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. These data were analysed in conjunction with NH3 measurements within and surrounding Ballynahone Bog SAC. This report is part of a series that started to analyse data from month-year, with the period investigated in the current report being 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2022. This report aims to assess local wind patterns for the period October 2021 to March 2022 and establish how local wind patterns influence NH3 concentrations.
