Short summary

In this paper, we present our new findings on (1) the spatial and temporal characteristics of AH emissions in South China, (2) how to implement the inhomogeneous AH data into the air quality model WRF/Chem, (3) the impacts of AH fluxes on meteorological fields, and (4) the impacts of meteorology changes on the air quality in different cities in South China. Our results show that the meteorology and air pollution predictions in and around big cities are highly sensitive to AH.
