Winds at the 1000 - foot level and air pollution dispersion over the Kelang Valley region

Analysis of wind data for the 1000-foot at Subang Airport indicates that at night the wind flow is from Kuala Lumpur-Petaling Jaya towards Shah Alam, Kelang and Port Kelang. During the day, the flow pattern is reversed; the wind blows from the sea inland. Such patterns will inevitably affect air pol...
