“…Even though urbanization has been proven to have a notable effect on urban climate (Cao et al, 2016;Chen et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2015;Cheng & Chan, 2012;Huff & Changnon, 1972;Inoue & Kimura, 2004;Jingyong et al, 2005;Kalnay & Cai, 2003;Kishtawal et al, 2010;Li et al, 2014Li et al, , 2015Li et al, , 2016Liao et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2007;Lo et al, 2007;Niyogi et al, 2011;Shem & Shepherd, 2009;Shi et al, 2008;Sun et al, 2016;Tayanc & Toros, 1997;Wang et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2011;Zhou et al, 2004), the resultant annual and seasonal impacts on pollutant levels and atmospheric response to emissions have yet to be fully understood. A study conducted simulations to assess the urbanization effect on climate and air quality over eastern China in July from 2008 to 2012.…”
