Four severe nuclear accident scenarios have been identified for operating nuclear power plants (ONPPs). However, there is a research gap in predicting the mid–long-term radiation doses for these scenarios. This study aims to address this gap by...
The dust storms with local and non-local dust sources mostly affect Khuzestan province in southwest (SW) Iran. In this study, the role of the low-level jet in the activation of the internal dust events in SW Iran during two severe dust cases was inve...
A severe ozone episode occurred in cities along the Yangtze River of Jiangsu Province (UAYRJS) from 6 to 8 September 2022, with daily maximum 8-h average ozone concentrations in the range of 65.8–119 ppb, peaking in Nanjing on 7 September. We u...
This study investigates the characteristics, meteorological drivers, and transport pathways of air pollution in Yining City from 2020 to 2024 based on meteorological records and air pollutant monitoring data. An integrated modeling approach combining...
Using GRIMM-1107 aerosol sampler, GOES-9 DCD satellite images, HYSPLIT model of backward trajectory and 3D-meteorological WRF-3.6 model, high particulate matter concentrations were investigated at Gangneung city in the Korean east coast which consist...
Dust is one of the most important problems of human societies in arid and semi-arid areas. This study analyzed the rising and propagation of the dust storm occurring from 21 to 23 May 2016 in Isfahan province (Central Iran) by using the WRF-Chem and...
The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS), recently released by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), represents a paradigm shift in global weather prediction by replacing traditional physically based methods wit...
Wildfire occurrence and severity in the Mediterranean region during the summer season is increasing, being favoured by climate change-induced conditions (i.e., drought, heatwaves). Moreover, additional natural sources frequently impact this region, p...
The Taihang Mountains serve as a critical geographical barrier in northern China, delineating two major 2.5-micrometer particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution hotspots in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region and the Fenwei Plain. This study exam...
Many methods for trajectory simulation, such as Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT), have been developed over the past several decades and contributed greatly to our knowledge in insect migratory movement. To improve the...
Since dust aerosols are one of the major pollutants in Georgia, it is important to study the aeolian desert dust (ADD) invasion to Georgia from the neighboring deserts to find out its contribution to the dust pollution problem. Therefore, the main ob...

Coastal atmospheric conditions widely vary from those over inland due to the land-sea interface, temperature contrast and the consequent development of local circulations. In this study a field meteorological experiment was conducted to measure verti...
This paper aims to investigate the potential contribution of biomass burning in PM2.5 pollution in Northern Thailand. We applied the coupled atmospheric and air pollution model which is based on the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) and a...
Numerical simulations revealed a profound interaction between the severe dust storm of 2007 caused by Santa Ana winds and the Gulf of California. The weather research and forecasting model coupled with a chemistry module (WRF-CHEM) and the hybrid sin...
Drying lakes have become a new source of dust, causing severe problems in surrounding areas. From 2000 to 2017, a statistical study was conducted on Lake Urmia in Iran in the Middle East. The results indicated a significant increase in the annual num...
The objective of this article is to conduct a review to analyze global trends in the use of air pollution models under the influence of climate variability (CV) over urban areas. Five scientific databases were used (2013–2024): Scopus, ScienceD...
This single high-impact case study investigates the impact of planetary boundary layer (PBL) representation on long-range transport of Amazon fire smoke that reached the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) from 15 to 20 August 2019, using th...

Atmospheric dispersion calculations are made using the HYSPLIT Particle Dispersion Model for studying the transport and dispersion of air-borne releases from point elevated sources in the Mississippi Gulf coastal region. Simulations are performed sep...
The Poland-AOD aerosol research network was established in 2011 to improve aerosol–climate interaction knowledge and provide a real-time and historical, comprehensive, and quantitative database for the aerosol optical properties distribution ov...
A heavy air pollution event occurred in Chengdu between 7 May 2014 and 8 May 2014. The present study established tracer sources based on HJ-1 satellite data, micropulse light detection and ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing data, and backward trajectorie...
Beijing, the capital city of China, has achieved remarkable progress in terms of an improvement in air quality under strict control policies in the past 10 years from various sources. In this paper, the characteristics of fine particulate matter (PM2...
This study investigated the convective weather features, precipitation microphysical characteristics, and water vapour transport characteristics associated with a southwest vortex precipitation event that occurred on the eastern edge of the Qinghai&n...
