Since its first confirmed case at the end of 2019, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic in three months with more than 1.4 million cases worldwide, as early April 2020. Quantifying changes pollutant emissions due to and associated governmental control measures is crucial understand impacts on economy, air pollution, society. We used WRF-GC model tropospheric NO2 column observations retrieved by TROPOMI instrument derive top-down NOx emission change estimation between periods: P1 (January...

Abstract. Time series data in practical applications always contain missing values due to sensor malfunction, network failure, outliers etc. In order handle time series, as well the lack of considering temporal properties machine learning models, we propose a spatiotemporal prediction framework based on value processing algorithms and deep recurrent neural (DRNN). By using tag interval represent patterns, implement three different fixing algorithms, which are further incorporated into that...

The evaporative emissions of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOCs) are sensitive to ambient temperature. This sensitivity forms an air pollution-meteorology connection that has not been assessed on a regional scale. We parametrized the temperature dependence AVOC fluxes in quality model and evaluated impacts surface ozone Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) area China during summer 2017. dependency drove enhanced simulated ozone-temperature 1.0 1.8 μg m–3 K–1, comparable driven by...

Abstract Heavy rainfall is one of the major aspects tropical cyclones (TC) and can cause substantial damages. Here, we show, based on satellite observational data numerical model results, that between 1999 2018, rain rate in outer region TCs has been increasing, but it decreased significantly inner-core. Globally, TC increased by 8 ± 4% during this period, which mainly contributed an increase due to increasing water vapor availability atmosphere with rising surface temperature. On other...

Abstract. Nitrogen oxide radicals (NOx≡NO+NO2) emitted by fuel combustion are important precursors of ozone and particulate matter pollution, NO2 itself is harmful to public health. The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), launched in space 2020, now provides hourly daytime observations columns over East Asia. This diurnal variation offers unique information on the emission chemistry NOx, but it needs be carefully interpreted. Here we investigate drivers observed GEMS...

Abstract We combined observations and simulations to assess tropospheric ozone trends over Southeast Asia from 2005 2016. Multi‐platform showed that surface had been increasing at rates of 0.7–1.2 ppb year −1 the Peninsular (PSEA) 0.2–0.4 Maritime Continents (MC); columns rising throughout by 0.21–0.35 DU . These observed were better reproduced driven with satellite‐constrained NO x emissions, indicating emission growths may have underestimated for PSEA overestimated MC in Community...
