Radiative transfer in a polluted urban atmosphere has been studied using a dynamic model. The diurnal nature of radiative transfer for summer conditions has been simulated for an urban area 40 km in extent and the effects of various parameters arising in the problem have been investigated. The results of numerical computations show that air pollution has the potential of playing a major role in the radiative regime of the urban area. Absorption of solar energy by aerosols in realistic models of urban atmosphere are of the same order of magnitude as that due to water vapor. The predicted effect of the air pollution aerosol in the city is to warm the earth-atmosphere system, and the net effect of gaseous pollutant is to warm the surface and cool the planetary boundary layer particularly near the top.
