The safe bet would be some atmospheric event that concentrated existing pollution. Any new pollution generation event would be expected to have more impact on the baseline, right?
- icegreentea 14y agoPossibly. They appear to be events that truly saturate the sensor, as all of the spikes have the exact same concentration and air quality index readings (995 and 827 respectively).
- taylorwc 14y agoDid a bit more poking around. Could be a temperature inversion causing a spike (http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/climate/TemperatureInversions.php http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/climate/TemperatureInversions.ph...). Would be heavily dependent on the location of the sensor and surrounding topography, which all fits. If I find time, I might overlay weather data and see what it looks like.
