Effect of large topography on atmospheric environment in Sichuan Basin: A climate analysis based on changes in atmospheric visibility

Using 51 years (1960–2010) of observations from meteorological stations in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, including atmospheric visibility as a proxy for aerosol concentration, relative humidity, air temperature, wind speed and FNL reanalysis data (1°×1°) of air temperature, pressure and wind, and the altitude of each station, a linear trend a
