With the rapid economic growth in China, the years from 2012 to 2017 witnessed a severe outbreak of haze pollution. In response, numerous enterprises were shut down or forced to reduce production, leading to significant negative impacts on the econom...

This study focuses on understanding the health impacts of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from the Kaohsiung Coastal Industrial Park and port areas in southern Taiwan on neighboring communities. Six important HAPs (formaldehyde, benzene, arse...

In this paper, we utilize the Advanced Research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (ARWv4) to explore how the fog is affected by the basin’s topography during a radiation fog event in the Sichuan Basin in December 2016 by set...

Contrails, or condensation trails, left by aircraft, significantly contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite their critical role in climate dynamics, the environmental impact of contrails remains underexpl...

Atmospheric water vapor, a significant constituent of the atmosphere, affects the energy balance between Earth’s atmosphere and space, and its changes play a crucial role in the greenhouse effect. Layer precipitable water (LPW), which represent...

Urban environments experience amplified thermal stress due to the climate change, leading to increased health risks during extreme temperature events. Existing numerical weather prediction systems often lack the spatial resolution required to capture...

Recent advancements have led to a growing prevalence of studies examining ionospheric and atmospheric anomalies as potential precursors to earthquakes. In this context, the study involved analyzing variations in ionospheric total electron content (TE...

The primary goal of this study is to introduce the initial phase of developing an impact-based forecasting system for extreme heatwaves, utilizing a novel multivariate index which, at this early stage, already employs a combination of a statistical a...

The aerodynamic performance of twin tall buildings immersed in the atmospheric boundary layer was numerically investigated by adopting the spatial-averaged large eddy simulation (LES) method. This study focused on the effects of corner cutting and ch...

Local governments excessively pursued an economic growth-oriented incentive system while neglecting air pollution control for a long time in China. The impacts of environmental assessment and public appeal could potentially promote environmental gove...
