Analysis of temperature inversions during periods of adverse weather conditions in Krasnoyarsk in the winter period of 2019-2020

Abstract

The work is devoted to the search for relationships between the pollution of the atmosphere of Krasnoyarsk by particulate matter and temperature inversion – an increase in temperature with height in the surface layer of the atmosphere. The research is based on reanalysis data of the NASA GFS meteorological model for air temperature at different altitudes of the atmosphere and the results of measurements of concentrations of particulate matter in the air monitoring system of the FRC KSC SB RAS, as well as information about officially declared periods of adverse weather conditions. The results obtained allow us to conclude that there is a high degree of correlation between these values, and that it is possible to use the GFS model data to predict the environmental situation.
