Cover Story: Urban air pollution continues to represent a primary concern for human health. For spatially dense air pollution monitoring, networks of low-cost stations can be deployed, supplementing the sparsely distributed regulatory networks. The determination of appropriate installation locations for these stations is an important consideration. In this study, a site suitability map was generated for deploying a network of low-cost multi-sensor traffic-oriented stations across a city. A site suitability analysis was developed based on the traffic-related emissions (PM2.5, NOx) and street canyon effects. Air quality hotspot areas were identified for capturing the local spatial variability of the air pollutants within the city. View this paper

The freezing level in the free troposphere often intercepts the terrain of the world’s major mountain ranges, creating a rain–snow limit. In this work, we use the free tropospheric height of the 0 °C isotherm (H0) as a proxy of both l...
