Abstract
In recent years, although the air quality in the Liaoning region has improved, heavy pollution weather is still caused by external pollution transportation. In order to study the influence of multi-directional long-distance pollution on the heavily polluted weather in Liaoning, this paper analyzes three types of transport channel (northerly, northwesterly, and southwesterly transport corridors) by combining ground observations, airborne observations, AQI and the concentration data of atmospheric pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10 and so on. The results show that both northerly and southwesterly winds caused widespread fog and haze in the Liaoning region. The PM2.5 concentration reached the second-highest value on record (1479 μg/m3) during the pollution period caused by northwesterly wind transport. Wind and sand transported from the northwest mainly caused dusty weather in Liaoning, with PM10 concentration reaching up to 1200 μg/m3 during the pollution period. Northeasterly and northwesterly wind transport mainly led to the accumulation of pollutants in high places to high pollution values. Convergence of winds due to southwesterly wind transport led to prolonged accumulation of pollutants in the Liaoning region, resulting in severe pollution. Long-distance pollution transport is now one of the main sources of heavy pollution in the Liaoning region.
