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 between January 2019 and June 2020. These data were analysed in conjunction with NH3 measurements within and surrounding Ballynahone Bog SAC. This report aims to assess the availability of wind data from met stations surrounding Ballynahone Bog, assess local wind patterns recorded on the bog and establish how local wind patterns influence NH3 concentrations.
