Synergetic impacts of precursory climate drivers on interannual-decadal variations in haze pollution in North China: A review

Zhicong Yin et al.

Summary: Severe haze pollution in North China has been a major issue since winter 2012, with climate variability playing a significant role in the interannual-decadal variations in the number of haze days. Previous studies explored the impact of various climate drivers on HDNC separately, but lacked assessment of joint effects. This study reviews the impacts of climate drivers on HDNC, reveals synergetic effects, and identifies future research directions for subseasonal variations in HDNC and seasonal prediction of haze using numerical climate models.

Urban heat islands in Hong Kong: Bonding with atmospheric stability

Weiwen Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the daily and seasonal dynamics of urban heat islands in Hong Kong, revealing that the intensity of UHIs is stronger with higher atmospheric stability. Different atmospheric anomalies are observed in summer and winter, providing potential predictors for UHI intensity.

Impact of Rapid Urban Sprawl on the Local Meteorological Observational Environment Based on Remote Sensing Images and GIS Technology

Yanhao Zhang et al.

Summary: The rapid urban sprawl has significantly impacted the observational environment around meteorological stations by increasing built-up areas and anthropogenic heat flux. There is a positive correlation between the proportion of built-up areas and AHF, with suburban and rural stations experiencing greater increases in AHF than urban stations. Relocating meteorological stations can effectively improve the observational environment and reduce the urban heat island effect on meteorological observations.

Synergistic Influence of Local Climate Zones and Wind Speeds on the Urban Heat Island and Heat Waves in the Megacity of Beijing, China

Lian Zong et al.

Summary: The study found that rapid urbanization has intensified the urban heat island effect and frequency of heat wave events. Dense high-rise buildings in urban areas weaken wind speeds, favoring the occurrence of heat wave events. Heat flux in rural areas has increased due to water availability and vegetation, while in urban areas it mainly takes the form of sensible heat flux, leading to a stronger urban heat island effect during heat wave periods.

ERA5-Land: a state-of-the-art global reanalysis dataset for land applications

Joaquin Munoz-Sabater et al.

Summary: ERA5-Land is a global dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts within the Copernicus Climate Change Service, covering the period from 1950 to the present. It provides enhanced resolution and consistency in describing the evolution of the water and energy cycles, with added value in hydrological and energy cycle analysis.

Large-scale synoptic drivers of co-occurring summertime ozone and PM2.5 pollution in eastern China

Lian Zong et al.

Summary: Surface ozone (O-3) pollution during summer over eastern China has worsened in recent years, with a co-occurrence of surface O-3 and PM2.5 pollution under four different synoptic weather patterns (SWPs), two of which (Type 1 and Type 2) are particularly sensitive to compound pollution.
