In this paper, the spatial dynamics of the atmospheric particulate matters (resp. PM 10 and PM 2.5) are studied using turbulence methodologies. It is found experimentally that the spatial correlation function ρ (r) shows a log-law on the mesoscale range, ie, 50≤ r≤ 500 km, with an experimental scaling exponent β= 0.45. The spatial structure function shows a power-law behavior on the mesoscale range 90≤ r≤ 500 km. The experimental scaling exponent ζ (q) is convex, showing that the intermittent correction is relevant in characterizing the spatial dynamic of particulate matter. The measured singularity spectrum f (α) also shows its multifractal nature. Experimentally, the particulate matter is more intermittent than the passive scalar, which could be partially due to the mesoscale movements of the atmosphere, and also due to local sources, such as local industry activities.
