This study updates the CESM's aerosol schemes, focusing on dust, marine aerosol emissions, and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) . Dust emission modifications make deflation areas more continuous, improving results in North America and the sub-Arctic. Humidity correction to sea-salt emissions has a minor effect. Introducing marine organic aerosol emissions, coupled with ocean biogeochemical processes, and adding aqueous reactions for SOA formation advance the CESM's aerosol modelling results.

Organic aerosols of marine origin are important for aerosol climatic effects but are poorly understood. For the first time, an online coupled regional chemistry–climate model is applied to explore the characteristics of emission, distribution, and direct and indirect radiative effects of marine organic aerosols over the western Pacific, which reveals an important role of marine organic aerosols in perturbing cloud and radiation and promotes understanding of global aerosol climatic impact.

We built China's first ten-year record from a ground-based microwave sensor that tracks temperature and humidity above Xianghe. After checking data quality and separating clear, cloudy, and rainy periods, we produced reliable one- to ten-minute data for 2013-2022. Improved methods reduced errors in temperature and humidity estimates. The record shows that winter cold air is often trapped near the ground, especially during heavy fine-particle pollution, supporting weather and air-quality studies.

Solar power data must be accurate to track climate change, but current "quality checks" are often too loose, missing small errors. We developed a smarter system that groups locations based on their actual sunlight patterns rather than just geography. By using AI to tailor the rules for each group, we caught more errors than the old global standards. This makes solar data more reliable worldwide, helping scientists better understand the Earth’s energy and improve renewable energy planning.

We separated the roles of chemical composition and particle size in influencing absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) using ground and column measurements together with interpretable machine learning. We found that near surface AAE is influenced by higher fine mineral dust and inorganic ions fractions. Fine-mode effective radius has an influence close to black carbon on columnar AAE. Columnar AAE contributes to radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere comparably to single scattering albedo.

The radiative forcing (RF) of PM2.5 heavy pollution, its influencing factors and importance to precipitation in the Bohai Rim regions (China) during 2014–2023 is analyzed. The results show that the variations in PM2.5 and RF values under different temperature profiles are not consistent. Pollution RFs were as important as vertical winds to the total precipitation. The results may improve understanding of the radiative effect of pollution and provide some assistance in precipitation forecasting.

NPF (new particle formation) is a key global CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) source, but its contribution at the polluted boundary-layer top remains unclear. Based on mountaintop observations in the Yangtze River Delta, we show that under polluted conditions, NPF at the boundary-layer top is enhanced and accelerates its conversion to CCN. Ammonia plays a key role, and a newly defined "Time Window" metric highlights the importance of oxidation-driven growth and regional transport in this process.

We tested two satellite-based irradiance datasets against both high- and low-accuracy ground-based measurements. The dataset is unique: it includes irradiance measurements from a new research-grade monitoring station in a rare climate, along with new satellite data from China's Fengyun-4B geostationary satellite. Findings suggest that using low-accuracy measurements as a reference for validation can be risky.

Our results demonstrate that the reduction in mass absorption efficiency from biomass burning is mainly driven by the decline in the imaginary part, with particle size playing a minor role. And light absorption of oxygenated brown carbon (BrC) increases significantly with aging, but hydrocarbon-like BrC decreases over time. These results emphasize the necessity to classify BrC into different groups based on their mass absorption efficiency and atmospheric behavior in climate models.

Snow forms in two ways: by droplets freezing onto snowflakes (riming) or by snowflakes sticking together (aggregation). These processes often overlap and are hard to tell apart with standard radar. We developed a new radar method using three wavelengths to track how signals change with height, allowing us to distinguish riming and aggregation. It captures subtle changes that older methods miss, providing a clearer picture of how snow forms and leading to more accurate snowfall forecasts.

A novel concept integrating crop cycle information into fire spot extraction was proposed. Spatiotemporal variations of open straw burning in Northeast China are revealed. Open straw burning in Northeast China emitted a total of 218 Tg of CO2-eq during 2001–2020. The policy of banning straw burning effectively reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Based on the MicroWave Radiation Imager aboard FY-3 series satellites, we developed a global terrestrial precipitable water vapor dataset from 2012 to 2020. This dataset overcomes the limitations of infrared observations and provides accurate, all-weather PWV data ,spanning all types of land surface. Researchers are expected to leverage it to explore the role of water vapor in weather patterns, refine precipitation forecasting, and validate climate simulations.

The Marine Weather Observer (MWO) system completed a long-term observation, actively approaching the center of Typhoon Sinlaku on 24 July–2 August 2020, over the South China Sea. The in situ observations were evaluated through comparison with buoy observations during the evolution of Typhoon Sinlaku. As a mobile observation station, MWO has shown its unique advantages over traditional observation methods, and the results preliminarily demonstrate the reliable observation capability of MWO.

PM2.5 pollution still frequently occurs in northern China during winter, and it is necessary to figure out the causes of air pollution based on intensive real-time measurement. The findings elaborate the chemical characteristics and source contributions of PM2.5 in three pilot cities, reveal potential formation mechanisms of secondary aerosols, and highlight the importance of controlling biomass burning and inhibiting generation of secondary aerosol for air quality improvement.

Secondary organic aerosols are an important component of PM2.5, with contributions from anthropogenic, biogenic volatile organic compounds, semi- and intermediate volatility organic compounds. Policy makers need to know which SOA precursors are important. We investigated the role of different SOA precursors and SOA algorithms by applying two commonly used models, CAMx and CMAQ. Suggestions for SOA modelling and control are provided.

To investigate the physico-chemical properties of aerosol transported from major pollution regions in China, observations were conducted ~200 m above the ground at the junction location of the two key pollution areas. We found that the formation efficiency, oxidation state and production rate of secondary aerosol were different in the transport sectors from different pollution regions, and they were largely enhanced by the regional long-distance transport.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP), the highest plateau in the world, plays a crucial role in regional and global climate. To examine the fingerprint left by human activities on the originally remote atmosphere, size distributions of particles from the ground to about 800 m were measured for the first time in summer 2020 in Lhasa, one of a few urbanized cities on TP. Potential sources of particles at different heights were explored. The contribution of emissions from religious activities was highlighted.

Through simultaneous online measurements of detailed aerosol compositions at both surface and surface-influenced mountain sites, the evolution of aerosol composition during daytime vertical transport was investigated. The results show that, from surface to the top of the planetary boundary layer, the oxidation state of organic aerosol had been significantly enhanced due to evaporation and further oxidation of these evaporated gases.

Short summary
Aerosol–radiation–climate interaction is one of the least understood mechanisms in air pollution and climate change. A coupled chemistry–climate model is developed to explore the mechanisms of haze evolution and aerosol radiative feedback in north China. The feedback exerts a significant impact on haze evolution. The contributions of physical and chemical processes to the feedback-induced aerosol changes are elucidated and quantified, providing new insights into the feedback mechanism.
