On Oct 11th, Haoyu’s paper entitled ‘Regional Monitoring of Biomass Burning using Passive Air Sampling Technique Reveals the Importance of MODIS Unresolved Fires ‘ was accepted by Environment International (EI) for publication. The field venue of the study was in the Indo-China peninsular (the ICP，中南半岛). Congratulations!
On Oct 10th, a small group of us went to the Heshan air monitoring supersite, to setup air sampling machines on the rooftop of the station building. This denotes that the field sampling campaign is on action, of which the objectives are to monitor and estimate the emissions of various pollutants (POM, POPs) and CO2 etc from the PRD city cluster, by means of down-wind observations and modeling. The name of the campaign, Wind-in-his-air (风中散发-Emission in the wind), is adapted from the name of an Indigenous Indian in the Oscar Academy-winning movie ‘Dances with Wolves’ (与狼共舞）. The campaign is led by Shizhen, joined by Li Jing (modelling), Yao Chuxin (POM), Li Pingyang (CO2), and many of the Air-Omics squad members. Occasionally, the wind field shifted to NNE from SE on the day, which is a sign of success.
Near-ground NNE wind started right on the day.

On Sept 24, former group members Cheng Hairong and Jiang Yishan joined with Luo Chunling, Li Jibing, Jiang Longfei, Xu Buqing and Guan Guoqing who are attending a soil meeting in Wuhan. Memorial moment and nice picture!
PS: Occasionally, a group of four also gathered, at the same time, but in Guangzhou, after a meeting!
