Monitoring Extreme Meteorological and Pollution Events in Prague: A Station Data Based Analysis

In this brief study we examined two recent extreme weather occurrences in the Czech Republic: a high-temperature anomalous condition during midwinter (January 2023) and the impact of a wildfire in České Švýcarsko National Park (July 2022) on the particulate matter (PM) concentrations in Prague.
A special focus of this study was to evaluate meteorological and pollution measurements located in Troja Campus, which belongs to the Department of Atmospheric Physics from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Katedra fyziky atmosféry MFF UK). Overall, both episodes were effectively captured by the instruments and the data analysed showed consistency between the Troja Campus stations and the CHMI station network, highlighting the capability of our monitoring stations to provide data for further studies.
