Investigations of atmospheric pollution have recently reached a new
stage. In addition to the estimation and the monitoring of
pollutant concentrations in the air around their sources, by way of
observational data and also by calcu lations on the basis of
theoretical research, it is now possible to make short term
forecasts of air pollution and to use them to regulate industrial
emissions. Many countries are interested in such forecasts. In the
Soviet Union the organizations of the State Committee of the USSR
for Hydrometeorology (Goskomgidromet) are carrying out a wide-scale
scientific programme on the devising of methods to forecast
atmospheric pollution. Prognostic groups are organized in
territorial hydrometeocenters; in essence a new forecasting service
has been established. Nowadays, in more than 200 towns of the USSR
predictions are made and transmitted to large enterprises for the
purpose of taking the necessary steps to preserve air qua lity. To
ensure an operative working of this service, Methodological Instruc
(1979) have been issued, as well as other instructions and guides.
Wide tions scale verifications of proposed calculating methods have
been made. Prob lems of forecasting and regulating air pollution
have become evident lately in other countries as well. Much
attention to these problems is payed by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO). They have been widely dis cussed in a number of
international conferences and meetings for modelling and
investigating pollutant distribution in the atmosphere. The number
of publications on this subject is rapidly increasing."
