Aerosols, minuscule solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, exhibit a size range spanning from nanometers to tens of micrometers. Their impact on the atmosphere’s temperature is dual, engendering either warming or cooling effects, contingent upon the aerosol type. Consequently, it becomes imperative to comprehensively grasp the intricacies of aerosols and their inherent characteristics. In this study, we center our attention on the investigation of key aerosol optical properties, specifically the asymmetry parameter (ASY), aerosol optical depth (AOD), and single scattering albedo (SSA). Our research delves into the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of these aerosol optical properties across four distinct locations within India, namely Gandhi College, Kanpur, Jaipur, and Pune. These selected sites encompass the major classifications of aerosols, encompassing both anthropogenic and natural sources. Within the purview of these available aerosol optical properties, we endeavor to quantify the direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF). To further enhance the rigor of our findings, we employ the control variable method to assess the uncertainty associated with direct aerosol radiative forcing concerning aerosol optical properties. Our results underscore that the asymmetry parameter (ASY) exerts a relatively minor influence on DARF, while single scattering albedo (SSA) and aerosol optical depth (AOD) wield substantial impact. Furthermore, this influence is contingent upon the specific aerosol type and exhibits notable regional variations, as different parameters manifest diverse effects contingent upon their respective geographical contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139979544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two experiments were conducted: NF simulation without the ADE feedback and YF simulation with the ADE feedback. The ADE resulted in a decrease in shortwave radiation at the surface and an increase in shortwave radiation in the atmosphere. Additionally, the 2-m temperature, 10-m wind speed, and planetary boundary layer (PBL) height decreased. The changes in meteorological conditions due to ADE-induced atmospheric stability and restrained vertical mixing resulted in deteriorated air quality. During the simulation, PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations increased due to ADE, with daily averages rising by 4.2 µg·m<sup>−3</sup> on transport day and 3.2 µg·m<sup>−3</sup> on accumulation day. Process analysis (PA) was employed to investigate contributions of physical/chemical processes affecting ADE. Local emissions, aerosol processes, and horizontal advection were identified as key factors in PM<sub>2.5</sub> increases in Seoul. Differences in the contributions of processes were noted between transport and accumulation day due to ADE considerations. On transport day, the YF simulation exhibited a higher influx of PM<sub>2.5</sub> through horizontal advection, attributed to transport from upwind regions. Conversely, on accumulation day, horizontal advection decreased due to enhanced atmospheric stability, while vertical transport increased from restrained vertical mixing induced by ADE. Thus, ADE emphasized the contribution of processes to PM<sub>2.5</sub>. Emissions and horizontal advection were primary contributors on transport day, while the emissions process dominated on accumulation day.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49109,"journal":{"name":"Air Quality Atmosphere and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139980049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) from Fengyun-4A satellite was used as the main predictor variable. The other predictor variables include meteorological variables, fire hotspots, vegetation index, terrain elevation, and population density. Surface PM<sub>2.5</sub> from 17 air quality monitoring stations was used for model development and evaluation. Satellite AOD aligns reasonably well with AOD from two AERONET stations in the study area in terms of correlation coefficient (<i>r</i>), mean bias (MB), mean error (ME), and root mean square error (RMSE). Among the individual models, adaptive boosting performed the best with <i>r</i> = 0.75, MB = 0.55 µg m<sup>−3</sup>, ME = 9.1 µg m<sup>−3</sup>, and RMSE = 12.9 µg m<sup>−3</sup>. As for SEM which comprises all individual models, it outperformed every individual model, with <i>r</i> = 0.84, zero MB, ME = 7.2 µg m<sup>−3</sup>, and RMSE = 10.4 µg m<sup>−3</sup>. In two additional cases of haze hours and clean hours, SEM is best overall while adaptive boosting is superior to the other individual ML models. The case of haze hours has lower model predictability, suggesting elevated PM<sub>2.5</sub> is difficult to predict. SEM was thus chosen to map PM<sub>2.5</sub> as well as exposure intensity over GBK. Good agreement between the observed and predicted diurnal and monthly patterns is achieved by every model. PM<sub>2.5</sub> tends to be relatively high at 08–10 LT and declines in later hours, corresponding to higher traffic emissions in the morning and daytime meteorological conditions more favorable to dilute air pollutants, respectively. PM<sub>2.5</sub> intensifies in the winter but decreases in March and April. During these two months, the areas outside Bangkok tend to have higher PM<sub>2.5</sub> than within Bangkok, possibly linked to active summertime biomass burning in those areas that are less urbanized with more agricultural lands. Relatively high exposure intensity is constrained to Bangkok due likely to its much denser population. The findings indicate a significant potential for leveraging the Fengyun-4A satellite data and ML to advance space-based air quality monitoring for Thailand and other data-scare regions in Southeast Asia.
