Abstract

A study of atmospheric pollution potentials based on morning mixing heights, afternoon mixing heights, horizontal wind speeds, is made for all the radiosonde stations over India. An index called “Ventilation factor”; is evolved for different India stations for all seasons, to discuss the air pollution potentialities. The above parameters are examined in the light of future possible industrialization and urbanization. A modified method has been evolved to compute morning mixing heights particularly applicable to India stations after examining critically Holzworth's method.
