Diurnal mountain wind systems are local thermally driven wind systems that form over
mountainous terrain and are produced by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal …

Air pollution episodes in urban coastal areas follow certain pre-determined patterns, being
associated with certain local meteorological conditions and emission of primary pollutants …

In this study an attempt is made to investigate the prevailing meteorological conditions
during days with high concentrations of PM10 (particles with diameter< 10 μm), collected in …

The results of a 16 year long sampling program in a heavily industrialized area of NW
Greece are presented and analyzed. Fourlignite power stations are operated in this area …

The background PM 10 concentration in the Western Macedonia region, a complex terrain
area with combined urban and industrial emission sources is investigated in this study. PM …

Periods of abnormally high concentrations of atmospheric pollutants, defined as air pollution
episodes, can cause adverse health effects. Southern European countries experience high …

Lignite mining operations and lignite-fired power stations result in major particulate pollution
(fly ash and fugitive dust) problems in the areas surrounding these activities. The problem is …

The variety of physicogeographic characteristics, the complex topography and channeling of
the synoptic/regional flow are among the main reasons for the formulation of local flow …

In this paper, the characteristic properties of inversions formed inside the lower boundary
layer over Athens, Greece, were studied using 35-year radiosonde measurements of …

In this study, the photochemical smog formation over a heavily industrialized area with
complex terrain was investigated. A mesoscale prognostic meteorological and air pollution …
