| Abstract: | Observations of mean daily concentrations of smoke and of sulphur dioxide, obtained from several National Survey sites in the Manchester area, have been correlated with meteorological data and with certain other variables. Two periods have been examined, one from May 1975 to March 1977, the other from October 1978 to April 1979; the second, shorter period was more closely analysed. The model adopted for analysis differed from the power-law form selected by most previous investigators; it appears physically more satisfactory and in practice gave better correlation with sulphur dioxide observations. For the long period, the relatively crude analysis explained about two-thirds of the variance: for the shorter period, using more detailed meteorological data, the proportion explained ranged from 72 to 93 %. |
