With the doubling of urban population within the next two decades and the disproportionate
growth of megacities, it is critical to explore the synergism between urban heat and pollution …

Growing evidence suggests that environmentally relevant elevations in CO2 (< 5,000 ppm)
may pose direct risks for human health. Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations could …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Urban Pollution Island (UPI) are two major problems
of the urban environment and have become more serious with rapid urbanization. Since UHI …

The exchange of heat, momentum, and mass in the atmosphere over mountainous terrain is
controlled by synoptic-scale dynamics, thermally driven mesoscale circulations, and …

Migration and pollution are two defining features of China's impressive growth performance
over the last 30 years. In this paper we study the migration response to pollution in Chinese …

Mountainous terrain exerts an important influence on the Earth's atmosphere and affects
atmospheric transport and mixing at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The …

Coupling of the earth's surface with the atmosphere is achieved through an exchange of
momentum, energy, and mass in the atmospheric boundary layer. In mountainous terrain …

Pollutant dispersion processes over complex terrain are much more complicated than over
flat areas, as they are affected by atmospheric interactions with the orography at different …

The variability of the lower tropospheric temperature inversion (TI) across China remains
poorly understood. Using seven years' worth of high-resolution radiosonde measurements …

The number of studies on urban cooling strategies has been continuously growing. A
common premise is that urban heat island (UHI) mitigation has a net beneficial effect on …
