Planetary Boundary-Layer Modelling and Tall Building Design. [PDF]
Characteristics of flow in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) strongly affect the design of tall structures. PBL modelling in building codes, based as it is on empirical data from the 1960s and 1970s, differs significantly from contemporary PBL models, which account for both "neutral" flows, and "conventionally neutral" flows.

A two-way coupled regional urban–street network air quality model system for Beijing, China [PDF]
Owing to the substantial traffic emissions in urban areas, especially near road areas, the concentrations of pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and its precursors, have a large difference compared to regional averages, and their distributions cannot be ...

Sources and processes of water-soluble and water-insoluble organic aerosol in cold season in Beijing, China [PDF]
Water-soluble and water-insoluble organic aerosol (WSOA and WIOA) constitute a large fraction of fine particles in winter in northern China, yet our understanding of their sources and processes are still limited.

Mixing state of refractory black carbon in fog and haze at rural sites in winter on the North China Plain [PDF]
The variability of the mixing state of refractory black carbon aerosol (rBC) and the corresponding complicated light absorption capacity imposes great uncertainty for its climate forcing assessment.

Mass spectral characterization of primary emissions and implications in source apportionment of organic aerosol [PDF]
Source apportionment of organic aerosol (OA) from aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) or aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM) measurements relies largely upon mass spectral profiles from different source emissions.

Measurement report: Long-term changes in black carbon and aerosol optical properties from 2012 to 2020 in Beijing, China [PDF]
Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in the radiation balance of the earth–atmosphere system. However, our knowledge of the long-term changes in equivalent black carbon (eBC) and aerosol optical properties in China is very limited. Here we analyze
