Regional transport and transformation of air pollution in eastern China
Regional transport and transformation of air pollution in eastern China

Eastern China is experiencing serious air pollution. North China Plain, including the megacities Beijing and Tianjin, is the region with the worst air pollution in China, followed by cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan along the Yangtze River basin. To understand the transport and transformation processes of atmospheric pollution, as well as to evaluate the impacts of aerosol on climate and cloud formation, many studies have been conducted in eastern China. As a follow up to CAREBEIJING 2006/2007/2008, the CAREBEIJING-NCP (Campaigns of Air Pollution Research in Megacity Beijing and North China Plain) and the Yangtze River campaign were conduced in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to address critical scientific questions, such as HOx chemistry, atmospheric oxidative capacity, chemical composition of fine particles, formation processes of new particle and secondary aerosol, multiphase reaction on the surface of fine particles, optical and hygroscopic properties of aerosol and their implications for air quality and climate impacts. The major findings from studies in this region will be reported in this special issue.
