The Holzworth's method was applied to estimate the daily maximum mixing height (DMMH) in Pohang, Osan and Kwangju areas. The data-base were established with meteorological data collected at air bases in these areas during the period 1983∼1992. It was investigated the seasonality, monthly trends and occurrence frequencies of the estimated DMMH data in each area. The estimated mean DMMH were found in the range of 1,100 m (winter) to 1,450m (spring). These mean DMMH data showed a typical seasonality in which higher values are commonly seen during spring and fall, while lower values during summer and winter seasons. An occurrence of estimated mean DMMH which in the range of 1,000∼2,000m altitude was appeared to be about 60%.
