Cover Story: Under the framework of Long-range Transboundary Air Pollutants in Northeast Asia (LTP) project that was launched by governments of China, Japan, and Korea, three modeling groups simulated PM2.5 concentrations targeting the remote exit-and-entrance areas of transboundary transport over three countries. The employed models are WRF-CAMx (by China), NHM-RAQM2 (by Japan), and WRF-CMAQ (by Korea), and the results showed apparent bias that remains unexplored in both exit and entrance areas. Nevertheless, three models indicated higher NO3/SO42– ratios in exit-and-entrance areas especially in winter under the favorable environments for ammonium nitrate formation, and also suggested that gas-aerosol partitioning for semi-volatile species of ammonium nitrate could be achieved at the entrance areas of transboundary transport over China, Japan, and Korea.
