Ozone concentration in ground-level air layer in north-western Poland – The role of meteorological elements
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2009, Vol 41, Issue 1
Abstract
The research aimed at recognising time structure and variability of tropospheric ozone as a function of daytime and nocturnal meteorological conditions, particularly in the spring season (March–May), as well as finding a weather cluster at which the highest O3 concentration occurs. Ozone concentrations recorded every hour during the two years and data on five other meteorological elements: total solar radiation, air temperature, relative air humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction and speed provided the input data for the analysis. The data were collected at Widuchowa weather station, north-western Poland, near the Polish-German border. The highest ozone concentration was observed at daytime day, under conditions of eastern wind, low relative air humidity (about 35%), high values of total solar radiation (about 209 W•m–2), air temperature (17.0°C), atmospheric pressure (1016 hPa) and high wind speed (2.7 m•s–1). It is concluded that the magnitude of tropospheric ozone concentration recorded at Widuchowa is influenced by gaseous pollutants originating not only from the territory of Poland but also from Germany.
