Meteorological conditions including humidity, wind velocity, wind direction, the amount of sunlight, temperature and even soil moisture all impact the travel, mixing and chemical reactions of emissions that form pollutants. Consideration must also be given to the conditions at various heights because the meteorology at ground level is very different from the meteorology at different altitudes. Because meteorological conditions change frequently throughout the day, complex modeling must be done to keep track of the changing conditions and their impact on the temporal and spatial location of pollutants.
