TLDR
Results show that in spite of the extreme reductions in primary emissions, China cannot fully tackle the current air pollution, and re-organisation of the energy and industrial strategy together with trans-regional joint-control for a full long-term air pollution plan need to be further taken into account.About:

COVID-19's impact on the atmospheric environment in the Southeast Asia region.

TL;DR: The lockdown of anthropogenic activities due to COVID-19 has led to a notable decrease in AOD over SEA and in the pollution outflow over the oceanic regions, while a significant decrease in tropospheric NO2 was observed over areas not affected by seasonal biomass burning.

TL;DR: Investigating impacts of COVID-19 mitigation measures on ambient air quality in five Indian cities using in-situ measurements from 2015 to 2020 indicated improvements in air quality may be considered a temporary lockdown benefit as revitalising the economy could reverse this trend.

Diurnal and temporal changes in air pollution during COVID-19 strict lockdown over different regions of India.
TL;DR: Delhi's air quality has improved with a significant reduction in primary pollutants, however, an increase in O3 was observed, and the changes reported during the lockdown are combined effect of changes in the emissions, meteorology, and atmospheric chemistry that requires detailed investigations.

Air quality changes in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: Examining whether changes in air quality were observed in NYC resulting from New York State's COVID-19-associated shutdown measures found no significant difference between the years; however, using a linear time lag model, when changes in these pollutant concentrations were compared to those measured during the same span of time in 2015–2019, no significant differences were found.

The impact of COVID-19 on transport volume and freight capacity dynamics: An empirical analysis in German food retail logistics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of COVID-19 on transport volume and freight capacity dynamics in German food retail logistics and showed that the increasing freight volume for dry products in retail logistics does not depend on the duration of the COVID19 epidemic, but on the strength quantified through the total number of new infections per day.

Radiative transfer for inhomogeneous atmospheres: RRTM, a validated correlated-k model for the longwave
TL;DR: A rapid and accurate radiative transfer model (RRTM) for climate applications has been developed and the results extensively evaluated as discussed by the authors, which is performed using the correlated-k method: the k distributions are attained directly from the LBLRTM line-byline model, which connects the absorption coefficients used by RRTM to high-resolution radiance validations done with observations.

A New Vertical Diffusion Package with an Explicit Treatment of Entrainment Processes
TL;DR: In this article, a revised vertical diffusion algorithm with a nonlocal turbulent mixing coefficient in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is proposed for weather forecasting and climate prediction models, which improves several features compared with the Hong and Pan implementation.

Bulk Parameterization of the Snow Field in a Cloud Model
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional, time-dependent cloud model was used to simulate a moderate intensity thunderstorm for the High Plains region, where six forms of water substance (water vapor, cloud water, cloud ice, rain, snow and hail) were simulated.
