In January 2013, a severe regional haze occurred over the North China Plain. An online-coupled meteorology-chemistry model was employed to simulate impacts of aerosol–meteorology interactions on fine particles (PM2.5) pollution during this episode. The response PM2.5 meteorology change constituted feedback loop whereby planetary boundary layer (PBL) dynamics amplified initial perturbation PM2.5. High concentrations caused decrease surface solar radiation. maximal in daily average radiation...
Aerosol direct effects (ADEs), i.e., scattering and absorption of incoming solar radiation, reduce radiation reaching the ground resultant photolysis attenuation can decrease ozone (O3) formation in polluted areas. One other hand, evidence also suggests that ADE-associated cooling suppresses atmospheric ventilation, thereby enhancing surface-level O3. Assessment ADE impacts is thus important for understanding emission reduction strategies seek co-benefits associated with reductions both...
Driven by a rapid increase of energy consumption and emerging pollution control policies, air pollutant emissions have changed dramatically in China during 2005‐2010. This study developed multi-pollutant emission inventory, used the community multi-scale quality (CMAQ) modeling system to evaluate impact changes on particulate matter soil acidification. During 2005‐2010, SO2, PM10 PM2:5 decreased 14.9%, 15.1% 11.7%, respectively. In contrast, NOX, NMVOC NH3 increased 33.8%, 21.0% 10.4%, The...
Abstract. The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region has been suffering from the most severe fine-particle (PM2. 5) pollution in China, which causes serious health damage and economic loss. Quantifying source contributions to PM2. 5 concentrations a challenging task because of complicated nonlinear relationships between emissions multiple pollutants spatial regions sectors. In this study, we use extended response surface modeling (ERSM) technique investigate different sectors over BTH region,...
Abstract. Brown carbon (BrC), a certain group of organic (OC) with strong absorption from the visible (VIS) to ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, makes considerable contribution light on both global and regional scales. A high concentration proportion OC has been reported in China, but studies BrC based long-term observations are rather limited this region. In study, we 3-year results continuous measurement at Station for Observing Regional Processes Earth System (SORPES) Yangtze River Delta,...

Abstract. Understanding the mechanism of haze formation is crucial for development deliberate pollution control strategies. Multiphase chemical reactions in aerosol water have been suggested as an important source particulate sulfate during severe (Cheng et al., 2016; Wang 2016). While key role has commonly accepted, relative importance different oxidation pathways aqueous phase still under debate mainly due to questions about pH. To investigate spatiotemporal variability pH and winter North...
Black carbon (BC) plays an important role in the climate system because of its strong warming effect, yet magnitude this effect is highly uncertain owing to complex mixing state aerosols. Here we build a unified theoretical framework describe BC's states, linking dynamic processes BC coating thickness distribution, and show self-similarity for sites diverse environments. The size distribution BC-containing particles found follow universal law independent core size. A new module established...
Tropospheric ozone (O3) and fine particles (PM2.5) come from both local regional emissions sources. Due to the nonlinearity in response of O3 PM2.5 their precursors, contributions multiregional sources are challenging quantify. Here we developed an updated extended surface modeling technique (ERSMv2.0) address this challenge. Multiregional were estimated as sum three components: (1) impacts chemistry on formation pollutant associated with change its precursor levels at receptor region; (2)...
Abstract. Vehicle emissions containing air pollutants created substantial environmental impacts on quality for many traffic-populated cities in eastern Asia. A high-resolution emission inventory is a useful tool compared with traditional tools (e.g. registration data-based approach) to accurately evaluate real-world traffic dynamics and their burden. In this study, Macau, one of the most populated world, selected demonstrate simulation vehicular contribution pollutant concentrations by...

Planetary boundary layer (PBL) meteorology plays a vital role in air pollution, which has drawn increasing attention due to its adverse eco-environmental impacts. Although recent observational studies suggested the vertical heterogeneity of pollutants PBL, overall picture illustrating structure chemistry is still not fully understood, especially for polluted regions China. Here, wintertime observations main gaseous and particulate together with aerosol components ground-based lidar remote...
Abstract Modeling atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosol optical properties remains largely uncertain due to their complex mixing states, nonsphericity, and heterogeneity of coating distribution. Although there exist numerical models with realistic BC morphologies, these are mostly limited particle‐scale studies have not been coupled large‐scale or climate models. In this study, a multidimensional parameterization scheme is developed by an accurate algorithm for property calculation in global...
