Transport Channels of Air Pollutants Affecting the Southern Sichuan Basin Based on Gridded Dispersion Simulation.

ABSTRACT: Air pollutants suspended in the atmosphere have a large impact on air quality, climate, and human health. As one of the important populated and industrialized regions in China, the Sichuan Basin (SCB) has confronted severe air pollution in recent years. Previous studies have shown that regional transport played a significant role in the formation of regional pollution in the SCB, particularly in the southern basin. Using Yibin and Zigong as representative receptor cities, we further identified the transport channels affecting the southern basin by conducting gridded dispersion simulations. A total of seven channels were identified, including three for cyclonic transport, three through the mountainous areas between the Longquan Mountain and the Huaying Mountain, and one along the Yangtze Ri
