterns result in above normal PM10 concentrations. In addition to these four CTs, southwesterly (SW) types also cause higher PM10 values in the spring season. During summer, SE, SW, westerly (W), and cyclonic (C) CTs are associated with above-normal PM10 values. During fall, obvious higher PM10 concentrations are found during SE, S, and A types.]]> Tue 25 Oct 2022 13:34:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19679 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37367 0.1µm and an embryo size smaller than the critical size, otherwise the contribution of direct vapour deposition mechanism could be significant. Based on the scaled nucleation barrier, three distinct nucleation regimes, i.e. athermal heterogeneous nucleation, thermal heterogeneous-dominant nucleation, and homogeneous-dominant nucleation, have been identified. When the contact angle was large, the wetting agent might need to be added to reduce the contact angle so as to reach the athermal heterogeneous and thermal heterogeneous-dominant nucleation regimes, thus achieving efficient particulate abatement at low cost. The prediction results matched reasonably with the experimental data.]]> Mon 19 Oct 2020 14:20:25 AEDT ]]>
