Study of Air Carrying Capacity of Ayodhya city, Uttar Pradesh, India

In the present study,atmospheric carrying capacity was estimated based on ventilation coefficient. Ventilation coefficient is directly proportional to the atmospheric carrying capacity that was computed by using micrometeorological parameters of two seasons namely winter and summer. The diurnal variation inventilation coefficient was recorded. The highest value of air carrying capacity was observed during the afternoon hours and it decreases in themorning and evening hours in both the seasons. It was noticed that the winter season has low air carrying capacity throughout the day as compared to summer. The value of ventilation coefficient was observed to be less than 2000 m2/s during morning and evening hours in winter. Whereas, higher ventilation coefficient value lower than 8000 m2/s was recorded during the summer season.
