Study of Intensity and Thickness of Surface Heat Inversion for Baghdad

Abstract

Abstract this work presents the intensity and thickness surface heat inversions for Baghdad city. This inversion plays an important role in the study of concentrations of pollutants as well as its effect on spraying insecticides, which starts from a height of 2 m using the daily radiosonde data (midnight) of the period from (2013-2014) obtained from the Iraq Meteorological Organization and Seismology (IMOS). The intensity of the heat inversion was studied on a seasonal basis. It was clear from the study that surface heat inversion shows the highest intensity in the summer and the lowest intensity in both winter, spring and autumn. It was through this research calculated the thickness of the surface heat inversion the results were the largest thickness in the summer months.
