Conclusions
Higher concentrations of aerosol particles across a wider size range
can be observed in urban areas at low elevations AGL
In regions featuring mountain topography, such as the LA Basin &
the San Joaquin Valley (Bakersfield), aerosol particles may be
transported vertically via the mountain chimney effect
