This book examines air pollution of a big city using multi-year
and multi-season data from ground-based air monitoring stations
and satellite sounding data, which provides more clear and
detailed information on the main sources of air pollution, the
long-term trend of pollution, the influence of meteorological
parameters on pollution levels, and trajectories of polluted air
masses. For example, the book shows that particulate matter from
local sources is transported from deserts to create air quality
challenges. It also analyzes the effects of desert and
semi-desert landscapes on high concentrations of pollutants.
