Heavy pollution suppresses light rain in China: Observations and modeling
[1] Long-term observational data reveal that both the frequency and amount of light rain have decreased in eastern China (EC) for 1956–2005 with high spatial coherency. This is different from the trend of total rainfall observed in EC, which decreases in northern EC and increases in southern EC. To examine the cause of the light rain trends, we analyzed the long-term variability of atmospheric ...
متن کاملHeavy air pollution suppresses summer thunderstorms in central China
Time series of rainfall, thunderstorms, temperatures, winds and aerosols of 50 years have been analyzed at the Xian valley (1951–2005, rain rates data are only available for the period of 1961–2000 for Xian) and the nearby Mount Hua (1951–2005) in central China, for assessing the impact of the increasing air pollution on convective precipitation. Adding aerosols to pristine air initially increa...

متن کاملHeavy metal pollution in China: origin, pattern and control.
GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND Heavy metal is among one of the pollutants, which cause severe threats to humans and the environment in China. The aim of the present review is to make information on the source of heavy metal pollution, distribution of heavy metals in the environment, and measures of pollution control accessible internationally, which are mostly published in Chinese. METHODS Inform...
متن کاملOptimal rain rate estimation algorithm for light and heavy rain using polarimetric measurements
In this paper, we propose an ameliorated physically-based rain rate estimation algorithm for semi-arid regions using the Rayleigh approximation. The proposed algorithm simultaneously uses the reflectivity and the specific differential phase to provide an accurate estimation for both small and large rain rates. In order to validate the proposed estimator, simulated polarimetric rain rate data ba...
