Based on cluster analysis, spring weather in Taipei Basin 2004 was characterised as five weather systems: humid/low south wind speed, dry cold/high east wind speed, humid cold/east wind, dry cold/northeaster, and northwestern convection wind. Under the humid/low south wind speed and northwestern convection wind systems, there are predominant influences of local vehicle/motor pollutant emissions and secondary pollution on the air quality. Asian dust storms were usually occurred under the weather of dry cold/high east wind speed. The regional air quality is more acceptable during the period of prevalent humid cold/east wind and dry cold/northeaster.15enjournal article
