The following Editorial Board was established by the Network Center for the EANET to publish the EANET Science Bulletin (Vol.5): Editorial Board Erdenebat Eldev-Ochir (Deputy Director General) – Chair Jiro Sato (Senior Fellow) – Secretary Hiroshi Fujita (Deputy Director General) Ken Yamashita (Head of Planning and Training Department) Hiroaki Minoura (Head of Atmospheric Research Department) Keiichi Sato (Principle Senior Researcher of Atmospheric Research Department) Hiroyuki Sase (Head of Ecological Impact Research Department) Tsuyoshi Ohizumi (Head of Data Management Department) Jun-ichi Kurokawa (Chief Senior Researcher of Data Management Department) Adviser Shiro Hatakeyama (Director General) Preface The EANET Science Bulletin (Volume 5) This is Volume 5 of the EANET Science Bulletin. The Bulletin is published to share the scientific findings from the research activities within EANET and to provide a platform for scientists from participating countries to publish their scientific and technical research results relevant to the EANET activities. This volume is comprised of the Reports of the EANET Fellowship Program (2016- 2018), Joint Projects of the EANET with Participating Countries, as well as Scientific and Technological Research Papers from Participating Countries. This Science Bulletin follows the Medium Term Plan (MTP) for the EANET (2016-2020) that was adopted at the Seventeenth Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting (IG17) on the EANET in 2015. The Bulletin would contribute to a better understanding of the state of acid deposition with atmospheric pollutants and their impacts on the environment in East Asia. It can also contribute to promoting research activities on atmospheric transport modeling as well as to improve capacity building for tackling various air pollution issues such as Ozone/PM2.5 problems in participating countries. Quality assured/quality controlled monitoring data and research results utilizing such data are very important and useful to assist policy makers in planning air pollution control and mitigation measures by improving the scientific and technical knowledge in not only each participating country but also in whole East Asia. I hereby express my sincere appreciation to all authors of the research papers and the members of the Editorial Board for this Bulletin. I look forward to their continuous cooperation and concern for the EANET activities.

In this regard, EANET encourages participating countries to conduct research on the state of acid deposition and publish it in the Science Bulletin. The Science Bulletin (Vol.5) includes reports of the EANET research fellowship program (2016-2018), joint projects of the EANET with the participating countries, scientific and technological research papers from participating countries and technical notes. The articles only represent opinion of authors. 1 Reports of the EANET Research Fellowship Program (2016-2018) The EANET Science Bulletin (Volume 5) is issued once every three years in line with the Medium Term Plan (2016-2020) approved at the Seventeenth Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting (IG17) of the EANET which was held in Bangkok, Thailand, 2015. Therefore, the research reports of the EANET Fellowship Research Program for 2016- 2018 are included in this Bulletin. 3 Comparison of observed and modeled NO2 in China during the summer, 2013-2015: sensitivity of meteorological conditions and NOX emission constrains Cuihong Chen1)*, Jun-ichi Kurokawa2), Hiroaki Minoura2), Qing Li1), Huiqin Mao1) 1 )* Satellite Environment Center, Ministry of Environmental Protection, State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory, Beijing, 100094, China, Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 ) Asia Center for Air Pollution Research, 1182 Sowa, Nishi-ku, Niigata 950-2144, Japan Abstract The causes of inter-annual variation of tropospheric NO2 vertical column densities (VCDs) observed by satellite over China during summer time (June, July, and August) from 2013 to 2015 were investigated with the aid of chemical transport model in this study. For the purpose, the modeling system was developed and validated. We validated the modeled tropospheric NO2 VCDs with OMI retrievals for the summer time of the year 2013 that model simulations reproduced
