Long-range transport (LRT) of air pollutants from East Asia during the northeast
monsoon season impacts several downwind locations. In 2020, the initial COVID-19
lockdowns in China overlapped with Week 3 of the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday,
and an Asian outflow event. Thus, movement of the Chinese populace from city to
city was already greatly reduced by the time of the LRT episode, although the
reductions in industrial output are less clear. We found NO(2) column
concentrations were reduced by 24% during the CNY Week 3 this year compared to
previous years. The attenuated transport event arrived to northern Taiwan with a
PM(2.5) concentration <45 ?g m(-3) and most often <35 ?g m(-3), which is 2-3
times lower than LRT episodes of similar back-trajectory and synoptic patterns.
The whole episode persisted for about 60 h, longer than most LRT episodes from
China to Taiwan. CMAQ v5.2.1 modeling of the LRT event with 100% emission and
reduced emission scenarios, revealed emissions in China were approximately 50%
less than normal periods. Due to the length of the episode and the significant
reduction in emissions, Taiwan avoided a PM(2.5) surplus of 19.2 ?g m(-3) on
average during the episode, equivalent to a 0.5 ?g m(-3) reduction for the whole
3-month winter season. Employing the 100% emission model scenario and scaling up
to the average episode hours each winter, the PM(2.5) surplus delivered via
plumes on the northeast monsoon is equivalent to a 0.5 ?g m(-3) surplus for the
whole year.
