Atmospheric Pollution

They can trap pollutants near the surface, leading to improved air quality and increased visibility

They can reduce the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere, leading to poor air quality and reduced visibility

They can trap pollutants near the surface, leading to poor air quality and reduced visibility

They can increase the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere, leading to improved air quality and increased visibility

Measuring leaf chlorophyll content only after the thermal inversion has occurred.

Documenting tree height increase throughout the year regardless of air quality changes.

Recording ambient noise levels near the trees as an indirect measure of stress during inversions.

A control group of trees in similar conditions without exposure to a thermal inversion.

The warm air creates a thermal blanket that has no impact on air pollution

The warm air creates a thermal blanket that traps air pollution

The warm air creates a thermal blanket that disperses air pollution

The warm air creates a thermal blanket that neutralizes air pollution

Tropical rainforests with dense vegetation that filters out airborne contaminants

Coastal regions where sea breezes disperse pollutants away from population centers

Flat open plains where wind patterns tend not to restrict vertical air movement

Valleys surrounded by mountains that trap polluted air masses close to the ground level

They may cause blue or green smog, ozone warnings, or acid precipitation

They may cause brown or grey smog, ozone warnings, or acid precipitation

They may cause red or yellow smog, ozone warnings, or acid precipitation

They may cause black or white smog, ozone warnings, or acid precipitation

Trapped pollutants increase the concentration of smog.

Accelerated dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere.

Enhanced rainfall that washes out airborne contaminants.

Decrease in ground-level ozone due to cooler temperatures.

Low-pressure systems bringing heavy precipitation and strong winds.

Tropical cyclones that mix various layers of the atmosphere intensively.

High-pressure systems that lead to clear skies and calm weather.

Strong jet stream activity causing variable temperatures at different altitudes.
