Abstract. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to deterioration of air quality in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region due to high loadings of PM2.5. Heavy aerosol pollution frequently occurs in winter, in close relation to the planetary boundary layer (PBL) meteorology. To unravel the physical processes that influence PBL structure and aerosol pollution in BTH, this study combined long-term observational data analyses, synoptic pattern classification, and meteorology–chemistry coupled simulations. During the winter of 2017 and 2018, Beijing and Tangshan often experienced heavy PM2.5 pollution simultaneously, accompanied by strong thermal inversion aloft. These concurrences of pollution in different cities were primarily regulated by the large-scale synoptic conditions. Using principal component analysis with geopotential height fields at the 850 hPa level during winter, two typical synoptic patterns associated with heavy pollution in BTH were identified. One pattern is characterized by a southeast-to-north pressure gradient across BTH, and the other is associated with high pressure in eastern China. Both synoptic types feature warmer air temperature at 1000 m a.g.l., which could suppress the development of the PBL. Under these unfavorable synoptic conditions, aerosols can modulate PBL structure through the radiative effect, which was examined using numerical simulations. The aerosol radiative effect can significantly lower the daytime boundary layer height through cooling the surface layer and heating the upper part of the PBL, leading to the deterioration of air quality. This PBL–aerosol feedback is sensitive to the aerosol vertical structure, which is more effective when the synoptic pattern can distribute more aerosols to the upper PBL.

Aerosol Radiative

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program held its first mobile facility (AMF) field campaigns in Shouxian in eastern China. Based on the AMF data, we studied the radiative properties of aerosols in late autumn and early winter. The results show that aerosols and clouds decreased the surface total radiation flux (RF) by 27.5% and the shortwave (SW) RF by 30.8%. The aerosol radiative effect (ARE) in late autumn and early winter calculated is about -24.9 W/m2. In addition, we compared the AMF data with MODIS datasets in a 1×1 degree box. The net SW errors of Terra and Aqua were 97.4 and 30.0 w/m2. The net LW errors were 17.4 W/m2and 21.4 W/m2, respectively. The differences of the errors between Terra and Aqua were caused by the different zenith angles and the different atmospheric aerosol and vapor backgrounds during the satellite overpasses.

Nanpu Sag

Paleogene sediments, especially the third member of the Dongying Formation (Ed3) and the first and third members of the Shahejie Formation (Es1 and Es3), have been regarded as the most important source rocks in the Nanpu Sag. Organic and inorganic analyses, including Rock-Eval pyrolysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and element geochemistry, in 91 mudstone samples, were used to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental conditions, such as palaeoclimate, palaeo-salinity and palaeo-redox conditions, and to recognize the origin of organic matter. The results show that Es3 has a higher TOC content than Es1 and Ed3. Hydrocarbon genetic potential (S1 + S2) of the samples indicate fair to good hydrocarbon potential. The kerogen type of Ed3 and Es1 source rocks are Type II1–II2, while Es3 source rocks are dominated by Type II2–III kerogens. Biomarkers and inorganic geochemical indicatives of source rocks, such as Pr/Ph, V/(V + Ni) and Cu/Zn, indicate a lacustrine environment with fresh to brackish water under suboxic to anoxic conditions during deposition. Ed3 source rocks are characterized by low G/C30H (gamacerane/C30hopane) (<0.1), TT/C30H (tricyclic terpane/C30hopane) and S/H (serane/hopane), high Pr/Ph (pristane/phytane) and C24TeT/C23TT (C24tetracyclic terpane/C23tricyclic terpane), indicating mixed input of both algae and terrestrial higher plants, dominated by terrestrial higher plants. Es1 source rocks display medium G/C30H, TT/C30H, S/H, Pr/Ph and C24TeT/C23TT, indicative of a mixed input of both algae and terrestrial higher plants. Es3 source rocks are characterized by high G/C30H (>0.1), TT/C30H and S/H, low Pr/Ph and C24TeT/C23TT, typical of a mixed input of algae and terrestrial higher plants, with algal dominance. Ed3, Es1 and Es3 source rocks were mostly deposited in semi-arid to humid-warm climate conditions, with an average temperature higher than 15°C. This study suggests that suitable temperatures, a fresh to brackish lacustrine environment and suboxic to anoxic conditions could result in a high organic matter concentration and preservation, thus providing prerequisites for the formation of high-quality source rocks.Supplementary material: Tables S1–S3 are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5227684
