I want to conduct this research in the summer months, in order to estimate if high temperature and high air pollution are strongly correlated and if temperature is an estimator of the pollution. If you have any suggestions or any research papers related to my topic would be highly appreciated.
High temperature and air pollution have remote possibility to have any correlation. Pollution may have some sources. It is better install air pollution monitoring units and analyse the collected air samples and establish some relationship if any. This will be a good research topic.
Hi
According to the MARPOL Convention it is necessary to determine the atmospheric emission from ships and identify the contribution with other emission sources. If you consider the estimating the air quality you need the atmospheric emissions (NOx, SO2, O3, VOC, and PM) they are the main pollutant, CB concentrations are very well to determine in the air. I consider, the most importante the RADIATION in the coast, because the VOC and PM are the origin to ozone , and other pollutants, the catalytic ciclic for NOx is very important with the radiation level. It depends, what pollutants do you need to measure (main, particles, metals, or greenhouses? . But, is the GOAL is estimating you need to simulate the air quality!!!

While monitoring is essential to accomplish your purpose, I would share a perspective. I grew up in NJ, 20 minutes from NYC. We would sometimes experience a temperature inversion during summer months. While I am not a meteorologist, I recognized this to be what we now call the effect GHG emission. Any area where GHG emissions are strong can experience higher temperatures. Realize that, by it's nature, burning of any fuel releases excess heat as well as GHGs. The CO2 has impact as well as the heat release itself.
