Abstract

Local prevailing wind patterns play a key role in atmospheric nitrogen (N) input to designated sites, in terms of local ammonia (NH3) concentrations and N deposition originating from local, regional and transboundary sources. The aim of this study is to investigate local wind patterns and their temporal variability using locally measured weather data for the period October 2020 to September 2021 on Ballynahone Bog. These data were analysed in conjunction with NH3 measurements within and surrounding Ballynahone Bog SAC (Thomas et al. 2020; Williams et al. 2021). This report aims to assess local wind patterns for the period October 2020 to September 2021 and establish how local wind patterns influence NH3 concentrations on Ballynahone Bog.
