Characteristics and Mechanism of Water Vapour Resources in the Northern Slope of Kunlun Mountains

ABSTRACT Atmospheric water resources in the northern slope of Kunlun Mountains (NKM) are a crucial limiting factor for regional economic development and ecological security. Consequently, it is urgent to accurately assess the atmospheric water vapour and potential mechanisms in N...

HailCam: an automated imaging system for real-time measurement of hail size distributions and fall rates

Abstract. Ground-based hail observations with high temporal resolution and precise microphysical quantification remain critically scarce, limiting the validation of radar-based hail detection algorithms and convective-scale numerical models. Existing automatic hail sensors often...

Grid-level source tracing and source variation of sand and dust storm affecting in Beijing

Abstract In recent years, sand and dust storm (SDS) activity in Northern China has shown a notable increasing trend. Fine-scale source apportionment of SDS events affecting Beijing is crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind this increase, facilitating effective desertific...

Impacts of anthropogenic aerosols on a snowfall event – a case study in the Guanzhong Basin and its surrounding areas, China

Abstract. Impacts of anthropogenic aerosols on clouds and snowfall during winter precipitation events remain highly uncertain, particularly under heavy pollution. A winter snowfall event over the Guanzhong Basin (GZB) and its surrounding regions (GZBs), China, has been simulated...
