    Abstract

    The primary and secondary air pollutant concentrations across the urban conurbations in the West Midlands region of England were predicted using a high spatial resolution mesoscale model. The ground- and air-based observations were used to validate the model in three dimensions. Aircraft were used to measure aerosols and trace gases in the troposphere of the conurbation surrounding Birmingham (UK). The net flux of pollutants from the Birmingham conurbation was estimated using mathematical models.
