Abstract

Direct, "This research looks at how land use change affects pollution concentrations in two rapidly developing areas of China: the Yangtze River Delta and the Jing-Jin-Ji (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei) region, using both direct and indirect feedback. Predictions of air quality in rapidly developing areas require more recent land use data. The US Geological Survey's (USGS) Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data from April 1992 to March 1993 at 1 km spatial resolution is used as the default land use data collection in WRF-Chem (Loveland et al., 2000). This study modifies WRF-Chem to allow for the updating of land use data sets, and the method is demonstrated with data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in the mid-2000s. The US Geological Survey (USGS) and NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites (MODIS) land-cover maps are used to analyze land-use data in order to "simulations of the atmospheric and chemical fields in these two regions during the 1990s and investigate the influence of urbanization.
