Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Airborne particulate matter (PM) plays a vital role on climate change as well as human health. In the present study, temporal variability associated with mass concentrations of PM 10, PM 2.5, and PM 1.0 were analysed using ground observations from Mahabaleswar (1348 m AMSL, 17.56 0 N, 73.4 0 E), a high-altitude station in the Western Ghats, India from June 2012 to May 2013. Concentrations of PM 10, PM 2.5, and PM 1.0 showed strong diurnal, monthly, seasonal and weekday-weekend trends. The seasonal variation of PM 1.0 and PM 2.5 has showed highest concentrations during winter season compared to monsoon and pre-monsoon, but in the case of PM 10 it showed highest concentrations in pre-monsoon season. Similarly, slightly higher PM concentrations were observed during weekends compared to weekdays. In addition, possible contributing factors to this temporal variability has been analysed based on the variation of secondary pollutants such as NO 2, SO 2, CO and O 3 and long range transport of dust.
