英文摘要Air pollution and wintertime fog over South Asia is a major concern due to its significant implications on air quality, visibility and health. Using a coupled regional climate model with on-line chemistry, we assess the contribution of the hygroscopic growth of aerosols (wet-dry) to the total aerosol optical depth and demonstrate that the increased surface cooling due to the hygroscopic effects of aerosols further increases the humidity in the boundary layer and thus enhances the confinement of pollutants through aerosol-boundary layer interactions. This positive feedback mechanism plays an important role in the prevalence of wintertime fog and low air quality conditions over South Asia, where water vapor contributes more than half of the aerosol optical depth. The aerosol-boundary layer interactions lead to the moistening of the boundary layer and drying of the free-troposphere, which amplifies the long-term trend in relative humidity over the Indo-Gangetic Plain during winter. Hence, the aerosol-water vapor interaction plays a decisive role in the formation and maintenance of the wintertime thick fog conditions over South Asia, which needs to be considered for planning mitigation strategies.
