Elucidating severe urban haze formation in China.
As the world's second largest economy, China has experienced severe haze pollution, with fine particulate matter (PM) recently reaching unprecedentedly high levels across many cities, and an understanding of the PM formation mechanism is critical in the development of efficient mediation policies to minimize its regional to global impacts. We demonstrate a periodic cycle of PM episodes in Beiji...
متن کاملSize-resolved source apportionment of particulate matter in urban Beijing during haze and non-haze episodes
Additional size-resolved chemical information is needed before the physicochemical characteristics and sources of airborne particles can be understood; however, this information remains unavailable in most regions of China due to lacking measurement data. In this study, we report observations of various chemical species in size-segregated particle samples that were collected over 1 year in the ...
متن کاملUrban heat islands in China enhanced by haze pollution
The urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon of higher temperatures in urban land than the surrounding rural land, is commonly attributed to changes in biophysical properties of the land surface associated with urbanization. Here we provide evidence for a long-held hypothesis that the biogeochemical effect of urban aerosol or haze pollution is also a contributor to the UHI. Our results are based...
متن کاملJovian Clouds and Haze
At wavelengths from the near-ultraviolet (0.2 μm) to the infrared (5 μm) Jupiter’s appearance is dominated by contrasts produced by clouds and haze. It is important to understand the distribution and optical and physical properties of cloud and haze particles because they play a major role in the radiative heat budget, and they can tell us about atmospheric processes such as stratospheric circu...
متن کاملThe Geography of Solar Photovoltaics (PV) and a New Low Carbon Urban Transition Theory
This paper examines the early phases of a 21st century energy transition that involves distributed generation technologies employing low or zero carbon emission power sources and their take-up within Australia, with particular reference to the major cities and solar photovoltaics (PV). This transition is occurring in a nation with significant path dependency to overcome in relation to fossil fu...
