Compounding problems were extensive power outages. But PP&L spokesman Daday said, ''The point is that we were really spared. We had an early warning; we were all prepared and reacted in good fashion.
Compounds of carbon, chlorine and flourine, which have been responsible for destruction of high-level ozone.
Circulation ...
chlorine compounds"Any chemical compound containing chlorine (Cl), the 17th element in the periodic table. There are a number of chlorine-containing compounds found in the atmosphere, which are emitted from a variety of sources.
WATER Refers to the chemical compound, H2O, as well as its liquid form. At atmospheric temperatures and pressures, it can exist in all three phases: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gaseous (water vapor).
Walls are coated with waterproofing compounds or plastic sheeting. Openings like doors windows, sewer lines and vents are closed, whether permanently, with removable shields, or with sandbags.
Chloroflourocarbon (CFC) A family of compounds of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon, entirely of industrial origin.
inorganic chemical compositionThe chemical composition of an aerosol, with the exception of those with hydrocarbons, and usually including carbides, oxides of carbon, metallic carbonates, carbon sulfur compounds, and carbon nitrogen compounds.
One common trade off in numerical models is between the number of chemical compounds and chemical reactions modelled versus the representation of transport and mixing in the atmosphere.
transient tracers Chemical elements (often radioactive) or compounds that have finite lifetimes. Atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s released large quantities of radionuclides to the atmosphere.
The ozone depleting compounds contain combinations of the elements chlorine, fluorine, bromine, carbon and hydrogen. The general term for them is HALOCARBONS.
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) a compound consisting of chlorine,fluorine, and carbon. CFCs are very stable in the troposphere.
A general term pertaining to compounds of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and other oxides of nitrogen. Nitrogen oxides are typically created during combustion processes, and are major contributors to smog formation and acid deposition.
PHENOLIC: A plastic molding compound formed by the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. It can be heavily reinforced or "filled" with glass fibers or other materials.
CFC (Chlorofluorocarbons)- Chlorine compounds formerly used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and spray cans; also called CFC's.
Climate-The average, year-after-year conditions of temperature, precipitation, winds, and clouds in an area.
Ozone- An unstable oxygen compound that is a pollutant at ground level, but that absorbs deadly ultraviolet rays in the stratosphere.
Ozone Hole- A thinning of the ozone layer over Antarctica, which occurs each spring.
Air pollution containing ozone and other reactive chemical compounds formed by the reaction of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight.
Photosphere ...
A reservoir that uptakes a chemical element or compound from another part of its cycle. For example, soil and trees tend to act as natural sinks for carbon.
Sleet(6) ...
The effect compounds that at (2) above, the net effect of evaporative and phase-change cooling is quite significant - lowering the ZDL by some hundreds of metres in prolonged precipitation.
An example is photchemical smog which results from a mixture of sunlight, automobile exhaust (nitrous oxides) and various volatile organic compounds. This type of smog often forms in valleys or areas with poor ventilation climatology.
