Pollutant levels may be reduced when emissions can be controlled. However, the impact of meteorological variables on the concentrations measured may be noticeable, and these variables cannot be controlled. This book is devoted to the influence of meteorological processes on the pollutant concentrations recorded in the low atmosphere. Measurements, cycles, statistical procedures, as well as specific variables such as the synoptic pattern, temperature inversion, or the calculation of back-trajectories, are considered in the studies included in this book to highlight the relationship between air pollution and meteorological variables. In addition, the state of the art of this subject following meteorological scales, from micro to macro-scale, is presented. Consequently, this book focuses on applied science and seeks to further current knowledge of what contribution meteorological processes make to the concentrations measured in order to achieve greater control over air pollution.Research & information: generalbicsscair pollutionsynoptic situation patternmeteorological variablesthreshold valuesair quality forecastmodellingpollution episodesnational holidayCOVID-19particulate matternatural ventilationindoor air qualityregional variationnitrogen dioxidein situ urban concentrationsmeteorological measurementsNO2 variationpartial correlationgross alpha activitynorthern Iberian Peninsularadonairflow patternssurface windsatmospheric boundary layerweather typesGaussian plume modellow-level jetrecirculationmicroscalemacroscalemesoscalesource apportionmentcluster analysishealth risksresidential wood burningsustainable urban developmenturban hazetemperature inversionObukhov lengthHYSPLITbiomass burningcold surge, emissionBaPHPLCcarcinogenicdiagnostic ratioResearch & information: generalPérez Isidro Aedt1291792García M.
