Influence of synoptic situations on ambient air pollution in Liberec (northern Bohemia, Czech Republic)
2015
Abstract
The study presents the influence of synoptic situations on the concentration of ambient air pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM10, CO, O3) in the largest city of northern Bohemia - Liberec. This paper identifies five synoptic situations which can significantly increase concentration of air pollutants.
Moreover, five synoptic situations in which the pollutant concentrations are significantly lower than the long-term average are also described. This study contributes to prediction of air pollution in a big city based on the prediction of the synoptic situation, and thus to protection of human health.
