“…Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a worldwide environmental concern, particularly in densely populated megacities due to its complex effect on air quality, human health, and climate change. − Therefore, extensive studies have been conducted in the last two decades to characterize the sources and formation mechanisms of fine particles, and the air quality in developed regions such as North America and Europe also showed significant improvements. , In China, the national average PM 2.5 mass concentration decreased significantly from 61.8 μg m –3 in 2013 to 34 μg m –3 in 2021 since the implementation of clean air action, , indicating a great success in air pollution control during the last decade. However, the annual average concentration is still far higher than the latest air quality guideline (5 μg m –3 as annual average) released by the World Health Organization .…”

Air quality in Beijing has been improved significantly in recent years; however, our knowledge of the vertically resolved aerosol chemistry in summer remains poor. Here, we carried out comprehensive measurements of aerosol composition, gaseous species, and aerosol optical properties on a meteorological tower in Beijing in summer and compared with those measured in winter. Our results showed that aerosol liquid water (ALW) contributing approximately 50% of the total mass with higher values aloft played a crucial role in aerosol formation. Particularly, the higher nitrate concentration in city aloft than at the ground level during daytime was mainly due to the enhanced gas–particle partitioning driven by ALW and particle acidity. The vertical profiles of organic aerosol (OA) factors varied more differently in the urban boundary layer. Although the ubiquitous decreases in primary OA with the increase in height were mainly due to the influences of local emissions and vertical convection, the vertical differences in oxygenated OA between summer and winter may be related to the photochemical processing of different biogenic and anthropogenic volatile organic compounds. The single-scattering albedo, brown carbon, and absorption Ångstrom exponent of aerosol particles also presented different vertical profiles between day and night due to the vertical changes in aerosol chemistry.

“…Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) has severe impacts on public health ( Apte et al, 2018 ; Cohen et al, 2017 ; Yang et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2017 ), produces economic losses ( Maji et al, 2018 ; Xie et al, 2016 , 2019 ), and enhances the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) ( Ali et al, 2021 ; Borro et al, 2020 ; Rovetta and Castaldo, 2020 ) that has led most countries to set air quality standards for PM 2.5 ( Czy, 2019 ; Kim and Lee, 2018 ; Pitiranggon et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ). High concentration events (HCEs) of PM 2.5 occur consistently in South Korea, during the cold season, including January to March, especially in the Seoul-Metropolitan area (SMA; 33 cities comprising Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi province).…”

“…Anthropogenic sources, for example, are the combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, or vegetation res caused by humans [4]. Aerosols can act as solar and terrestrial radiation absorbers and scatterers, as well as condensation nuclei in water droplets and ice crystals, potentially a ecting climate change [5,6], human health [7,8], and air quality [9]. As solar radiation scatterers, aerosols (e.g., sulfate aerosols) play the opposite role to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing a direct e ect such as cooling the Earth's surface and also having an indirect effect by altering cloud formation and their properties [10,11].…”

This study aims to evaluate the performance of the long-term Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue (DB) Collection 6.1 (C6.1) in determining the spatiotemporal variation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and aerosol types over Indonesia. For this purpose, monthly MODIS DB AOD datasets are directly compared with Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 Level 2.0 (cloud-screened and quality-assured) monthly measurements at 8 sites throughout Indonesia. The results indicate that MODIS DB AOD retrievals and AERONET AOD measurements have a high correlation in Sumatra Island (i.e., Kototabang (r = 0.88) and Jambi (r = 0.9)) and Kalimantan Island (i.e., Palangkaraya (r = 0.89) and Pontianak (r = 0.92)). However, the correlations are low in Bandung, Palu, and Sorong. In general, MODIS DB AOD tends to overestimate AERONET AOD at all sites by 16 to 61% and can detect extreme fire events in Sumatra and Kalimantan Islands quite well. Aerosol types in Indonesia mostly consist of clean continental, followed by biomass burning/urban industrial and mixed aerosols. Palu and Sorong had the highest clean continental aerosol contribution (90%), while Bandung had the highest biomass burning/urban-industrial aerosol contribution to atmospheric composition (93.7%). For mixed aerosols, the highest contribution was found in Pontianak, with a proportion of 48.4%. Spatially, the annual mean AOD in the western part of Indonesia is higher than in the eastern part. Seasonally, the highest AOD is observed during the period of September–November, which is associated with the emergence of fire events.
