The Mount Tai Experiment 2006 (MTX2006): regional ozone photochemistry and aerosol studies in Central East China
The Mount Tai Experiment 2006 (MTX2006): regional ozone photochemistry and aerosol studies in Central East China
Editor(s): F. J. Dentener, S. C. Liu, and L. T. Molina Overview paper
This special issue is devoted to the international intensive field campaign MTX2006 held at the summit of Mount Tai in June 2006, focusing on:
  • The chemistry and transport of ozone and its precursors;
  • The composition, chemistry and transport of aerosols over Central East China (CEC), one of the most regionally polluted areas in the world.
The Campaign was organized by Drs. Yugo Kanaya, Hajime Akimoto and Zifa Wang.
