Atmospheric Pollution in Mexico City: Temporal Scaling and Interaction with Rainfall (Invited)
Abstract
Turbulent diffusion in the atmosphere and scavenging by raindrops make pollutants a prime candidate for scaling behavior. Temporal scale invariance as a result of the interplay of the typically different behavior of the two types of tracers is studied herein by comparing daily records of atmospheric precipitation and pollutant concentration in Mexico City.
