It is important to note that convective cells can cause air currents both upward and downward. Upward convective currents carry pollutants many kilometers high into the atmosphere. At these high altitudes advective currents and prevailing winds can transport these pollutants vast distances very quickly. As air spreads from the rising column, it is cooled and falls back down to the earth. This results in a circular rotation of the air. 3, record 8, English, - advective%20current

Drainage of the lake-beds, related to a seasonal phenomenon of dust storms between February and May, has also affected air quality. The midday air temperatures during the dry season generate strong advective currents that elevate salt and clay particles from the former lake bottom.

advection : The horizontal movement of air around the world is known as advection. Advection is the primary mechanism responsible for long range transport of pollutants. Although transport of pollutants via advection is minuscule at the earth's surface, at heights above 1000 m, where friction become negligible, wind velocities of 400 km/hr can carry pollutants at extremely fast rates. 3, record 8, English, - advective%20current

Dans la modélisation du transport atmosphérique des polluants, on distingue généralement le transport à grande distance du transport à courte distance. Certains auteurs utilisent également, comme catégorie intermédiaire, le transport à moyenne distance. Les termes qui désignent ces trois réalités constituent un système d'unités lexicales qu'on oppose les unes aux autres. De la même façon, en anglais, pour désigner ces réalités, on oppose les déterminants "short-range" et "long-range"; on trouve également parfois une catégorie intermédiaire exprimée par le déterminant "mid range". 2, record 16, French, - %C3%A0%20courte%20distance
