Air pollution: Contaminants present in the atmosphere such as dust, gases or smoke.
Albedo: The percentage of light reflected by an object when it is illuminated.
Air Pollution - airborne gaseous, chemical, or organic matter which pollutes the atmosphere
Air Pressure - the pressure exerted by the air
Albedo - the fraction of radiation which reflects off a body ...
AIR POLLUTION
The soiling of the atmosphere by contaminants to the point that may cause injury to health, property, plant, or animal life, or prevent the use and enjoyment of the outdoors.
AIR QUALITY STANDARDS ...
Air Pollution- The existence in the air of substances in concentrations that are determined unacceptable. Contaminants in the air we breathe come mainly from manufacturing industries, electric power plants, automobiles, buses, and trucks.
Air Pollution Toxification of the atmosphere through the addition of one or more harmful substances in the air. Substance must be in concentrations high enough to be hazardous to humans, other animals, vegetation, or materials.
Air Pollution Potential
The meteorological potential for air pollution problems, considered without regard to the presence or absence of actual pollution sources.
Air Quality Model ...
Air Pollution - Chemicals or substances in the atmosphere that are directly or indirectly harmful to living things.
Air pollution containing ozone and other reactive chemical compounds formed by the reaction of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight.
Photosphere ...
Air pollution caused by a mixture of smoke and fog.
Snow
Precipitation consisting of clumps of ice crystals.
An air pollution transport and diffusion model developed to determine pesticide drift from aerial spraying operations in valleys.

There are many different kinds of gates used on a damGaussThe unit of magnetic induction in the cgs (centimeter-gram- second) systemGaussian Plume ModelA computer model used to calculate air pollution concentrations.
CHCChanceChemistry ModelA computer model used in air pollution investigations that simulates chemical and photochemical reactions of the pollutants during their transport and diffusion.
Perturbation ModelA computer model used to calculate air pollution concentrations. A perturbation model produces a wind field from solutions to a simplified set of equations that describe atmospheric motions.
smog Air pollution associated with oxidants. smoke Particles suspended in air after incomplete combustion of materials. soil carbon A major component of the terrestrial biosphere pool in the carbon cycle.
atmospheric pollution"Same as air pollution.
atmospheric pressure"(Also called barometric pressure.) The pressure exerted by the atmosphere as a consequence of gravitational attraction exerted upon the "column" of air lying directly above the ...

Air Stagnation A meteorological situation in which there is a major buildup of air pollution in the atmosphere. This usually occurs when the same air mass is parked over the same area for several days.
Stagnation area In air pollution meteorology this refers to a region of the lower atmosphere (planetary boundary layer) near the surface where the following conditions persist for at least 4 days: wind speeds less than 17 mph (poor ventilation), ...
episode - In the context of air pollution, a time period during which pollution standards are exceeded or, more loosely, during which pollutant levels are significantly greater than normal or background levels.
Mixing depth - the maximum height air pollution normally reaches. This varies with geography, season and time of day.
Monsoon - A wind caused by differences in surface temperatures. Some produce heavy rains.

Smog A word currently used as a synonym for general air pollution. It was originally created by combining the words "smoke" and "fog." ...
The World Bank calculates that between two and five percent of all urban deaths in the developing world are due to air pollution. Industrial, domestic, and natural pollutants contribute to poor air quality. Cars are the major cause in Australia.
acid rain: rain having a pH lower than 5.6 (the pH of natural rainwater), usually caused by sulfuric acid and/or nitric acid from air pollution.
I later studied at Columbia Pacific University and the University of Guelph focusing on agricultural and air pollution meteorology, eventually writing my doctoral thesis on the climatology of photochemical smog in southwestern Ontario.
