| Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats: | |
| The project consists in analyzing if there is any relation between high/moderate polluted episodes and light rain events.
To study this relationship observational data for the last ten years will be used: weather data (precipitation, wind speed and direction) recorded at several automatic weather stations and pollution data in the city of Barcelona and its surroundings. By analyzing this data during different pollution episodes, we will discuss what is the influence of the emissions at the city in light precipitation. |

| Overview (resum en anglès): | |
| The amount of pollution during the past years has grown an 8% worldwide, worsening the air quality and affecting hundreds of urban areas. The objective of this project is to determine if this rising is affecting in some way precipitation processes, using the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (BMA) as an example.
Based on precipitation and pollution data of the past years (2005-2015), measured automatic stations scattered all around the MAB, comparing data of the pairs of close stations and that are of the same type. The comparisons, however, have not revealed any measurable relationship between concentration of pollutants and precipitation in the Barcelona area, probably due to the fact that the environment is not polluted enough, or because the pollution data is incomplete, as there are important pollutants missing on it (i. e. particulate matter). |
