The equipment can measure air temperature at altitudes of up to 1,000 meters and detect temperature inversions.

In simple terms, it is a weather phenomenon in which air movement near the ground weakens. As a result, smoke, dust and other pollutants do not disperse upward but accumulate over the city. This can lead to deteriorating air quality.

The new equipment will allow specialists to regularly monitor such phenomena and more accurately assess the impact of weather conditions on air pollution levels.

The data collected will enable a detailed analysis of the causes behind increases or decreases in pollution levels and make more informed decisions to improve air quality.

This temperature inversion monitoring system is being introduced in Kyrgyzstan for the first time.
