Short summary
Our study investigates how air pollution affects lower troposphere behavior. While the overall height of this layer did not change significantly under heavy pollution, we found a slight delay in the start of air movement and a rapid rise of warm air pockets. We also found out that absorbing aerosols warms the air despite blocking sunlight. For the layer height, no dominant effect was found. This research improves our understanding of how pollution influences atmospheric dynamics.
