Abstract:

The impact of air pollution caused by traffic has become a major environmental consideration in developing new and improved highway facilities. The acquisition of meaningful meteorological data which are applicable to individual highway projects is essential to effective air quality analyses. These data are used as inputs to air pollution dispersion models and for other departmental needs.

this research was undertaken primarily to develop a standard technique for determining meteorological monitoring sites in south central and southwestern Louisiana from which wind vectors that are representative of any highway project undertaken in the region of south Louisiana from the Texas border to 90o 30'W longitude may be obtained.

The primary conclusions of this study are:

1. For projects on open and homogeneous terrain, wind vectors obtained from any national weather service sensor in south central and southwestern Louisiana not relatively close (within 10 to 20 miles) to a large water body may be used.

2. Other highway project sites require localized mapping of wind streamlines determined from data taken over a minimum period of one year.
