Erosion of limestone building surfaces caused by wind-driven rain: 1. Field measurements. Tang, W., Davidson, C., I., Finger, S., & Vance, K. Atmos. Environ., 38:5589-5599, 2004. abstract bibtex Complex patterns of discoloration are often seen on
the surfaces of stone buildings in urban areas. These patterns
reflect interactions between atmospheric pollutants, the surface
layers of stone, and wind-driven rain that can erode the surface.
This first paper in a two-paper series presents field measurements
of wind-driven rain on a tall limestone building. The volume of
driving rain on the building wall was measured at 16 locations over
a 21-month period, and meteorological data were recorded for the
same period. Analysis of data from 94 rain events suggests that
wind-driven rain is strongly affected by rainfall intensity, wind
speed, wind direction and measurement location. The five locations
with driving rain volumes <41 over this period are characterized by
heavily soiled walls, while the two locations with driving rain
volumes >81 are characterized by white, eroded walls. The remaining
nine locations have driving rain volumes in the range 4-81 and
varying amounts of soiling, with no clear relationship between
these two variables. It is hypothesized that variation in raindrop
momentum, which was not measured, is partially responsible for
surface erosion and thus removal of soiling in this last category.
