NECESSITY OF COMPLEMENTARY VERTICALLY-RESOLVED LIDAR OBSERVATION FOR GROUND AIR POLLUTION ANALYSIS IN WESTERN ROMANIA

摘要

Abstract. The western part of Romania, i.e. Banat, is one of the most developed industrial areas of Romania, with many urban agglomerations (Timisoara, Arad, Lugoj, Jimbolia). Thus, the regional air pollution monitoring and assessment are of paramount importance for the sustainable development of the society in the region. This work is focused on the identification of the air pollution regimes and specificity, as well as on the main driven factors. Representative ground measurements data sets of O_3, NC_x, SO_2 and PM10, will be analysed and presented in the context of regional photochemistry potential. The effect of the traffic through an urban region will be also analysed. Finally, the complementarity necessity of the LIDAR-based observations for the evaluation of the vertical mixing structures, planetary boundary layer dynamics, and generated specific regional effects in the region will be demonstrated.
