Abstract | The installation of RASS (radio acoustic sounding system) at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology enables continuous, unmanned, and robust monitoring of the lower boundary up to 1 kilometre. Inversion and stable conditions on 18 December 1995 and 3 January 1996, respectively adversely affected the territory's air quality as noted by the Hong Kong Government's Environmental Protection Department's Air Pollution Index (API). Radiosonde and RASS measurements for these cases are studied in this paper to illustrate limitations of existing system and to propose a supplemental detection and monitoring method. |
