This article deals with the problem of artificial ventilation of urban intersections. The need to find solutions to this problem is caused by the growth of urban air pollution due to the ever-increasing emissions from industry and transport in the presence of inversions in the atmosphere over the city. As a result of the analysis of existing methods of local influence on weather conditions, a method was chosen to create an upward flow of heated air. A basic design of the meteotron is proposed in the form of a high chimney, for heating which solar heaters are used to create a temperature gradient. Preliminary calculations showed that with a specific power of solar heaters of 250 W/m2, the total power of the meteotron will be 375,000 W, which will create a temperature difference of 4.1 °C. The city meteotron will improve air circulation and reduce the concentration of harmful substances at urban intersections.
