Introduction to Meteorology for Air Quality – 10, 11, 17, 18 November, 2021 – Online
An understanding of meteorology is essential for air quality practitioners. This course will outline key meteorological concepts and apply them to air quality applications. You will use information from this course to inform decisions for siting air quality monitoring stations, choosing representative data for air quality modelling, preparation of model input files and undertaking meteorological modelling. As an air quality expert, you need to know the impact of terrain, inversions, boundary layer height, proximity to water etc. on the dispersion, dilution and transport of pollutants. This course covers these topics and more in four 2-hour webinars in November 2021.
Standard registration available to 3 November 2021.
bushfires is the prolonged effect they have had on air quality. Many of our CASANZ members – who are experts in the field – have published scientific papers, have given interviews, and have publicly commented on the effects of the bushfires on air quality and health. Some of their findings and comments are summarised in this article.
