Air pollution monitor

2016 HYSPLIT map

The only public air pollution monitor in the county is located in Newport State Park.[3] Most air pollution reaching the station comes from outside the county. This map shows how air travels to the monitoring station. Because the station is near the shore, only the red lines (which show the lower air currents) meaningfully depict the path of ozone to the monitor. As shown on the map, these lower air currents carry polluted air from major urban areas. Farther inland, however, the air from higher up mixes more, so all color lines are significant when tracing the path of air pollution further inland, and these higher air currents (shown in green and blue) blow in from cleaner, mostly rural areas.[4]

gollark: I don't think that a child is meaningfully, by any definition which is actually sane or relevant, part of a parent's body, or composed of them, and I don't see why "so both genetic contributors get to decide whether the mother keeps it around" follows.
gollark: If they agree to it, sure.
gollark: It seems like you're (implicitly?) doing that weird motte-and-bailey thing where you go "by some strained technical definition, you are part of your parent's body" and then go "since you're now obviously part of their body, they get authority over you".
gollark: You're arguing a different thing to "it's literally them", then.
