The work of Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland in atmospheric chemistry has largely contributed to explaining the chemical processes that cause ozone to form and decompose. They demonstrated, among other things, how sensitive the ozone layer is to the anthropogenic emission of air pollutants.
PRESENTATION @ MALDIVES NASA OBSERVATORY: Lecture Delivered by him on Topic Anthropocene (Prof. P. J. Crutzen) Was Highly Informative and Inspiring Conducted on 6th October, 2004.
In many ways human activities are expanding and outpacing nature. Human population, has increased tenfold in the past 3 to 4 centuries: almost half of the people live in cities and mega – cities. Almost half of the continental surface has been changed by human. The release of SO2 (160 Tg/ Year) by coal and oil burning is at least twice the sum of all natural emission; over land the increase has been 7 fold, causing acid rain, health effects, poor visibility and climatic effects due to aerosols. Releases of NO to the atmosphere from fossil fuel and biomass burning is larger amount than natural sources, producing ozone in the troposphere.
On the other hand large ozone depletion has been large in the stratosphere (the ozone hole);
Human impact on the atmosphere has resulted in the growth of so – called “Green House Gases” (GHG) leading to a “Global Warming” (GW) by about 0.6°C, with more to come. Human activities have grown too much that it is justifiable to propose that we are in the Anthropocene, the human – dominated era.
IPCC – 2001;
GHG including Tropospheric Ozone (since pre – industrial times): Their effect on radiative forcing;
GHG forcing ~ 2.7 W/ m2 (very well known);
Heating of the ocean ~ 0.3 W/ m2; and
Increasing upward IR ~ 1 W/ m2 (from hotter surface of earth), assuming constant relative humidity.
Therefore, in order to get energy balance, there has been an increased albedo effect ~ 1.4 W/ m2 (~ 50% of GHG). This word means that half of “Green House Gases” (GHG) warning is balanced by increased backscattering of solar radiation to space due to increased cloudiness and backscattering of radiation by aerosol, or a combination of both. This too probably involves human activities in short air pollution. This may imply that reducing air pollution (particularly from the atmosphere may mean increasing climate warming).
The addition of the heat of energy use by humans is about 0.025 W/ m2. The problem with human energy use is that the energy largely comes from fossil fuel burning, enhancing the warming to 2.7 about 100 W/ m2 times larger.
Climate cause and effect (feedback) linkage;
Human activities is very hard to predict;
Global climate 2000: IPCC projected that the global temperature increase up to 1.4°C – 5.8°C in 2100 from the year 2000. After 1960 the temperature increase can only be explained by increasing human activities;
“There is new and stronger evidence that most of warning observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities” (IPCC – 2001);
To stabilize climate CO2 reduction is required greater than 60%, Nitrous Oxide is required 70% – 80%;
We should not count on nature to “Heal” the impact of “Green House Gases” (GHG) emission on climate. When temperature is increasing @ the same time as CO2 and CH4 are also increases; and
GHG emission per capita is highest in North America and lowest in the developing country. Developing countries are expecting to emit increasing amount of “Green House Gases” (GHG) in the near future.
PRESENTATION @ MALDIVES NASA OBSERVATORY: The Role of the Tropics in Atmospheric Chemistry Was Eminently Explored and Delivered by Prof. P. J. Crutzen on 8th October, 2004.
CO2 is important to the photosynthesis. For the chemistry in the atmosphere is not important. In the atmosphere, annual growth of methane was +0.6% per year, but has stabilized at the present. O3 and CH4 are very important to study chemistry in the atmosphere. They are also “Green House Gases” (GHG). O3 is very low concentration in the troposphere, but more concentration in the stratosphere (~30 Km). Nitrous oxide (GHG) is 0.31 ppm. The annual growing is +0.25% per year for annual growth. CFCl3 and CF2Cl2 are very low concentration (0.27 × 10-9 and 0.53 × 10-9), but there are very important in the atmosphere. Because CFC will affect O3 in the stratosphere.
The decreasing of temperature is up to 200 mb and then stable because of ozone. From 200 mb ozone is increasing rapidly. Maximum ozone concentration can be seen usually in 20 Km – 25 Km.
Why we would have ozone in the troposphere?
The ozone from the stratosphere leak at around 310 nm and by photolysis form OD’ which react water vapor to form OH, which despite very low concentration (globally average molar ratios of 3 × 10-14) is responsible for the removal of almost all gases that are emitted by natural processes and human activities. Radical which react with trace gases can form ozone. For example CH4, NOX.
OH Formation :
: O3 + UV → O (‘D) + O2
O (‘D) + H2O → 2OH
Ozone get some energy (≤ 320 nm) then OH is formed. Some of gases will go to the stratosphere. Aerosol will be removed by rainfall.
Tropospheric Ozone Production Photochemical Process :
:
:
:
:
: CO + OH → H + CO2
H + O2 + M → HO2 + M
HO2 + NO → OH + NO2
NO2 + UV → NO + O
O + O2 + M → O3 + M
⇨ CO + 2O2 → CO2 + O3
Ozone formation depends how much of NO is present in the stratosphere, which acts as a catalyst, If the ratio of NO and O3 is less than 1/ 4000, the ozone is destroyed.
Ozone Formation Depends How Much of NO is Present in the Stratosphere :
:
:
: CO + OH → H + CO2
H + O2 + M → HO2 + M
HO2 + O3 → OH + 2O2
⇨ CO + O3 → CO2 + O2
Reaction with OH determines life time of most gases that are emitted the atmosphere.
For Example CH4 8 Years
C2H6
C5H8 (lsoprene Emitted by Trees) :
:
: Almost as much in the Southern as in the Northern Hemisphere.
2 Months etc.
A few hours… Only in Tropical Forest…!!!
OH does not react with CFCl3, CFCl2 CCl4 etc.
At wavelength less than 200 nm the main gases, oxygen and nitrogen absorbed solar radiation at high altitudes. In the range of 200 nm – 300 nm is O3. 310 nm is UV – B comes down to the surface and will damage the skin. So wavelength is less than 310 nm is safe for humans.
Distribution of tropospheric O3 still uncertain;
Distribution of CO still uncertain; and
Distribution of CO still uncertain, distribution of NOx even far less certain, vary variable.
Time series of GHG: Methane is increasing to the present day, but has now stabilized (no growth at present).

The comparison among several years (during 1968 – 1989) found that ozone concentration in 1968 was less than in 1989 in the troposphere, but in the stratosphere is vice versa. We can do the ozone modeling and take a look the results.
In 1965: Maximum total ozone in the spring in both the Southern Hemisphere in the Northern Hemisphere. In the tropic area the ozone is minimum, about 280 Dobson Units, corresponding to 2.8 mm of ozone if it could be compressed to conditions of the earth’s surface. Note that 90% of all ozone in the atmosphere is formed in the stratosphere.
Minimum total ozone in the vertical and maximum water vapor are formed in the tropics. That is where most OH is formed. The density activity in the atmosphere by reaction with OH maximizes in the tropics. The tropic should, therefore, be the cleanest part of the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the pollution sources over land are also very strong in the tropics, especially during the dry season.

CONCLUSION:

MENTION THAT BIOMASS BURNING IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF POLLUTION IN THE TROPICS. IF WE CONSIDER BIOMASS BURNING, MUCH OF IVOLVING DEFORESTRATION, SAVANNA GRASS FIRES, AGRICULTURAL WASTE BURNING AND SHIFTING AGRICULTURE, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT AIR POLLUTION IS VERY STRONG IN THE TROPICS, INCLUDING THE TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. BIOMASS BURNING LEADS TO HIGH LEVELS OF POLLUTANTS, FOR INSTANCE CO, NOX AND O3 (OZONE), WHICH HAS BEEN OBSERVED. EVEN FROM SATELLITES OR SPACE CRAFTS LAUNCHING SYSTEM WHOLE AROUND THE GLOBE ETC…!!!
1. Urban Heat Mitigation Strategies, Technologies in Terms of Cooling Cities Strategies… to Mitigate Urban Heat
Description: Although the “Urban Heat Island” (UHI) phenomenon was been documented over a century ago, the effect of the urban heat island on the urban climate and environment during the summer has only been the focus of research over the last three to five decades. One main characteristic of the recent research has been to evaluate the summertime Heat Waves’ effects on UHI through Energy Use, Air Pollution, Outdoor Ambient Temperature, and Citizen Health. The second aspect of the recent research has been the development and evaluation of materials to counter the effects of summertime UHI. This study provides a selective representation (by topic) review of the research on the development and evaluation of Urban “Heat Mitigation Measures” (HMM), including cool roofs, cool pavements, and urban vegetation.
This diversified and expanded analysis of the different natural and built environment strategies and technologies for adaptation – “Urban Greenery, Green Roofs, Walls, Water – Based Technologies, Cool Roofs, and Cool Pavements – To Help Local Governments Reduce the Effect of Increased Heat on Their Communities and Citizens”. The study stresses that “individually, each mitigation strategy can reduce high temperatures in urban areas; together in a citywide adoption, they can drastically reduce the “UHI” (Urban Heat Island) effect itself while providing many additional co – benefits”.
This discussion also examines the existing urban heat mitigation policies and interventions, including “government operations themselves, mandatory or incentives for private choices, and public education. Governments face challenges in adapting to urban heat because of the complexity of choices available, limited resources, the need to coordinate among many local agencies, and, in some cases, skepticism about “Climate Change” (CC) as depicted in Table 1. Although commissioned by many governments, the geographical focus is mainly characterizing the policy recommendations, while the analysis of the available policies, measures, and technologies has a global focus and can be relevant for European countries, in particular, the Southern ones.
As illustrated in Figure 1 the urban energy balance is driven by shortwave radiative input from the sun. In mid – latitudes, the summer midday shortwave flux may exceed 1000 W/ m2. As the shortwave radiation reaches surfaces in the urban environment it is partially absorbed and partially reflected. The ratio of reflected total incoming solar radiative heat flux is referred to as the albedo. It is important to note that solar radiation spans the frequency spectrum with most of the sun’s energy content being concentrated in the shortwave (0.4 µm to 0.7 µm) visible range. Hence high albedo surfaces are generally characterized by being light in color, or white. One key cause of heat islands is that cities tend to have lower albedos than the unbuilt surroundings. Compounding this albedo difference is the underlying morphology of cities. When solar radiation is reflected from a street surface some of it escapes the urban canopy, but some (depending upon the sky view factor) are intercepted and partially absorbed by exterior building walls. So, the effective albedo of a city can be significantly lower than that of the rural countryside and even lower than the albedo of any individual component surface.
Figure 1: A Simplified Model of the Urban Energy Balance Including Anthropogenic Activities OR Industrial Heating as a Source Term (Qf).
2. MITIGATION STRATEGIES
As noted above the urban heat island exists in both summer and winter seasons. In fact, it is generally largest in the winter when it has some beneficial characteristics related to reducing the demand for heating energy. In summer, however, the existence of the heat island has negative implications in three key areas – air quality, human health, and energy consumption for air conditioning. It is this summertime heat island that generally spawns an interest in mitigation. Hence, mitigation strategies are generally focused on reducing summertime heat island magnitudes and may have less desirable effects during the winter.

A Filtration Unit to Remove Debris and Silt from the Harvested Water. Diagram Explaining the Working of First Flush Diverters.
A Typical Filter Arrangement in a Rainwater Harvesting System. Installing the Pipe System for the Rainwater Collection.
Figure 6: Building a Storage Tank for Rainwater Collection. A People Walking through a Flooded Street in Mumbai. Mumbai Receives Heavy Rains Every Year Which gives it a Potential to Excel @ Rainwater Harvesting System.
2.1 Each Drain Pipe and Collecting System Should Have:
A mesh filter at the mouth and first flush (also known as roof washer) device which will divert the first flow of water away from the tank;
A filtration system before connecting to the storage tank;
An air gap to prevent storm water backflow;
Each tank should have an excess water overflow system;
Excess water could be diverted to the recharge system;
Water from storage tanks can be used for secondary purposes such as washing and gardening etc.
The main advantage of collecting and using rainwater during the rainy season is not only to save water from conventional sources… but also to “Save and Conserve Energy Resources” incurred on transportation and distribution of water at the doorstep.
This also conserves groundwater, if it is being extracted to meet the demand for freshwater.
Determining the amount of storage is dependent on the site and the purpose for which water would be used;
To get a good idea of how much tank volume would be needed one needs to have access to some good rainfall data. If there is no access to good data then will have to fill in the blanks with estimates.
2.2 Decide on the Features of the System:
1. First Flush Diverters:
The first flush is a device used to flush off the water received in the first shower. The first shower of rain needs to be flushed – off to avoid contaminating storable/ rechargeable water with the probable contaminants of the atmosphere and the catchment roof; and
It will also help in cleaning silt and other material deposited on the roof during dry seasons. Provisions of the first rain separators should be made at the outlet of each drainpipe.
2. Filter:
Filters are used for the treatment of water to effectively remove turbidity, colour, and microorganisms. After the first flushing of rainfall, water should pass through filters;
Gravel, sand, and “Netlon Mesh Filters” are designed and placed on top of the storage tank; and
It prevents silt, dust, leaves, and other organic matter from entering the storage tank.
The filter media should be cleaned daily after every rainfall event. Clogged filters prevent rainwater from easily entering the storage tank and the filter may overflow.
3. Limited Sources of Contamination:
Check your roof surface materials is suitable for collecting appropriate quality water and trim overhanging vegetation; and
Install gutter mesh to prevent leaves and debris from blocking gutters and pipes.
4. Additional Features Which Could be Added:
Add a UV filter in case it is to be used for drinking water;
Gravity feed to tanks;
Pumped distribution system;
Each tank can individually be emptied for cleaning;
Recharging of groundwater aquifers; and
Automated irrigation technique/ methodology implementing system.
2.3 Installing the Pipes and Tank
For Installing Pipes:
1. Seek the necessary permissions (if required) from the authorities to lay the pipes;
2. Dig Trenches, if laid underground as per requirement as portrayed in the Figures 7, 8, and 9;
3. It is preferable to have the pipe as a single fall to avoid sediment collecting in places that cannot be reached easily for cleaning;
4. Lay the pipes in trenches or otherwise and connect them using connectors; and
5. For the system to work the collector site must be at a higher level than the inlet to the tank and hence the sump.
2.4 Waste Management System/ Structure Coordination” (WMS/ SC)
The Contractor should provide separate garbage bins in the camps for bio – degradable, non – biodegradable “Waste Management System/ Structure Coordination” (WMS/ SC) and ensure that these are regularly emptied and disposed – off in safe and scientific manner;
The disposal of kitchen waste and other bio – degradable matter will be disposed in approved “Landfills Sites” (LS) through arrangement with local civic bodies;
Non – biodegradable waste like discarded plastic bags, paper and paper products, bottles, packaging material, gunny bags, metal containers, strips and scraps of metal etc. and other such materials will be sold/ given out for recycling or disposed in approved “Landfills Sites” (LS) through arrangement with local civic bodies;
No incineration or burning of wastes should be carried out on “Landfills Sites” (LS);
“Effluent Treatment System” (ETS) like septic tank with “Soak Pits” (SP) provided for toilets should be sited, designed, built and operated in such a way that no health hazard occurs and no pollution to the air, soil properties or characteristics, land area, ground or adjacent watercourses takes place and “Area Method” (AM) of “Land Filing Solid Wastes” (LFSW) along with “Trench Method” (TM) of “Land Filing Solid Wastes” (LFSW) for Small Landfills must be applied for “Waste Management System/ Structure Coordination” (WMS/ SC) at Projected Site {Figures 7 and 8};
Soak pits must be provided to collect waste water from bathrooms and kitchen sideways through “Pit Method” (PM) of “Land Filing Solid Wastes” (LFSW) for Large Landfills at Projected Site {Figure 9};
“Septic tank must be provided for toilets and the sludge should/ must be cleaned by municipal exhausters”.
Figure 7: Proposed/ Recommended/ Optional/ Suggested Area Method of Land Filing Solid Wastes at Projected Site.
Figure 8: Proposed/ Recommended/ Optional/ Suggested Trench Method of Land Filing Solid Wastes at Projected Site.
Figure 9: Pit Method of Land Filing Solid Wastes for Large Landfills at Projected Sites.
For Installing Tanks, Sump:
1. Make a tank stand suitable to the property;
2. Put the tanks on the stand and ensure that they don’t blow away when empty;
3. Connect them up so they can behave as one volume. Recommend putting a valve for each tank mostly for maintenance;
4. Install first flush diverters to keep the most contaminated rainwater out of your rainwater tank;
5. Connect some sort of overflow arrangement. If the tanks are in a sump it would require an overflow arrangement and lots of drainages. When the overflow is undersized, pumps will flood;
6. Make the final connections between the PVC collector pipes and the tanks;
7. Install a tank gauge to regularly monitor your water level and usage.
For Installing Pumps and Managing Standing Water:
1. Use a pump to distribute the water or pump it to an overhead tank or for watering the garden etc.;
2. The pump should be right – sized or it can be marginally oversized;
3. Adequate pressure must be maintained by using pressure couplings;
4. Put some water in the collectors and check the water flows into the tanks and the functioning of the entire system;
5. For standing water, use a wet – dry valve or first flush in – ground diverter to drain your pipes in between rainfall events;
6. Install a solar shield to block sunlight and prevent algae growth.
RAINWATER HARVESTING A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR MUMBAI AND IT’S SUBURBS’ WATER PROBLEMS
Rainwater harvesting proved to be a solution for the water crisis in many parts of India, but the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai is not pushing it in the city. Even after making it mandatory in 2002 and suggesting it in Development Plan for Year up to 2034.
While many Mumbaikars have taken symbolic gestures of saving water – like not using water during the festival of Holi – more concrete steps need to be taken to ensure Mumbai, as a city, is at least partly self – reliant on water.
Mumbai has a population of 18.41 million and it’s growing. With many parts of Maharashtra – Marathwada, Solapur and Ahmednagar, Sangli – suffering from droughts regularly, serious questions need to be raised about water consumption in Mumbai.
According to data released by the “Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation” (BMC), the city’s demand is 4,200 “Million Liters Daily” (MLD) and the BMC which is 3,400 MLD, that is a 20% shortfall of 800 MLD.
Could Rainwater Harvesting Be Implemented By The Authorities?
In 2002, the BMC put in place legislation mandating that all constructions on an area of 1,000 m2 have to set – up a water harvesting plant as a prerequisite for obtaining a completion certificate.
In 2007, the BMC amended it and made it mandatory for plots measuring 300 m2 and above to show a rainwater harvesting plant in its plans. It has also made recycling compulsory for buildings having centralized AC plants.
But despite putting in place such legislation more than a decade ago, the government still doesn’t have concrete data to show the number of buildings that have implemented rainwater harvesting.
Where Is The Water Being Used?
Data shows that on average, a household uses only 20% of its water supply for cooking and drinking;
60% of it is used for flushing, cleaning and bathing. Importantly, a single flush still uses 10 – 12 liters of clean water. This amounts to over 60% of potable water going down the drain.
Does Mumbai have the potential to tap rainwater?
Mumbai city has the potential to harvest 2394.52 MLD (Million Liters per Day) of water, which 950 times as big as an Olympic Swimming Pool during the monsoon period; and
The data further suggests that if one considers 70% of the city to be paved and 50% of it roofed, collecting 70% of the rainwater that falls over it will result in the harvesting of 589.34 MLD of water (almost 15% of Mumbai’s water requirement) which can be reused.
A significant portion of the water shortfall can be made up.
RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM IN MUMBAI AND THE REST OF INDIA
Cities like Delhi and Ahmedabad use recharging techniques, while cities such as Chennai and Bangalore tend to store their roof water in sumps and recharge the soil with surface run – off water.
Mumbai needs a combined method of storage and recharging due to the monsoon pattern the city receives; and
According to a BMC report, Mumbai, which has incessant rainfall followed by dry spells, needs a combined method of recharging aquifers and water storage.
Residents of Chennai, considered a city that has almost successfully implemented rainwater harvesting to tackle its shortfall, have gone a step further and have started potable consumption of harvested rainwater. All three – storied buildings in the city have to mandatorily have a rainwater harvesting system. New water and sewer connections are provided only after the installation of rainwater harvesting systems.
Approximately 30 Indian cities will face ‘Water Risk’ by 2050;
While the implementation of existing laws, especially environment – related, have always been sluggish, initiatives at the individual and community level can pave the way for a self – reliant and sustainable system. Several societies in Mumbai and Thane have taken a pro – active approach and voluntarily implemented RWH system which has helped them to reduce the water problem in their societies and also reduce water bills.
The process of rainwater harvesting is an easy and indigenous process of water conservation and can ensure self – sufficiency at an individual and community level in the long run.
2.5 Heat Island Cooling Strategies:
Many communities are taking action to reduce urban heat islands using five main strategies: 1) Increasing Trees’ Plantation and Vegetative Cover, 2) Installing Green Roofs, 3) Installing Cool — Mainly Reflective — Roofs, 4) Using Cool Pavements (Either Reflective or Permeable), and 5) Utilizing Smart Growth Practices. The links below lead to detailed information on each of these strategies and examples of the activities that governments and communities are implementing in present recent situation and conditions (Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
2.6 Strategies and Technologies:
(1) Trees’ Plantation and Vegetation – Increasing tree and vegetation cover lowers surface and air temperatures by providing shade and cooling through evapotranspiration. Trees and vegetation can also reduce storm water runoff and protect against different kinds of erosions like soil erosion.
(2) Green Roofs – Growing a vegetative layer (plants, shrubs, grasses, and/ or trees) on a rooftop reduces temperatures of the roof surface and the surrounding air and improves storm water management. Also called “Rooftop Gardens” “Eco – Roofs” “Green Roofs” “Roof Top Water Storage Tank” “Install Water Proof Roof Top Swimming Pool like Five Star Hotels” or “Rainy Seasons’ Roof Top Water Storage/ Harvesting Tank Installation as Mandatory Techniques/ Methodologies” may achieve these benefits by providing shade and removing heat from the air through evapotranspiration.
(3) Cool Roofs – Installing a cool roof – one made of materials or waterproofing reflective coatings that significantly reflects sunlight and heat waves… away from a building – reduces roof temperatures, increases the comfort of occupants, and lowers energy demand.
(4) Cool Pavements – Using paving materials on sidewalks, parking lots, and streets that remain cooler than conventional pavements (by reflecting more solar energy and enhancing water evaporation) not only cools the pavement surface and surrounding air, but can also reduce storm water runoff and improve nighttime visibility.
(5) Smart Growth – These practices cover a range of development and conservation strategies and mitigation measures on a large scale that helps to protect the natural environment and @ the same time make our communities more attractive, economically stronger, and more livable as well as viable for “Smart Growth”.

3. NASA
Researchers led by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center were instrumental in bringing the technology of “Geographical Information System” (GIS) remote sensing to bear on this problems of urban heat island assessment and mitigation. A highlight of NASA’s heat island research efforts is Project Atlanta. Project “ATLANTA” {ATlanta Land – use ANalysis: Temperature and Airquality} was initiated with funding from the NASA – EOS “Interdisciplinary Science” (IDS) program in 1996 (see www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/atlanta for details). The goals of this project were to observe, measure, model, and analyze how the rapid growth of the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area since the early 1970’s has impacted the region’s “Climate Change” (CC) and “Air Quality Index” (AQI).
The objectives included:
(1) Modeling the relationship between Atlanta urban growth, land cover change, and the development of the urban heat island phenomenon through time;
(2) Investigating the relationship between urban growth and land cover change on air quality through time; and
(3) Modeling the overall effects of urban development on surface energy budget characteristics across the urban landscape.
By addressing these objectives NASA researchers were able to arrive at an improved understanding of how land cover changes associated with urbanization can affect local and regional climate, surface energy flux, and air quality index etc. characteristics.
In more recent work NASA researchers are partnering with stakeholder focus groups coordinated by Georgia Cool Communities (www.coolcommunities.org) to assess relationship between future growth scenarios for the Atlanta region and the resulting heat island signature. They have defined “Urban Heat Island” (UHI) mitigation scenarios to represent conditions attainable by 2030 given strong support from local governments. The three strategies considered are: (1) use of high albedo roof materials; (2) use of high albedo paving materials; and (3) increasing vegetative cover through tree planting initiatives. All scenarios were developed with detailed consideration of existing surface cover and likely future development patterns. A sample result from this work is illustrated in Figure 10. This figure shows that it may be possible to cool most of metropolitan Atlanta by about 0.5o C (in mid – afternoon during the summer).

4. Mitigation Efforts in US Cities
Examples of mitigation efforts in US cities are widespread. Some of these efforts have been introduced in the preceding sections that focused on large agency initiatives. Few additional examples of mitigation in US cities are presented below. These particular examples illustrate mitigation approaches that are largely driven by local agencies and governments.
5. Mitigation Efforts in Canada
Local governments and organizations in several cities across Canada have initiated research into implementing heat island mitigation strategies. In Toronto, a business coalition known as Green Roofs for Healthy Cities intends to install and monitor green roofs on two city – owned buildings. Their measurements will focus on energy savings and storm water reduction benefits of the green roofs. One of the demonstration sites is located on the 464 m2 roof of the Eastview Community Centre, the other is on a 557 m2 portion of the roof of City Hall.
6. Mitigation Efforts in Japan
Researchers in Japan have played a major role in understanding the urban heat island. Their efforts have included laboratory investigations, observations, and computational modeling. With respect to mitigation efforts much of the work in Japan has focused on numerical simulation. For example, all sought to evaluate how various aspects of the urban environment in Japanese cities impact the urban climate or building energy consumption. In 2000 the city of Tokyo created a building design guidance document that encourages larger new public and private commercial developments to cover @ least 20% of any flat roof area with an eco – roof. While this guidance is not binding it represents a first step toward establishing some mandatory eco – roof requirements for future construction activities in the field.
7. Mitigation Efforts throughout Europe
While heat island mitigation using urban vegetation is an emerging phenomenon in the US, eco – roof technology has been widespread throughout Europe for decades. The various European efforts (only a few of which are summarized here) provide a powerful example of how governments can assist the implementation of mitigation strategies on a very large scale. Germany has been at the forefront of eco – roof implementation and legislation for decades. Many German cities possess by – laws that ensure that industrial buildings incorporate as a green roof system. Stuttgart subsidizes by up to 50% the cost of green roof installation on industrial buildings. The policy requires that green roofs be installed on new or altered low slope roofs. The policy compensates developers and building owners for the additional expense by allowing higher densities and building heights. Throughout Germany, planning policies that require or encourage green roofs have had significant impact. It is estimated that 43% of German cities offer financial incentives for roof greening and that more than 10% of all flat roofs in Germany incorporate some level of eco – roof. This translates into over 55 million square meters of eco – roof implementation (through 1997). Netherlands is another leader in adopting environmental legislation. Eco – roofs can be seen in such prominent locations as the Schipol International Airport and throughout the entire community of Ecolonia. The Ecover manufacturing plant in Belgium has been hailed as “The World’s First Ecological Factory”. It contains more than two acres of roof – top native grasses and wildflowers. The Swiss have taken an aggressive approach to green roof implementation in that they require all new buildings to relocate the green space covered by the building’s footprint at grade to the roof – top, and existing buildings, regardless of age or roof slope, to green 20% of their roof – scape. The city of Linz, Austria has implemented a similar roof greening program that requires developers to compensate for any green space lost in development by covering an equivalent amount of space with greenery.
8. FUTURE PROSPECTS
8.1 Co – Benefits
In many cases the success of heat island mitigation strategies will hinge on the ability to demonstrate co – benefits in areas other than the urban climate. A good example is the eco – roof which has direct effects on the building by providing additional insulation in summer and winter, but also provides habitat, aesthetic beauty, storm water runoff reduction, and air quality and its index benefits. As a general rule it is important to perform relatively comprehensive life – cycle cost – benefit analyses of mitigation strategies to evaluate their true value and results of the region/ state/ place.
8.2 Climate Change
It is possible, and perhaps likely that global climatic variations are amplified in urban settings through various feedback mechanisms. One such positive feedback mechanism is a result of the relationship between air conditioning demand and air temperature. As the air warms demand for air conditioning increases. The waste heat (or anthropogenic heat) from increased air conditioning further raises the ambient air temperature. So, under conditions of regional/ global climatic change the “Urban Heat Island” (UHI) may increase in both magnitude and importance. The added stress of climate change combined with long term changes in various socio – economic factors may also impact the relative benefits of various mitigation strategies. For example, under increased competition for limited water resources albedo – based mitigation strategies may gain some competitive advantage over vegetation – based strategies, although both approaches may still yield net benefits.
8.3 New Technologies
It has long been recognized that albedo and urban vegetation along with more traditional technological advances will be crucial components of addressing the “Urban Heat Island” (UHI) problem. It is likely that the future will hold technological advances that will lessen barriers to implementing UHI mitigation strategies, while simultaneously making them more effective. One example is in the area of high albedo surface coatings. Researchers are already working on new roof and paving systems that have increased overall albedo while being only moderately reflective in the visible spectrum. This engineering of the spectral reflectivity of surface coating systems holds great promise for breaking the implementation barriers in the residential roofing market. Figure 11 is a qualitative representation of two important aspects of spectral reflectivity. The top panel of this figure illustrates how two surfaces may be engineered in such a way that they have similar albedo, but very different reflectivities in the visible spectrum. Specifically, material B would be darker in visible color, yet have similar albedo as A. The lower panel of this figure illustrates how two materials with a similar visible color (same spectral reflectance in the 0.4 µm to 0.7 µm wavelength range) can be engineered such that one (material D in this case) has a much higher albedo. So, if a consumer wants a grey roofing shingle they may one day be able to choose from a traditional shingle with an albedo of less than 0.15 or one with the same gray color, but an engineered albedo in excess of 0.30.

9. CONCLUSIONS
This study has provided a summary of the physical mechanisms responsible for the urban heat island phenomenon. These mechanisms motivate the development of mitigation strategies that incorporate aspects of increasing albedo, increasing vegetative cover, decreasing the areal coverage of impervious surfaces, and decreasing waste heat from anthropogenic activities. The various mitigation strategies that are commonly employed for heat island mitigation have been presented along with a discussion of limitations and barriers to widespread implementation. The conclusion of this aspect of the present summary is that it is important to consider the wide range of costs and benefits of any heat island mitigation strategy. This includes undesirable wintertime penalties as well as unintended co – benefits. Likewise, full life – cycle cost – benefit analyses are important to fully assess the merits of any mitigation strategy. Finally this study also provides a brief assessment of the future of heat island mitigation. It appears from the work done to date that there is significant momentum and potential for ongoing and expanded large – scale mitigation projects in the future. Some of the current barriers to implementing these strategies are being addressed by aggressive research programs and a grass – roots efforts within communities and local governments to establish incentives, standards, and legislation to further promote implementation of “Urban Heat Island” (UHI) mitigation strategies and technologies {Figures 12, 13, 14, 15 (a) and (b)}.

Debug Output Files in AERMOD
When conducting an air dispersion modeling analysis with the AERMOD Modeling System, modelers may encounter situations where they want to validate or verify the model’s calculations. To support this, the model has the ability to generate Debugging Output Files of intermediate calculation results. This is controlled by the Control Pathway using the DEBUGOPT Model Keyword.
As the model’s capabilities have expanded over the years, the U. S. EPA has added new debugging output files to address different features and functions. As of the AERMOD 22112 release, the debug types are listed below:
MODEL: Prints intermediate model result calculations for each source and receptor. Dispersion parameters and plume heights are displayed in this file.
METEOROLOGY: Gridded profiles of meteorological variables for each hour of data are output here.
PRIME: Contains plume rise calculations impacted by building downwash for specific point source and wind direction combinations.
NOX/ NO2: For each NO2 conversion method (ARM2, PVMRM, OLM, GRSM, TTRM), details either the model’s rationing techniques or ozone molar calculations. This option also includes the ability to debug the non – default TTRM2 (added in 22112) which assesses the before and after calculations when comparing PVMRM, OLM, or ARM2 against TTRM.
AREA/ LINE/ OPEN PIT: Calculations related to the area, line, and open pit source types.
RLINE/ RLINEXT: Details characteristics of the integrated points generated along the length of line for each RLINE or RLINEXT Source.
BUOYANT LINE: Prints plume rise heights and distances for all Buoyant Line Sources.
URBAN: New in 22112, this option creates two output files – one for profile meteorology and one for surface meteorology – of the model – generated urban boundary layer.
DEPOSITION: Creates two separate output files – one for gaseous deposition calculations (*.GDP) and one for particle deposition calculations (*.PDP). Includes parameters such as depositional velocity. When used independently of the MODEL debug option, a separate file (DEPOS.DBG) will also be generated detailing wet deposition information.
AWMA DOWNWASH: Creates a file containing detailed information about the Air & Waste Management Association’s non – default downwash options.
PLATFORM: New in 22112, this file contains details about downwash of point source emissions that occur in offshore platforms.
In AERMOD View, Debugging Output Files are primarily controlled by the Debug Files option of the Control Pathway window. Place a checkmark in the box of the file type you want to enable. The Save icon can be used to assign a different name to the file, and the Preview icon can be used after a successful model run to open the selected file in the text editor chosen in the Preferences menu.
Debugging output files for two non – default options – AWMA Downwash and Platform Downwash – can be found in the dialogs for those specific operations.

What is your motivation to attend the training programme? *
I commit to motivation as well as innovation in terms of Inclusive Excellence about performance and everything as I do in TEAMWORK. Moreover, its success to date is largely due to its philosophy of delivering “Innovation/ Motivation Based on the Need for Change”…!!!
At least, it’s a process that I can go through with our people for Motivation as well as Innovation is not just about technology – that’s just the enabler.
It’s about re – engineering processes and leveraging strategic partnerships. It’s about approaching and solving clients’ problems in new ways and traditions. Over the years, I have established myself as an ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERT/ SPECIALIST/ ENGINEER partner for affecting technological and business process transformation for our clients, and in several cases, entire industry applicability. Not every company can say it changed an industry, but I can execute with specific goals and approaches. But I can visualize “Climate OR Weather” is changing day by day rapidly and people are not seriously supposed to contribute to the concerned subject matter.
The exploration of cutting – edge technologies and methodologies, coupled with a deep passion to drive more… diversified and modified business transformation and an entrepreneurial spirit, most probably defines about me. I always used to carry out this philosophy @ already engaged research and development centers for “Economics of Climate Change Adaptation” (ECCA), which comes under the process of “Climate Change Initiatives” (CCI).
How do you expect to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the training as well as in the research development programme?

Approximately 18 years back…!!! when I had participated and worked for 12 days program on dated 4th to 16th October, 2004, Hanimaadhoo, Republic of Maldives, Observatory for training on “Atmospheric Brown Cloud (ABC) Training School Program,” announced and sponsored by (http://www-ramanathan.ucsd.edu/) UCSD ABC/ UNEP – RRCAP, USA California and Thailand.
Indeed Excellent and Marvelous Scene as 100% Clear Visibility, Sky and Sea Coastal Area along Beach Side Near NASA Observatory Setup @ Maldives – 1.
Hanimaadhoo (Dhivehi: ހަނިމާދޫ) is one of the inhabited islands of Haa Dhaalu Atoll administrative division and geographically part of Thiladhummathi Atoll in the North of the Maldives. Located in the South Thiladumathee (Haa Dhaalu) Atoll, Hanimaadhoo with 3.11 Km of land area is one of the biggest natural islands in the Maldives. Hanimaadhoo island is one the biggest islands in the Maldives. Its length is approximately 7.0 Km…!!! And it is “Just” 750 m Wide. The island is 288.84 Km (179 mi; 156 nmi) North of the country’s capital, Malé. The Hanimaadhoo Meteorological Observatory is located on this island Hanimaadhoo (ހަނިމާދޫ). The island is planned to be one of the developmental centres of the newly planned Mathi – Uthuru Province. The island is the site of Hanimaadhoo Airport, one of the few domestic airports of the Maldives.
Climate
The Hanimaadhoo Meteorological Observatory is located on this island. Many flight scientific research such as those investigating aerosol concentrations in the atmosphere and the Brown Cloud phenomenon have been initiated from Hanimaadhoo. On 16th April 2016, Hanimaadhoo recorded a temperature of 34.9°C (94.8°F), which is the highest temperature to have ever been recorded in the Maldives.
