Impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on air pollution levels in East Asia.
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the coronavirus outbreak and the resulting lockdown of public venues on air pollution levels in East Asia was investigated using satellite remote sensing data from the Sentinel-5P and the Himawari-8 satellites to examine concentrations of NO2, HCHO, SO2, and CO, and the aerosol optical depth (AOD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential impact of shifting coal to gas and electricity for building sectors in 28 major northern cities of China
Han Chen,Wenying Chen +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the impacts of the coal substitution policy (coal-togas and coal-to-electricity) on building energy demand and emissions for Beijing, Tianjin, and other twenty-six cities along the air pollution transmission channel.

An evaluation of air quality, home heating and well-being under Beijing’s programme to eliminate household coal use
Christopher Barrington-Leigh,Jill Baumgartner,Ellison Carter,Brian E. Robinson,Shu Tao,Yuanxun Zhang +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of subsidies on household energy use and expenditure, well-being and indoor environmental quality by comparing treated and untreated villages in three districts that vary in socioeconomic conditions, and found that households in high and middle-income districts eliminated coal use with benefits to indoor temperature, indoor air pollution and life satisfaction.

Exploring the relationship between air pollution and meteorological conditions in China under environmental governance.
Yansui Liu,Yang Zhou,Jiaxin Lu +2 more
TL;DR: It is found that air pollution and meteorological elements have obvious seasonal and regional characteristics, and the concentration of most air pollutants was affected by meteorological conditions, but the level of impact depended on the type of pollutants and varied across regions.

Qili Dai,Xiaohui Bi,Wenbin Song,Tingkun Li,Baoshuang Liu,Jing Ding,Jiao Xu,Congbo Song,Naiwang Yang,Benjamin C. Schulze,Yufen Zhang,Yinchang Feng,Philip K. Hopke,Philip K. Hopke +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence of primary sulfate emissions from residential coal combustion (RCC) by testing particulate matter (PM) emissions from briquettes and chunk coal burned in a household stove.

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.

H. Prévôt +25 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to mitigating primary particulate emissions, reducing the emissions of secondary aerosol precursors from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning is likely to be important for controlling China’s PM2.5 levels and for reducing the environmental, economic and health impacts resulting from particulate pollution.

A Revised Approach to Ice Microphysical Processes for the Bulk Parameterization of Clouds and Precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, a revised approach to cloud microphysical processes in a commonly used bulk microphysics parameterization and the importance of correctly representing properties of cloud ice are discussed, and the impact of sedimentation of ice crystals is also investigated.

Review of the Governing Equations, Computational Algorithms, and Other Components of the Models-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System
Daewon W. Byun,Kenneth L. Schere +1 more
TL;DR: The Models-3 CMAQ system as mentioned in this paper is a community multiscale air quality modeling system that includes a meteorological modeling system for the description of atmospheric states and motions, emission models for man-made and natural emissions that are injected into the atmosphere, and a chemistry-transport modelling system for simulation of the chemical transformation and fate.
