Climatic Background and Prediction of Boreal Winter PM2.5 Concentrations in Hubei Province, China by Yuanyue Huang, Zijun Tang, Zhengxuan Yuan, Qianqian Zhang

“…The key findings are as follows: (1) Elevated DJF-HBPMC levels are associated with an upper-tropospheric northerly anomaly, a deepened southern branch trough (SBT) that facilitates southwesterly flow into central and eastern China, and a weakened East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM), which reduces the frequency and intensity of cold air intrusions. …”

Seasonal variation of air quality index and assessment by S.D. Kumar, A. Dash

“…It has been revealed from the study that the air quality status of the area has been declining from 2013 to 2016 i.e. 78.9 to 157.8 in summer, 49.4 to 84.3 in monsoon and 86.9 to 183.9 in winter season. It has also been found that, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5were responsible for maximum sub-index as well as air quality index. …”
