Analysis the Synoptic- Thermodynamic Conditions of Isfahan Air Pollution (Case Study: Dec, 3- 5 2012)

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

Metropolises always encounter to air pollution matter. The seasonal variations of pressure and temperature in some polluted cities can result in disaster in vertical structure of atmosphere by producing the Inversion. In this research, we used the air quality index (AQI) data in 5 stations of Isfahan (Azadi Sq, Ahmadabad Sq, Chaharbagh Khajoo, Keshavarz Blvd, Kharazi Highway). We used the upper atmosphere data of NCEP/NCAR database for studying the synoptic condition in Dec. 3- 5 2012, 13-15th, 1391 and used the Skew-T graph for vertical air structure. The results indicated that the pollution amount was more than permissible level in studied days and the pollution peak in Dec. 5, in school and university off, registered to 247 in Ahmadabad Sq. The air stability condition, forming the high pressure system on the earth surface and the air descending caused to creating a temperature inversion layer near to earth surface, and this prevent from shift and displace of air that cause to the maximum pollution in Isfahan.
