Choose one or more locations for which historical data is available and a time period of atleast 30 years or more. Support or contest the hypothesis that climate has changed over thenominated period through a review of the available meteorological and climatologicalevidence.Reviewthepossiblecauses for thechange(ifthereisone).

3. ,a bad place to breathe.
Pick a location known for poor air quality. Describe a bad air pollution episode for thatlocation and analyse the meteorological conditions that result in poor air quality, givingevidence in the form of typical synoptic charts, aerological diagrams, or other atmosphericdiagrams.
Regardless of which topic you choose, we expect you to base at least some of your conclusionson original observations based on primary source data. Integration of data, figures, and text isimportant.
