This study investigates the impact of Lake Chaohu on PM2.5 in Hefei using 1 km resolution WRF-Chem simulations. Lakes show a diurnal reversal where the lake increases daytime pollution but purifies urban air at night. Daytime enhancement is dominated by secondary aerosol formation and storage zones with suppressed mixing and low deposition. Nighttime purification is driven by enhanced urban vertical mixing. Lake emission treatment affects the assessment of lake-urban air quality interactions.

Pyrocumulonimbus (PyroCb) convection during the August 2024 North American wildfires injected smoke aerosols into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, altering cloud microphysics. These aerosols induced warming near fire sources and downwind over Western Europe, while producing contrasting effects over fire-source regions, cooling along the US West Coast and warming across North America, demonstrating strong wildfire-aerosol-cloud-radiation feedbacks with transcontinental impacts.

Climate models help in the study of aerosol impacts on regional climate. However, the atmosphere's chaotic nature makes it hard to separate true aerosol impacts from chaotic effects. Our ensemble experiments show that while large-scale aerosol effects are consistent, regional aerosol impacts vary significantly among experiments. We give a formula showing the relationship between chaotic effects and ensemble sizes, emphasizing the necessity of adequate ensemble members to capture reliable aerosol impacts.

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of unstructured meshes using the integrated Atmospheric Model Across Scales (iAMAS) over Antarctica, encompassing both surface and upper-level meteorological fields. Comparisons with the fifth-generation reanalysis (ERA5) from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and observational data indicate that iAMAS performs well in simulating the Antarctic atmosphere.

This study investigates the impact of turbulent mixing on black carbon (BC) concentrations in urban areas simulated at 25, 5, and 1 km resolutions. Significant variations in BC and turbulent mixing occur mainly at night. Higher resolutions reduce BC overestimation due to enhanced mixing coefficients and vertical wind fluxes. Small-scale eddies at higher resolutions increase the BC lifetime and column concentrations. Land use and terrain variations across multiple resolutions affect turbulent mixing.

Short summary
Traditional numerical schemes of aerosol chemistry and interactions (ACI) in atmospheric models are computationally costly and are often simplified or omitted, introducing uncertainties. We use an AI scheme to achieve fast, accurate, and stable end-to-end simulation for full ACI within an atmospheric model, replacing numerical schemes. This innovation is expected to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ACI simulations in climate models that would otherwise neglect or simplify ACI processes.

We employed the WRF-Chem model to parameterize atmospheric nitrate deposition in snow and evaluate its performance in simulating snow cover, snow depth, and concentrations of dust and nitrate using new observations from northern China. The results generally exhibit reasonable agreement with field observations in northern China, demonstrating the model's capability to simulate snow properties, including concentrations of reservoir species.

In this study, we improved the calculation of how aerosols in the air interact with radiation in WRF-Chem. The original model used a simplified method, but we developed a more accurate approach. We found that this method significantly changes the properties of the estimated aerosols and their effects on radiation, especially for dust aerosols. It also impacts the simulated weather conditions. Our work highlights the importance of correctly representing aerosol–radiation interactions in models.

We document details of the regional climate downscaling dataset produced by a global variable-resolution model. The experiment is unique in that it follows a standard protocol designed for coordinated experiments of regional models. We found negligible influence of post-processing on statistical analysis, importance of simulation quality outside of the target region, and computational challenges that our model code faced due to rapidly changing super computer systems.

A rainfall event that occurred at Zhengzhou on 20 July 2021 caused tremendous loss of life and property. This study compares different KDP estimation methods as well as the resulting QPE outcomes. The results show that the selection of the KDP estimation method has minimal impact on QPE, whereas the inadequate assumption of rain microphysics and unquantified vertical air motion may explain the underestimated 201.9 mm h−1 record.

The impacts of atmospheric dust aerosols and cloud dynamic conditions on precipitation vertical development in southeastern China were studied using multiple satellite observations. It was found that the precipitating drops under dusty conditions grow faster in the middle layer but slower in the upper and lower layers compared with their pristine counterparts. Quantitative estimation of the sensitivity of the precipitation top temperature to the dust aerosol optical depth is also provided.

Accurate prediction of aerosol pH in chemical transport models is essential to aerosol modeling. This study examines the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) on aerosol pH predictions and the sensitivities to emissions of nonvolatile cations and NH3, aerosol-phase state assumption, and heterogeneous sulfate production. Temporal evolution of aerosol pH during haze cycles in Beijing and the driving factors are also presented and discussed.

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) can influence atmospheric chemistry and secondary pollutant formation. This study examines the performance of different versions of the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) in modeling BVOCs and ozone and their sensitivities to vegetation distributions over eastern China. The results suggest more accurate vegetation distribution and measurements of BVOC emission fluxes are needed to reduce the uncertainties.

Short summary
Regional models are widely used to investigate aerosol climatic impacts. However, there are few studies examining the sensitivities of modeling results to regional domain size. In this study, the regional model is used to study the aerosol impacts on the East Asian summer monsoon system and focus on the modeling sensitivities to domain size. This study highlights the important impacts of domain size on regional modeling results of aerosol climatic impacts, which may not be limited to East Asia.
