ABSTRACT

The aerodynamic gradient method was applied to estimate dry deposition flux of SO2 over dry deciduous forest in Nakorn Ratchasima province, Thailand. The meteorological parameters and concentrations of SO2 were measured in real time for one year on the experimental tower at 36 and 27 m high. The flux observed in the wet season were found two times higher than the value observed in the dry seasons, i.e. 20±7.58 and 10±11.05 ng m-2 s-1, respectively. The leaf area index and the ambient humidity were believed to assert the rate of SO2 deposition. The average friction velocities were estimated to be 0.26±0.02 and 0.48±0.06 m s¹, for the dry and the wet season, respectively. The friction velocity was very much depended on the surface roughness of the forest canopy. The Vd of SO2 evaluated by the aerodynamic gradient was compared with Vd calculated by the resistance model. It was found that the observed Vd was in close proximity with the model prediction in daytime in all conditions, i.e. wet, dry and annual average. The annual average Vd determined by the Aerodynamic gradient was 0.43±0.06 cm s-1.

ABSTRAK

Kaedah kecerunan aerodinamik digunakan untuk menganggarkan pemendapan kering SO2 ke atas hutan kering di wilayah Nakorn Ratchasima, Thailand. Parameter meteorologi dan kepekatan SO2 diukur pada masa sebenar untuk satu tahun di menara eksperimen pada ketinggian 36 dan 27 m. Fluks yang diperhatikan pada musim hujan mempunyai nilai dua kali ganda lebih tinggi daripada nilai yang diperhatikan pada dalam musim kering, iaitu masing-masing pada 20±7.58 dan 10±11.05 ng m-2 s-1. Indeks kawasan daun dan kelembapan sekeliling digunakan untuk mendapatkan kadar pemendapan SO2. Geseran purata kelajuan dianggarkan masing-masing pada 0.26±0.02 dan 0.48±0.06 m s¹ untuk musim kering dan hujan. Halaju geseran sangat bergantung kepada kekasaran permukaan kanopi hutan. Vd SO2 dinilai melalui kecerunan aerodinamik dibandingkan dengan Vd yang dikira melalui model rintangan. Didapati bahawa penilaian Vd hampir sama dengan ramalan model di siang hari dalam semua keadaan, iaitu basah, kering dan purata tahunan. Purata tahunan Vd yang ditentukan melalui kecerunan aerodinamik adalah pada 0.43±0.06 cm s-1.
