Quasi-weekly oscillation of regional PM_2.5 transport over China driven by the synoptic-scale disturbance of the East Asian winter monsoon circulation by Y. Bai, T. Zhao, K. Meng, Y. Zhou, J. Xiong, X. Sun, L. Shen, Y. Yue, Y. Zhu, W. Hu, J. Yao

“…Therefore, this study is targeted at the quasi-weekly oscillation (QWO) of regional PM<span class="inline-formula">_2.5</span> transport over central and eastern China (CEC) with the influence of synoptic-scale disturbance of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) circulation. By constructing the data of daily PM<span class="inline-formula">_2.5</span> transport flux in CEC in the winters of 2015–2019, we utilize the extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) decomposition and other statistical methods to extract the moving spatial distribution of regional PM<span class="inline-formula">_2.5</span> transport over CEC, recognizing the QWO in regional PM<span class="inline-formula">_2.5</span> transport with the spatial–temporal variations over CEC. …”
