POLLUTION AND THERMAL REGIME OF THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE: FEEDBACKS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER
Abstract
In this paper som periods of air pollution, observed in China during the recent years are analyzed. Iti showed that high concentration of particulate matter (PM) minimizes the boundary layer height and leadsto increasing pollutant concentrations. Critical number for concentration is 200 gm– 3 – after it feedback between boundary layer height and concentrations became stronger.
