TLDR
In this paper, the meteorological conditions affecting dispersion of pollutants emitted from tall stacks in the coastal plain of Israel were analyzed according to a synoptic approach and the main elements influencing dispersion were then analyzed: the wind and temperature profiles and estimations of the plume rise and its partial penetration into the stable layer aloft.About:

Mineralogical and chemical characterization of suspended atmospheric particles over the east Mediterranean based on synoptic-scale circulation patterns
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed suspended dust samples collected in Israel during three synoptic systems associated with desert dust storms: Red Sea trough, Sharav cyclone and cold depression, and during deep and shallow modes of Persian Gulf trough.

Relationship between synoptic‐scale atmospheric circulation and ozone concentrations over Israel
Uri Dayan,Uri Dayan,Ilan Levy +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the temporal behavior of ozone mixing ratios during the high-ozone days was analyzed and it was shown that the peak values are more frequent during the transitional (spring and autumn) seasons than during the summer season.

The influence of meteorological conditions and atmospheric circulation types on PM10 and visibility in Tel Aviv
Uri Dayan,Ilan Levy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the dependence of particulate matter of less than 10 μm in diameter (PM10) mass concentrations and visibility in Tel Aviv, Israel, on seasonal meteorological conditions, synoptic weather patterns, and airmass history.

Plume Rise Predictions
TL;DR: For most conditions χmax is approximately proportional to he−2, as has been recognized at least since 1936 (Bosanquet and Pearson), making allowance for the gradual decrease in the ratio of vertical to lateral diffusion at increasing heights.

Mixing Depths, Wind Speeds and Air Pollution Potential for Selected Locations in the United States
TL;DR: In this article, daily estimates of mixing depths and average wind speeds through the mixing layers were calculated and summarized for seven locations in several climatic regions of the contiguous United States, and the frequency of occurrence of various combinations of mixing depth and wind speed classes were used in an urban diffusion model to calculate theoretical values of relative pollutant concentration for four major cities.

A Synoptic Climatological Approach For Geographical Analysis: Assessment of Sulfur Dioxide Concentrations
TL;DR: In this article, an objective methodology was proposed to characterize air masses at a given locale and to show that a holistic synoptic approach may provide better results than traditional statistical approaches in evaluating the impact of climate on sulfur dioxide concentrations.

The Spatial and Temporal Behavior of the Mixed Layer in Israel
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study to determine the spatial and temporal behavior of the coastal and inland mixed layer in Israel was undertaken, and over 300 upper air measurements (minisonde and airplane) from the central and southern parts of Israel were compiled and analyzed utilizing a statistical methodology developed for this purpose.

Dispersion from an elevated source in a convective boundary layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model for dispersion of pollutants emitted from an elevated source into a convective boundary layer (PBL) by incorporating some of the most recent understanding of dispersion in the mixed layer.
