Details
This project explored how certain local weather patterns - thermal flows such as sea breezes, warm city air, or cold air flowing downhill - can affect how air pollution is transported by the wind from industrial and waste sites.
The project used real-world examples, data analysis, and computer modelling to explore how often these weather patterns occur, how much they impact air quality, how they might change in the future.
