摘要：

In a study of Denver air pollution, regional climatological factors are related primarily to diurnal and seasonal characteristics of air quality. Meteorological factors are assessed mainly for interpreting deviations from the mean, or the frequency of pollution episodes or clean air days. Local topography also influences some of the factors affecting Denver air quality. Emphasis is given to the importance of mixing depth, ventilation, and in particular to the stability above the well-mixed (adiabatic) layer. Emission characteristics and variations in the distribution of pollutants are discussed briefly. Approximately ten years of surface and radiosonde data obtained from Stapleton Airport in Denver are used for a climatological base. Special soundings taken by radiosondes released at noon form the nucleus of the meteorological data base. © 1979.
