Weekly variations in temperature and precipitation in Moscow: Relation with weekly cycles of air pollutants and synoptic variability

The results of an analysis of intraweek differences in surface temperature precipitation, and optical aerosol thickness (τ₅₅₀) in Moscow and in the vertical profiles of air temperature and wind over central Russia within the 2000–2009 period are given. The relation between the weekly cycles of the meteorological parameters and those of anthropogenic pollutions and dynamic processes is studied.
