Study on Spatial Temporal Distribution Characteristics of Air Quality Index in Beijing and Its Correlation with Local Meteorological Conditions by Jiaqi Guo, Zhongke Feng

“…The results showed that (1) the spatial increasing trend of AQI is obvious from the north to the south in Beijing zone, representing that the air quality is getting worse from the north to the south; (2) the diurnal variation of daily AQI value reveals interannual periodic trend and a relatively great fluctuating range from 485 to 0. (3) The correlation coefficients of daily AQI mean with average temperature, specific humidity and wind speed are −0.116, −0.073 and −0.192 respectively, displaying that all of the three factors are negatively correlated with AQI and average temperature and wind speed are significantly negatively correlated. …”
