Precipitation cyclicity plays a crucial role in regional water supply and climate predictions. In this study, we used observational data from 34 representative meteorological stations in the Xinjiang region, a major part of inland arid China, to char...

This study assesses the ability of fourteen CMIP5 climate models to reproduce the main characteristics of major stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWp) in historical simulations. Model performance is evaluated through comparisons with three reanalysis d...

Combined air pollution of ozone and PM_2.5 often occurs in coal-based cities of China such as Taiyuan City. In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting/Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model was employed to simulate a combined high air pollution event of...

Since pre-industrial times, anthropogenic methane emissions have increased and are partly responsible for a changing global climate. Natural gas and oil extraction activities are one significant source of anthropogenic methane. While methods have bee...

Ozone (O₃) is a major air pollutant with significant health effects, including increased respiratory and cardiovascular mortality. While previous research has largely focused on urban areas, this study assesses the association between maximum 8 h O₃...

Nitro-functionalized heterocycles, such as nitroimidazoles, are significant environmental contaminants and have been identified as components of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and biomass-burning organic aerosols (BBOA). Their strong absorption in...

A common approach to estimating the spatial–temporal distribution of atmospheric species properties is data assimilation. Data assimilation methods provide the best estimate of the required parameter by combining observations with appropriate p...

Coastal zones represent the most active interfaces where natural processes and human activities converge, making them crucial for biodiversity and socioeconomic development. These zones are characterized by their fragility and susceptibility to frequ...

The increase in the carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration is a major driver of global warming, presenting significant challenges to ecosystems and human societies. Satellite remote sensing technology can monitor the continuous spatial variation of the a...

Using multi-source precipitation datasets including NASA GPM (IMERG), GPCP, ECMWF ERA5, and station precipitation data from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), along with ERA5 reanalysis fields for atmospheric circulation analysis, this st...
