Abstract
Main results are presented from a mesoscale tracer experiment that was carried out over a land-water-land area (the Øresund region). In the experiment a tracer was released from a meteorological mast on the coast of Skane in southern Sweden. After having travelled about 21 km over the Øresund water surface, the plume encountered the coast of Denmark. Tracer samples were taken at two crosswind series, one along the Danish coast and one about 3.5 km inland. During the experiment the atmosphere in the lowest hundred meters was neutral or weakly stable stratified.
