Relationship between incremental NOx concentrations in road side air and incremental NO2 concentration
Recommendations on deriving meteorological parameters for application to urban air pollution estimates • Mixing height for urban background concentrations, atmospheric stability for dispersion • Street and urban background wind, for dispersion within above streets • Urban episodes, availability of tools, potential developments, uncertainty • Inventory of urban meteorological sites, use of data, recommendations for siting, local meteorological data and corrections, choice site location.
