| description | <p>Atmospheric aerosols can exert an influence on meteorology and air quality
through aerosol–radiation interaction (ARI) and aerosol–cloud interaction
(ACI), and this two-way feedback has been studied by applying two-way coupled
meteorology and air quality models. As one of the regions with the highest aerosol
loading in the world, Asia has attracted many researchers to investigate the
aerosol effects with several two-way coupled models (WRF-Chem, WRF-CMAQ,
GRAPES-CUACE, WRF-NAQPMS, and GATOR-GCMOM) over the last decade. This paper
attempts to offer a bibliographic analysis regarding the current status of
applications of two-way coupled models in Asia, related research focuses,
model performances, and the effects of ARI and/or ACI on meteorology and air
quality. There were a total of 160 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010
and 2019 in Asia meeting the inclusion criteria, with more than 79 % of
papers involving the WRF-Chem model. The number of relevant publications has
an upward trend annually, and East Asia, India, and China, as well as the North
China Plain are the most studied areas. The effects of ARI and both ARI and
ACI induced by natural aerosols (particularly mineral dust) and
anthropogenic aerosols (bulk aerosols, different chemical compositions, and
aerosols from different sources) are widely investigated in Asia. Through
the meta-analysis of surface meteorological and air quality variables
simulated by two-way coupled models, the model performance affected by
aerosol feedbacks depends on different variables, simulation time lengths,
selection of two-way coupled models, and study areas. Future research
perspectives with respect to the development, improvement, application, and
evaluation of two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models are
proposed.</p> |
