Abstract

The paper deals with meteorological measurements as a part of measuring programs for air pollutants. The importance of atmospheric conditions for the assessment of an air pollution situation is demonstrated by their influence on the various compartments of an air pollution system, comprising all stages from emission to effects. The main purpose of this review is a discussion of how to get representative data in various scales of time and space. A concluding survey contains various recommendations concerning the design of measuring programs.
