主 题:atmospheric nitrogen dioxide anthropogenic emissions meteorology conditions human mobility COVID-19 quarantine
摘 要:In early 2020,unprecedented lockdowns and travel bans were implemented in Chinese mainland to fight COVID-19,which led to a large reduction in anthropogenic *** provided a unique opportunity to isolate the effects from emission and meteorology on tropospheric nitrogen dioxide(NO;2;).Comparing the atmospheric NO;2;in 2020 with that in 2017,we found the changes of emission have led to a49.3±23.5% reduction,which was~12% more than satellite-observed reduction of 37.8±16.3%.The discrepancy was mainly a result of changes of meteorology,which have contributed to an 8.1±14.2%increase of NO;2;.We also revealed that the emission-induced reduction of NO;2;has significantly negative correlations to human mobility,particularly that inside the *** intra-city migration index derived from Baidu Location-Based-Service can explain 40.4%±17.7% variance of the emission-induced reduction of NO;2;in 29 megacities,each of which has a population of over 8 million in Chinese mainland.
