Abstract. Although the temporal changes in aerosol properties have been
widely investigated, the majority of studies has focused on average conditions without
much emphasis on the extremes. However, the latter can be more important in
terms of human health and climate change. This study uses a previously
validated, quality-controlled visibility dataset to investigate the long-term
trends (expressed in terms of relative changes) in extreme surface aerosol
extinction coefficient (AEC) over China and compares them with the median
trends. Two methods are used to independently evaluate the trends, which
arrive at consistent results. The signs of extreme and median trends are
generally coherent, whereas their magnitudes show distinct spatial and
temporal differences. In the 1980s, an overall positive trend is found
throughout China with the extreme trend exceeding the mean trend, except for
northwest China and the North China Plain. In the 1990s, AEC over northeast
and northwest China started to decline while the rest of the country still
exhibited an increase. The extreme trends continued to dominate in the south
while they yielded to the mean trend in the north. After the year 2000, the extreme
trend became weaker than the mean trend overall in terms of both the
magnitude and significance level. The annual trend can be primarily
attributed to winter and fall trends. The results suggest that the decadal
changes in pollution in China may be governed by different mechanisms.
Synoptic conditions that often result in extreme air quality changes might
have dominated in the 1980s, whereas emission increase might have been the
main factor for the 2000s.
