Modeling the Impact of Atmospheric Warming on Staple Crop Growth in China in the 1960s and 2000s
Atmosphere, 2020 Responses of crop growth to climate warming are fundamental to future food security. The response of crops to climate change may be subtly different at their growing stages.

Impacts of an unknown daytime HONO source on the mixing ratio and budget of HONO, and hydroxyl, hydroperoxyl, and organic peroxy radicals, in the coastal regions of China [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 Many field experiments have found high nitrous acid (HONO) mixing ratios in both urban and rural areas during daytime, but these high daytime HONO mixing ratios cannot be explained well by gas-phase production, HONO emissions, and nighttime hydrolysis ...

A ‘receptive’ boundary layer [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 Receptivity is the process which describes how environmental disturbances (such as gusts, acoustic waves or wall roughness) are filtered by a boundary layer and turned into downstream-growing waves. It is closely related to the identification of initial conditions for the disturbances and requires knowledge of the characteristics of the specific ...

Extreme fluctuations of vertical velocity in the unstable atmospheric surface layer [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014 In this paper, we propose a new method to extract the extreme fluctuations of vertical velocity in the unstable atmospheric surface layer. Unlike the commonly used conditional sampling analysis, this method defines a threshold by using a systematical ...

Insights into aerosol chemistry during the 2015 China Victory Day parade: results from simultaneous measurements at ground level and 260 m in Beijing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Strict emission controls were implemented in Beijing and adjacent provinces to ensure good air quality during the 2015 China Victory Day parade. Here, we conducted synchronous measurements of submicron aerosols (PM1) at ground level and 260 m on a ...
