Description	This study identified the meteorological parameters that influence PM $2.5$ concentrations in the Greater Cincinnati area by employing principal components analysis and multi-variable regression. Meteorological and PM $2.5$ data were collected over several years to derive statistical relationships about the seasonal variability of meteorological parameters and quantify their influence on PM $2.5$ . We studied the effect of meteorological parameters by seasons and by k-means clustering. The results show that outdoor temperature (OT), planetary boundary height (HPBL) and visibility (VIS) have the strongest effect on PM $2.5$ . The distribution of PM $2.5$ concentrations in each cluster and season was evaluated using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test with data fitting using the lognormal and gamma distributions. To our observation, we found the PM $2.5$ concentration fits the gamma distribution marginally better than the lognormal distribution.
