Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban activity impacts not only human life but also the city atmosphere. Urban emissions may have a direct influence on the inhabitants’ lives, or they may be transported to rural areas where secondary pollutants, which can return to the city by recirculation processes, may be formed. In addition, atmosphere dynamics determine that urban pollution may be transferred to isolated sites, or, alternatively, air transport of dangerous pollutants could impact a noticeable population since its activity is mainly linked to cities. Moreover, large cities influence local atmospheric processes and determine urban meteorological islands where the features of the atmospheric boundary layer contrast with those of their rural surroundings. This Special Issue covers all the processes involving the urban atmosphere and their possible impact on population. Additionally, changes in cities are accompanied by changes in their atmospheric environment. Consequently, this Special Issue is conceived as a meeting point for researchers interested in these subjects, and results of their research can help city managers improve urban development.
