Measurement report: Impact of cloud processes on secondary organic aerosols at a forested mountain site in southeastern China [PDF]
Aerosol particles play critical roles in climate and human health. However, aerosol composition and evolution, particularly secondary organic aerosol (SOA), and aerosol interactions with clouds in high-altitude background areas in China remain less ...

Interaction Between Planetary Boundary Layer and PM2.5 Pollution in Megacities in China: a Review
During the past decades, the number and size of megacities have been growing dramatically in China. Most of Chinese megacities are suffering from heavy PM2.5 pollution.

Simulated phase state and viscosity of secondary organic aerosols over China [PDF]
Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) can exist in liquid, semi-solid, or amorphous solid states. Chemical transport models (CTMs), however, usually assume that SOA particles are homogeneous and well-mixed liquids, with rapid establishment of gas–particle ...

Estimation of particulate organic nitrates from thermodenuder–aerosol mass spectrometer measurements in the North China Plain [PDF]
Particulate organic nitrates (pON) are an important component of secondary organic aerosol in biogenic-emission-dominant environments and play a critical role in NOx cycles.

Investigating the importance of sub-grid particle formation in point source plumes over eastern China using IAP-AACM v1.0 with a sub-grid parameterization [PDF]
The influence of sub-grid particle formation (SGPF) in point source plumes on aerosol particles over eastern China was firstly illustrated by implementing an SGPF scheme into a global–regional nested chemical transport model with an aerosol microphysics ...

Multi-method determination of the below-cloud wet scavenging coefficients of aerosols in Beijing, China [PDF]
Wet scavenging is one of the most efficient processes for removing aerosols from the atmosphere. This process is not well constrained in chemical transport models (CTMs) due to a paucity of localized parameterization regarding the below-cloud wet ...
