Response of water vapour D-excess to land–atmosphere interactions in a semi-arid environment
S. D. Parkes,Matthew F. McCabe,Matthew F. McCabe,Alan D. Griffiths,Lixin Wang,Scott D. Chambers,Ali Ershadi,Ali Ershadi,Alastair G. Williams,Josiah Strauss,Adrian Element +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a chamber-based approach to directly measure D-excess in evaporation fluxes and showed that ET fluxes imposed a negative forcing on the ambient vapour and could not explain the higher daytime dv values.

Differences of near-ground atmospheric Rn-222 concentration between urban and rural area with reference to microclimate diversity
TL;DR: In this article, a unique 4-year dataset of hourly near-surface meteorological and atmospheric Radon-222 measurements made simultaneously at adjacent rural and urban sites in central Poland is presented and discussed.

Self-organized classification of boundary layer meteorology and associated characteristics of air quality in Beijing
Zhiheng Liao,Jiaren Sun,Jiaren Sun,Jialin Yao,Li Liu,Haowen Li,Jian Liu,Jielan Xie,Dui Wu,Shaojia Fan +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used self-organizing maps (SOMs) to classify atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) meteorology over Beijing through detecting topological relationship among the 5-year (2013-2017) radiosonde-based virtual potential temperature profiles.

Measurements of submicron particles vertical profiles by means of topographic relief in a typical valley city, China
Suping Zhao,Suping Zhao,Ye Yu,Dahe Qin,Daiying Yin,Zhiheng Du,Jianglin Li,Longxiang Dong,Jianjun He,Ping Li +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal PM1 vertical profiles and key affecting factors in a typical urban valley, using medium volume air samplers during 26 December 2017 to 11 January 2018 at five different altitudes by means of high topographic relief at urban areas of Lanzhou.
