Abstract:Based on the IASI satellite observation from 2010 to 2020, the NH3 emissions in China (with a resolution of 0.25°×0.25°) were estimated by the emission flux method. The spatiotemporal distributions as well as the long-term trends of NH3 emissions were analyzed. The results showed that the average annual emission and the overall emission intensity of NH3 in China from 2018 to 2020 were 18.61 Mt and 1.93t/km2, respectively. The NH3 emissions in China increased from 12.68Mt in 2010 to 20.75Mt in 2020, with a linear growth rate of 815.10kt/a and a relative growth rate of 5.43%/a. Meanwhile, the proportion of the area with emission intensity exceeding 3.00t/km2 to the total land area of China increased from 4.88% to 20.08%. Areas with high emission intensity were mainly located in the North China Plain and the Chengdu-Chongqing area. Seasonal variation of the NH3 emissions is remarkable. The emissions in spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively accounted for 25.92%, 36.55%, 19.61%, and 17.92% of the total annual emission. Three main patterns were observed based on the monthly variation of NH3 emissions: (1) Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and parts of northeast and northwest China, where animal husbandry is the main sector, showed a two-peaks pattern (with peaks in winter and summer); (2) Fujian, Taiwan, and a majority part of South China, where double cropping is dominated, also showed a two-peaks pattern (with peaks in spring and summer);(3) A single-peak pattern (with the peak in summer) was found in the rest regions of China. The growth of NH3 emission in the North China Plain was the fastest, followed by the Chengdu-Chongqing area, while in the northeast, northwest, and southwest regions except Chengdu-Chongqing area, the growth was relatively slow. Non-agricultural sources such as industry and transportation sectors have become more important in contributing to the NH3 emission in China. The industrial NH3 escape and vehicle emissions may be the main reasons for the rapid growth of NH3 emissions in China in recent years. Considering NH3 is one of the main sources of PM2.5, it is suggested to consider the spatiotemporal differences of NH3 emissions in relevant policy-making for PM2.5 pollution control.
