Short summary

Over East Asia, the transboundary air pollution of SO₄²⁻ has been recognized. The importance of the transboundary air pollution of NO₃⁻ in winter was demonstrated in this study through synergetic ground-based observations with state-of-the-art measurements of secondary inorganic aerosols (SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, and NH₄⁺) and a regional chemical transport model analysis. This study will help to refine the understanding of transboundary heavy PM_2.5 pollution in winter.
