Abstract:Regular surface observation meteorological data, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, and national PM2.5 concentration data, combined with backward trajectory, air pollution transport index, and transport flux analysis, were used to analyze a cold-front induced large-scale haze weather process during December 10 and 11, 2019 in central and eastern China. The results showed that:(1) During the haze period, 500hPa was dominated by the meridional circulation, and accompanied with the upper-air low-pressure trough leading the ground cold front to move to the southeast. The heavy polluted area also moved from North China to Huang-huai and Jiang-huai. (2) Before the cold front passage, PM2.5 concentration in the region from North China to Yangtze River Delta increased significantly. Beijing was dominated by pollutants imported from the south, Jinan was mainly affected by pollutants from the northwest and east, and PM2.5 in Nanjing was mainly influenced by pollutants from north and west. (3) When the cold front passed through, the cold air quickly removed pollutants over Beijing Station, while the Jinan station was affected by the backflow of easterly wind at the bottom of the high pressure, and the PM2.5 concentration was maintained at about 50μg/m3. When the cold front intruded into the Nanjing station, weakened northwest flow had little effect on the removal of pollutants. Taking Jiangsu province as an example. In the whole cold front process, the contribution of local pollutants accounted for 25.8%, and the contribution of pollutants outside Jiangsu accounted for 74.2%, which were mainly transported from North China. (4) After the passage of the cold front, the boundary layer structures over the three stations were slightly different from each other. The inversion layer over the Beijing station was quickly dissipated, the lower boundary layer over the Jinan station changed from the isothermal layer to the inversion layer due to the influence of warm and wet advection from the sea, and the near-surface boundary layer over the Nanjing station changed from the inversion layer to the isothermal layer. This study revealed the impact of upstream pollutants on downstream area during the southward movement of the cold front, as well as the different evolution and removal characteristics of PM2.5 at the stations in the north and south China.
