Dust-wind interactions can intensify aerosol pollution over eastern China
Eastern China has experienced severe and persistent winter haze episodes in recent years due to intensification of aerosol pollution. In addition to anthropogenic emissions, the winter aerosol pollution over eastern China is associated with unusual meteorological conditions, including weaker wind speeds. Here we show, based on model simulations, that during years with decreased wind speed, larg...
متن کاملDust–air pollution dynamics over the eastern Mediterranean
Interactions of desert dust and air pollution over the eastern Mediterranean (EM) have been studied, focusing on two distinct dust transport events on 22 and 28 September 2011. The atmospheric chemistry–climate model EMAC has been used at about 50 km grid spacing, applying an online dust emission scheme and calcium as a proxy for dust reactivity. EMAC includes a detailed tropospheric chemistry ...
متن کاملDiurnal variability of dust aerosol optical thickness and Angström exponent over dust source regions in China
[1] Using 22 months of Sunphotometer Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) data collected near the Taklamakan and Gobi dust source regions (Dunhuang, 40.09 N, 94.41 E) in China; we examine the diurnal and seasonal change of dust aerosol properties. Most dust events are during the spring through early summer months with a season-invariant diurnal change of more than ±10% for AOTand ±30% for Angström e...
متن کاملThe effect of smoke, dust, and pollution aerosol on shallow cloud development over the Atlantic Ocean.
Clouds developing in a polluted environment tend to have more numerous but smaller droplets. This property may lead to suppression of precipitation and longer cloud lifetime. Absorption of incoming solar radiation by aerosols, however, can reduce the cloud cover. The net aerosol effect on clouds is currently the largest uncertainty in evaluating climate forcing. Using large statistics of 1-km r...
