Formation and Evolution Mechanisms of Severe Haze Pollution in the Sichuan Basin, Southwest China by Xianyu Yang, Yaqiong Lu, Xinsheng Zhu, Jianjun He, Qi Jiang, Kai Wu, Haolin Wang, Xiaoling Zhang, Shigong Wang

“…The process analysis results indicated that primary emissions and aerosol processes were the major sources of PM2.5 in these urban regions, whereas vertical transport and dry deposition generally acted as sinks of PM2.5. In the presence of southwesterly synoptic winds, the aerosols emitted from the southern SCB were transported to Chengdu and the surrounding areas through horizontal transport and accounted for 66% of the PM2.5 concentration in Chengdu during Stage III. …”
