In JGR: Atmospheres, scientists find that multiple interacting factors—declining aerosols, extreme heat and drought, widespread afforestation, and changes in vegetation uptake—are jointly driving more frequent and intense ozone events in the North China Plain.

Firefighters on Monday battled a large wildfire heading towards a remote western Canadian town as winds and tinder dry conditions threatened to spread the flames further, a provincial minister said. https://t.co/X6oKteLkLa https://t.co/X6oKteLkLa
This powerful model better represents rainfall, drought, #DustStorm, and severe air pollution events in diverse US air basins, including California’s Central Valley. We spent years building this model! Read more https://t.co/gJAdraTuTt
NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory has developed a new variable-resolution global chemistry-climate model for research at the nexus of U.S. climate and air quality extremes.

@theAGU@AGU_Eos@NOAA Excited to see our work being featured as an Editor’s Highlight @theAGU. Over the past three years, I led a team of highly talented scientists @NOAA to develop this novel model for research in US #climate and #AirQuality extremes. Well done Team!
Soot, known scientifically as PM2.5 pollution, causes about 4 million premature deaths annually, including 50,000 in the U.S. A new study says Western wildfires will add to that burden.

@_nadineunger @EmbersonL Thank you! While our study focused on Europe, the findings have broad implications. Substantial reductions in ozone removal by vegetation also occurred during North America's historic heat wave and drought of 2012. Read more: https://t.co/b0pdHYAOE7
@Princeton As events like the 2003 European mega-drought are projected to become twice as frequent over the coming decades, effective emissions policy in Europe must consider the ozone climate penalty of plants. Read more: https://t.co/XsigVfHlzT
