Extreme air pollution in Asia is affecting the world’s weather
and climate patterns, according to a study by Texas A&M University
and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers.
Yuan Wang, a former doctoral student at Texas A&M, along with
Texas A&M atmospheric sciences professors Renyi Zhang and R.
Saravanan, have had their findings published in the current issue of Nature Communications.

Using climate models and data collected about aerosols and
meteorology over the past 30 years, the researchers found that air
pollution over Asia – much of it coming from China – is impacting global
air circulations.
“The models clearly show that pollution originating from Asia has an
impact on the upper atmosphere and it appears to make such storms or
cyclones even stronger,” Zhang explains.
