Abstract:

An analysis of the climatic behavior of different parameters related to air quality in Buenos Aires city is presented. The principal statistical characteristics of hourly daytime mixing height distributions are studied. The cumulative frequencies of hourly daytime mixing height ranges are calculated. The frequencies of occurrence of daytime atmospheric stability conditions are obtained. An analysis of mixing heights and related atmospheric stability conditions is presented. The obtained mean mixing heights and standard deviations are smaller in winter and higher in summer. The lowest mixing heights occur in the morning with an increasing trend until the maximum at 14-15 LT and a slower decreasing rate toward sunset. The highest hourly daytime mean values derived for summer and winter, respectively, are 1170 and 592 m. The lowest are 547 and 261 m. The obtained standard deviations range from 289 to 638 m in summer and from 144 to 382 m in winter. The most commonly occurring mixing heights for a given time of the day are lower than the corresponding mean mixing heights and occur in the range 333-833 m in summer and 205-349 m in winter. There is an elevated frequency of occurrence of daytime mixing heights below 1500 m (99% in winter and 85% in summer). The more frequent daytime stability conditions are the near neutral, slightly unstable and unstable (96% in winter and 94% in summer). These stability conditions are associated with mixing heights below 1500 m. The smallest mean daytime mixing heights by stability category occur during winter, while the largest are obtained in summer, ranging, respectively, between 330 and 486 m and 716 and 1037 m.
