Hazy Days: Measuring Atmospheric Haze Levels
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | | | City: | , | | School: | | | Abstract: | This project measured atmospheric haze levels using the Aerosol Optical Thickness of the atmosphere. Measurements were taken with a self-constructed Sun Photometer. Haze levels were measured over a thirty-day-period, once every hour at the same location in Calgary. The findings of this experiment indicate that atmospheric haze levels increase in the morning and evening, coinciding with commuter traffic, demonstrating a cause and effect relationship. |
