Pollution in China may affect US weather

In place of the US position, China has recently become a world leader in CO ₂ emissions. It is worth mentioning that, according to scientists' estimates, China's greenhouse gas emissions not only affect the environment and health of people in the country and surrounding areas, but their impacts also spread. to the western United States.

While the Chinese government asserted that the black aura in Beijing in early December was merely mist, the results of the observation at the US Embassy in Beijing showed that air flow. again expressed high levels of air pollution and danger to the extent that traffic could be interrupted, flights were delayed or forced to cancel.

Concerned about the impact of the pollution phenomenon, Ms. Kim Prather of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (USA), who presented the study, said that air pollution in China could affect time. In America, at a scientific conference in San Francisco, said: 'The atmosphere has no separating walls, so the contamination in this area can spread to other areas away from it within 5 days. '.

It is known that pollutant emissions in China often move in narrow atmospheric flow throughout the Pacific Ocean. Existing in this country's atmosphere, pollution can prevent clouds from forming rain and snow. However, after examining California's atmospheric samples, Prather found a contradiction that pollution from China could cause a lot of rain in the United States due to the collection of dust collecting enough moisture to form rain, snow from heavy storms in China's vast desert regions.

She is currently working with her colleagues to explore the relationship between the above weather patterns and the pollution phenomenon.

By clarifying this complex issue, her research can contribute to improving the accuracy of weather forecasts, and explains why some clouds can create blizzards.
