The Human Dimension of Pollution Policy Implementation: Air Quality in Rural China
(Center for Modern China, 2002)
The People's Republic of China is experiencing severe air pollution with very serious public health and economic consequences. Over the past decade, the Chinese government has sought to utilize bureaucratic, political, ...
Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity in China
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2009)
Wind offers an important alternative to coal as a source of energy for generation of electricity in China with the potential for substantial savings in carbon dioxide emissions. Wind fields derived from assimilated ...
Variations of \(O_3\) and CO in Summertime at a Rural Site Near Beijing
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2008)
Large intra-season differences in mixing ratios of CO and \(O_3\) were detected at Miyun, a rural site north of Beijing, in summer 2006. Despite an increase in mean daytime mixing ratio of CO from 500 ppbv in June to 700 ...
Regional CO Pollution in China Simulated by the High-Resolution Nested-Grid GEOS-Chem Model
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)
An updated version of the nested-grid GEOS-Chem model is developed allowing for higher horizontal (0.5°×0.667°) and vertical resolution as compared to global models. CO transport over a heavily polluted region, the ...
Global Potential for Wind-Generated Electricity
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
The potential of wind power as a global source of electricity is assessed by using winds derived through assimilation of data from a variety of meteorological sources. The analysis indicates that a network of land-based ...
Ozone Air Quality During the 2008 Beijing Olympics: Effectiveness of Emission Restrictions
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)
A series of aggressive measures was launched by the Chinese government to reduce pollutant emissions from Beijing and surrounding areas during the Olympic Games. Observations at Miyun, a rural site 100 km downwind of the ...
Seasonal variability of NOx emissions over east China constrained by satellite observations: Implications for combustion and microbial sources
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
Observations of tropospheric column densities of NO2 obtained from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) for a 3-year period (1997, 1998, and 2000) are used to derive average seasonal variations in surface emissions ...
Traffic restrictions associated with the Sino-African summit: Reductions of NOx detected from space
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
Aggressive measures were instituted by the Beijing municipal authorities to restrict vehicular traffic in the Chinese capital during the recent Sino-African Summit. We show that reductions in associated emissions of NOx ...
A nested grid formulation for chemical transport over Asia: Applications to CO
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)
A global three-dimensional chemical transport model (GEOS-CHEM) was modified to permit treatment of a limited spatial regime with resolution higher than that adopted for the global background. Identified as a one-way nested ...
Regional CO pollution and export in China simulated by the high-resolution nested-grid GEOS-Chem model
(Copernicus GmbH, 2009)
An updated version of the nested-grid GEOS-Chem model is developed allowing for higher horizontal (0.5°×0.667°) resolution as compared to global models. CO transport over a heavily polluted region, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ...
