Abstract Observational data indicate increasing trends of surface ozone (O 3 ) in China, despite emission controls that have resulted reductions precursor emissions. Here, we explore the cause this contradiction, through analysis observations (2014–2019) China and historical observation record United States (US, 1990–2019). Our observation‐based indicates nitrogen oxides (NO x emissions led to increase O North Plain (NCP) Yangtze River Delta (YRD) around 8 ppb. However, NO shift chemical...

Abstract. Estimation of land surface heat fluxes is important for energy and water cycle studies, especially on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), where topography unique land–atmosphere interactions are strong. The heating conditions also directly influence movement atmospheric circulation. However, high-temporal-resolution information plateau-scale has been lacking a long time, which significantly limits understanding diurnal variations in interactions. Based geostationary polar-orbiting satellite...
