Influence of synoptic conditions on air pollution in Moscow

This work is devoted to studying of synoptic conditions and their influence on surface concentrations of different air pollutants in big city (Moscow). The synoptic analysis of one full month (March of 2002) was made in two aspects: synoptic situation and a type of air mass. The average diurnal courses of both minor air gases (O3 , NO, NO2 , CO, SO2 ) and submicron aerosol particles under different synoptic situations (types of baric field) and different air mass types are discussed.
