| Zusammenfassung |
| The Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) is among the
largest lignite based power plants in South East Asia. The four elevated
stacks from this power plant emanate a substantial amount of sulphur dioxide
into a tropical boundary layer. Sulphur dioxide being a soluble pollutant
gas is absorbed by falling raindrops. This is a first study that quantifies
the scavenging action of the North Eastern monsoonal rains from a lignite
based power plant. We find that although the North Eastern monsoonal rains
have a preponderance of very large droplets, the contribution of the small
droplets cannot be neglected. We expect that the estimated scavenging
coefficients can be used by large eddy and climate models. |
