Investigation of the Influence of Water Vapor on Heavy Pollution and Its Relationship With AOD Using MAX‐DOAS on the Coast of the Yellow Sea

Abstract

Water vapor is an important greenhouse gas and an active participant in tropospheric chemistry through its interaction with trace gases and aerosols (Wagner et al., 2012). Aerosols in the atmosphere directly absorb and scatter solar radiation, and indirectly affect cloud formation, thus having a significant impact on Earth's radiation balance and climate (Zhang et al., 2018). In recent years, heavy haze pollution has
