Taeglyung in its west and the East Sea in its east on 00:00LST March 26~00:00 LST 4 April 2004. During a Yellow Dust period, the maximum PM10 (PM2.5 and PM1) concentration at the city was about 3.3 (1.1 and 1.01) times higher than one in the non-dust period. After the transported dust from the Gobi Desert and Nei-Mongo by strong northwesterly wind passed over Mt. Taegulyang and moved down toward the city. Then the dust was trapped inside a calm cavity generated by the confront of internal gravity waves (IGW) over the city and the eastward movement of the trapped dust is prohibited by the easterly onshore wind from the East Sea, and the trapped dust further combined with particulate and gaseous emitted from the road vehicles and heating boilers of the city at 09:00LST, March 30 (beginning time of office hours), causing high PM concentrations. On mid-day, as the combined dust due to daytime sufficient thermal convection rises up to the top of the thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) of a 300 m depth from the coast to the top of the mountain, the ground-based PM concentrations in the city are much lower at 15:00LST due to the higher thickness of the TIBL than at 09:00LST. At night, particulates emitted from many road vehicles after the end of office hours and residential heating boilers could combine with both dust transported from the Nei-Mongo and falling dust uplifted from the ground surface of the city during the day, and they were trapped inside a calm cavity by the IGV under much shallower stable nocturnal surface inversion layer than the TIBL, causing more dust to be accumulated near the surface and showing the maximum PM concentrations at 20:00 LST.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15020372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T04:47:08Z","timestamp":1673239628000},"page":"372","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Abrupt High PM Concentration in an Urban Calm Cavity Generated by Internal Gravity Waves and a Shallow Coastal Atmospheric Boundary Layer with the Influence of the Yellow Dust from China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Doo-Sun","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Atmospheric & Oceanic Disaster Research Institute, Dalim Apt. 209 ho, Songjungdong 940-23, Gangneung 25563, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Soo-Min","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Konkuk University, 268 Chungwon-daero, Chungju 27478, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3808-1438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyo","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Atmospheric & Oceanic Disaster Research Institute, Dalim Apt. 209 ho, Songjungdong 940-23, Gangneung 25563, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Historical records of yellow sand observations in China","volume":"7","author":"Chon","year":"1994","journal-title":"Res.
