TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a regional insight into characteristics and formation process of the widespread extreme haze pollution in northern China during January of 2013 using integrated satellite observations and ground measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a positive correlation between the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and surface-level particulate matter (PM) concentrations was found using vertical-and-RH correcting method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared Deep Blue (DB) and Dark Target (DT) retrievals over China and evaluated their performance with ground observations, finding that DT tended to overestimate the aerosol loading by underestimation of the surface contribution and single scattering albedo of aerosols.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-scale study on formation process of urban pollution and haze clouds as well as their interactions over northern China in spring using integrated satellite and surface observations was presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on ground-based lidar observations of the same event from every continent in the Northern Hemisphere, taking advantage of the synergy between global lidar networks such as EARLINET, MPLNET and NDACC with independent lidar groups and satellite CALIPSO.
