Short summary
To better characterize the anthropogenic emission-relevant aerosol species, the GSI-WRF/Chem data assimilation system was updated from GOCART to MOSAIC-4BIN scheme. Wintertime 2015–2017 (January) surface PM2.5 observations from more than 1600 sites were assimilated hourly. The observations and reanalysis data from the assimilation experiment were used to investigate year-to-year changes. Roles of emission and meteorology in driving the changes were also distinguished and quantitatively assessed.
