“…Among others, the increases in aerosol concentrations were accompanied by high relative humidity (RH) conditions, where enhanced hygroscopic growth and multiphase reactions facilitated the increases in particle size and mass (Miao, Guo, Liu, Liu, Zhang, et al, ; Tie et al, ; Zhong et al, ). High‐pressure systems were revealed to significantly prevent the diffusion of atmospheric pollutants, causing severe haze pollution (Chen et al, ; Leng et al, ; Wu et al, ; Yang et al, ; Zhang et al, ). In addition, the dynamic and thermodynamic features of the PBL can be substantially modified by aerosols, which tends to stabilize or invigorate the PBL depending on the aerosol types or the altitudes where aerosol particles aloft reside (Barbaro et al, ; Talukdar et al, ; Wilcox et al, ).…”
