Abstract

Abstract:

An air pollution episode over the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) during the period from 8 to 16 Dec 2011 was investigated using MM5-CMAQ model system. There were high NO₂ concentrations in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Ozone concentrations were greater than 40 ppb in the southeast of Hangzhou and on the borders between Anhui, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces. The SO₂ concentrations in Shanghai and Nanjing were high. The pollution episode occurred when SO₂ from emission and NO₂ from chemical and emission processes accumulated under weak diffusion conditions. NO also accumulated consuming ozone and resulting in a decrease of O₃ concentration.

Key words: CMAQ, gaseous pollutants, process analysis

CLC Number:
