“…Refining the analysis on the period 8–15 June, anthropogenic

pollutants emitted along the coastline are exported toward the North

especially at the beginning of the night (18 UTC to 00 UTC) with the

establishment of the nocturnal low level jet. Plumes originating from

different cities overlay for some hours at the coast, leading to high

pollution level, because of specific disturbed meteorological

conditions.”
