摘要

The West Central Airshed Society zone in west central Alberta has experienced high ground level ozone concentrations at a rural background station (Hightower Ridge) and at a rural station closer to anthropogenic activity (Tomahawk). The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling to evaluate historical ambient air quality and meteorological data collected at these two stations. The purpose of the evaluation was to attempt to explain the role that meteorological versus anthropogenic factors had in contributing to observed hourly average ozone concentrations. Hourly average ozone concentrations were analyzed using data for the months of March through September over the years 2001 and 2002. It was found that peak averaged ozone concentrations occurred between the hours of 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the range 79 to 88 μg/m3 (40 to 45 ppb). The highest averaged ozone concentrations occurred at the higher elevation station (Hightower Ridge, elevation 1,500 m above sea level). The lowest averaged ozone concentrations occurred during morning hours at each station. Much lower concentrations occur at the lower elevation station (Tomahawk, elevation 800 m above sea level). This diurnal pattern – I.e. peak levels in mid-afternoon and lower levels in early morning – are due to vertical convective mixing during day time hours and absence of this mixing during night time and early morning hours. Meteorological conditions are the most important factors related to the behavior of ozone concentrations observed at these stations. This behavior was confirmed using ANN modeling. Temperature, relative humidity, and pressure were all related to ozone concentrations. This strongly points to the importance of natural phenomena in mostly contributing to the presence of ground level ozone at these stations. Anthropogenic factors (precursor air pollutants originating from the activity of humans) are much less important.
