Spectral characteristics of wind and air pollution data in an industrial area

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

A comparison is made between the spectral features of sulfur dioxide concentration and zonal and meridional components of wind speed over a highly industrialized area situated on the coast. The paper focuses on the characteristic times of the meso-synoptic scale. Diurnal and longer period oscillations were identified. Variations of ground-level SO2 concentrations are attributed to local sea-breeze circulation and to the synoptic weather period of wind speed.
