Short summary
This study uses 1 km resolution Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with 
Chemistry (WRF-Chem) simulations to investigate how Lake Chaohu affects fine 
particulate matter (PM2.5) in Hefei. The lake shows a diurnal reversal, increasing 
daytime pollution by secondary aerosol formation and storage zones with suppressed 
mixing and low deposition, while purifying urban air at night through enhanced vertical 
mixing. Lake emission treatment affects lake-urban air quality assessments.
