Abstract

This study aims to investigate the the day by day relationship between mesoscale circulation and air quality over the Metropolitan Athens for a period of thirteen years spatially and seasonally. Eleven distinct mesoscale patterns are remarkable based in a formulated methodology based on surface and upper air wind measurements. The air quality conditions were attributed into seven distinct classes for five main pollutants namely, Og, NO2, SO], CO and Black
