Sources of carbonaceous aerosol in the Amazon basin
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP), Vol. 11. N° 3. Gilardoni S.; Vignati E.; Marmer E.; et al. - Copernicus GmbH, 2011The quantification of sources of carbonaceous aerosol is important to understand their atmospheric concentrations and regulating processes and to study possible effects on climate and air quality, in addition to develop mitigation strategies.
In the framework of the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate Interactions (EUCAARI) fine (Dp
Extraordinary Meeting of the Project Team of the 8th WMO Intercomparison of High Quality Radiosonde Systems (Reduced Meeting) : final report
The extraordinary meeting of the project team of the 8 th WMO Intercomparison of High Quality Radiosonde Systems was organized to agree among the project team members on the data evaluation procedures, and on the presentation of the results in the final report prior to its distribution to the intercomparison participants and to the member of the International Organising Committee for Upper-Air Instrument Intercomparisons for comments/review. The meeting agreed on the evaluation procedures, content, outline and layout of the Draft Final Report and on the responsibilities of individuals in final ...

Synoptic Typing and Its Application for Evaluating Climatic Impact on Air Quality in Urumqi
Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, Volume 3 Number 6. Wang Li-Li; Wang Yue-Si; Li Yuan-Yuan - Science Press, 2010An automated procedure employing principal-component analysis and a two-stage cluster analysis was developed to classify the synoptic meteorological conditions prevailing over Urumqi, one of the most heavily polluted cities in the world. Six clusters representing different circulation patterns and air-mass characteristics were classified using surface- and upper-meteorological variables during the heating period from 2001 to 2008, and the relationships between synoptic clusters and air quality were evaluated. The heaviest air-pollution episodes occurred when Urumqi was in either an extremely c ...
Weather and Health
This course will help meteorologists and others broaden their understanding of the impacts of weather and climate on public health, including the impacts of heat waves and cold temperatures, winter storms and thunderstorms, flooding, drought, poor air quality, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfire, UV radiation, and others. This course is directed to broadcast meteorologists, in particular, who play a critical role in the community by helping the public to protect against weather-related health threats and by promoting good health. The course also describes the public health communication system, pr ...
GOES-R: Benefits of Next-Generation Environmental Monitoring
This module is an introduction to NOAA's next generation Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) series, focusing on the value and anticipated benefits derived from an enhanced suite of instruments for improved monitoring of meteorological, environmental, climate, and space weather phenomena and related hazards. An extensive set of visualizations highlight GOES-R and its advanced observing capabilities for providing support in thirteen key environmental application areas including air quality and visibility, climate, cloud icing, fires, hurricanes, land cover, lightning, l ...
PWS, 16. Supplement to Guidelines on Biometeorology and Air Quality Forecasts
This document has been produced as a supplement to “Guidelines on Biometeorology and Air Quality Forecasts” WMO/TD No. 1184. It addresses the specific aspects of human biometeorology related to human disease, which was not included in that publication. It should be consulted in conjunction with WMO/TD No. 1184. The guidelines are intended to provide useful advice to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) on methods of incorporating air quality forecasts and biometeorological information into the suite of products and services offered to the public. The Public We ...
PWS, 10. Guidelines on biometeorology and air quality forecasts
These guidelines are intended to provide useful advice to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMSs) on methods of incorporating air quality forecasts and biometeorological information into the suite of products and services offered to the public.The guidelines were developed by the Public Weather Services (PWS) Expert Team on Product Development and Service Assessment at the request of the Commission on Basic Systems (CBS). It is acknowledged that several NMSs already provide this type of information and some others are on the verge of developing an air quality programme. Howeve ...
GAW Report, 155. 1st International Expert Meeting on Sources and Measurements of Natural Radionuclides Applied to Climate and Air Quality Studies
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) - WMO, 2004 (WMO/TD-No. 1201)
Applications of meteorology to atmospheric pollution problems
A summary of the main activities in air pollution meteorology followed by a chapter on air quality management, which describes, inter alia, the concept of background air pollution and a system for evaluation of air pollution processes on various space scales. The Note then reviews the meteorological information, network and data-processing requirements for the operational evaluation of air pollution, and the characteristics and use of models.
