Abstract:In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model with ISAM module was adopted to simulate a highly polluted PM2.5 episode across the Sichuan Basin between November 11and November 20 in 2021. In combination with ground-level meteorological observations and air quality monitoring data, the formation mechanism of this episode and sources of PM2.5 were elucidated. The results show that the variations of meteorological parameters and air pollutants concentrations were well captured by the WRF-CMAQ model. This PM2.5 episode was mainly affected by local emissions and unfavorable meteorological conditions featured by low wind speeds and high relative humidity, resulting in the accumulation of PM2.5 in the Chengdu Plain, which progressively reached its peak in a short period. The peak daily average PM2.5 concentration in multiple cities exceeded 150μg/m3. Further analysis performed by ISAM indicates that local anthropogenic emissions were the dominant source of PM2.5 in cities within the Sichuan Basin, with a contribution higher than 50% depicted in Chengdu, Chongqing, Dazhou, and Guangyuan cities. Regional transport from nearby regions also played an important role in elevating PM2.5 levels.
