On the effect of the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol particles on nucleation scavenging and the formation of a cloud interstitial aerosol

Nucleation scavenging and the formation of a cloud interstitial aerosol (CIA) were theoretically studied in terms of the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol particles. For this study, we used our air-parcel cloud model, which includes the entrainment of air and detailed microphysics, for determining the growth and interaction of aerosol particles and drops. Maritime and remote continental aerosol particle spectrums were used whose size distributions were superpositions of three log-normal distributions, each of a prescribed chemical composition. Our results show (1) that the CIA exhibits a size distribution with a distinctive cut-off at a specific radius of the dry as well as of the wet particle size distribution. All particles above this limiting size become activated to cloud drops and, thus, are not present in the CIA spectrum. This limiting size was found to be independent of the chemical composition of the particles and only dependent on the prevailing supersaturation. Below this specific size, the CIA spectrum becomes depleted of dry aerosol particles in a manner which does depend on their chemical composition and on the supersaturation in the air. (2) The number of aerosol particles nucleated to cloud drops depends critically on the chemical composition of the particles and on the prevailing supersaturation.

The characterization and distribution of aerosol and gaseous species in the winter monsoon over the western pacific ocean

During the winters of 1981 and 1982, measurements were taken on two Japanese islands of the aerosol and gaseous species which had been carried by northwesterly monsoons over the Pacific Ocean. The aerosols were characterized as sea-salt particles; soil particles, and as particles of sulfate, nitrate, organics and elemental carbon. At Chichi-jima island, which is about 800 km away from the main islands of Japan, it was found that the level of the anthropogenic components of the aerosols was considerably higher than their background level. The mean concentrations of the species on the islands are given in tabular forms. According to a survey made on board a ferry boat, the aerosol and gaseous species were fairly uniformly distributed along the southern coast of the main Japanese islands.     

基于太湖地区MFRSR遥感大气气溶胶光学特性和大气污染状况

利用2008年5月16日至2009年4月17日太湖地区多光谱旋转遮光辐射仪（multi—filter ro—tating shadow—band radiometer,简称MFRSR）的观测资料进行反演,得出415、500、615、675和870nm5个波段大气气溶胶光学厚度（aerosol optical depth,简称AOD）及各季节浑浊度系数和波长指数的统计结果。结果表明,5个波段AOD的最大值分别为1．9、1．6、1．3、1．2和1．0;它们谱分布的半宽度分别为0．90、0．70、0．55、0．45和0．25;AOD频率分布极大值处所对应的AOD值分别为0．750、0．550、0．475、0．425和0．425。5个波段AOD的平均值在春季最大,夏季次之,除870nm外,均为冬季最小。浑浊度系数变化范围为0～1．25,其中大于0．2的占97％以上,大于0．4的占66％以上。春季、夏季、秋季和冬季的波长指数变化范围分别为0～3．0、0～2．8、0．2～2．0和0．2～2．0,表明太湖地区大气污染较为严重,且受人为源的影响显著。相对于秋冬季,春夏季有较大粒径的气溶胶粒子存在。

Interpretation of Mauna Loa atmospheric transmission relative to aerosols,using photometric precipitable water amouts

Precipitable water measurements made coincident in time and space with direct broadband solar irradiance measurements are used in conjunction with an atmospheric transmission model to derive a parameter whose major dependence is on total aerosol extinction. Irradiance measurements are used to calculate an atmospheric transmission factor (ATF) that is independent of the instrument calibration and the extraterrestrial solar constant. The dependency of the ATF on precipitable water is determined using LOWTRAN5, an atmospheric transmission model with high spectral resolution. Precipitable water measurements are then used to adjust the measured ATF to correspond to an ATF value obtained for a constant precipitable water amount. The remaining variability in the adjusted ATF is due mostly to aerosol extinction. The technique is applied to a 6-year period (1978–1983) for clear-sky mornings at Mauna Loa, Hawaii (MLO). MLO ATF aerosol residuals are compared with independently measured monochromatic aerosol optical depth. Results show that the ATF aerosol residual is nearly equal to the 500 nm aerosol optical depth prior to the eruption of E1 Chichon, at which time a nonlinear time-dependent relationship between the two quantities is evident. ATF aerosol residuals reflect the spectrally integrated aerosol influence on transmission and, therefore, could indicate better than monochromatic optical depth the radiation balance perturbations due to aerosols. The 6-year precipitable water record for MLO, determined from a dual-channel sunphotometer, has a mean value of 0.3 cm. An annual cycle in precipitable water is evident, as is a 4-month 5-standard-deviation drought from December 1982 through March 1983.     

华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度的气候特征及其与气溶胶的联系

利用1979-2008年夏季（6—8月）逐日NCEP／NACR再分析资料、MODIS卫星的气溶胶资料等,研究了华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度的气候特征与年际变化,分析了大气稳定度和相应的加热场与气溶胶光学厚度（aerosol optical depth,AOD）的联系。结果表明：华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度在空间上分布不均匀,时间上具有明显的年际变化。边界层中的非绝热加热率、大气稳定度及气溶胶光学厚度三者之间可能存在密切联系。利用经验正交函数分析了华东区域总体理查森数Rib的距平场,得到了边界层稳定度分布的3个主要模态,这3个模态所代表的边界层大气稳定度异常与夏季风环流异常密切相关,特别是P-J型遥相关波列和西太平洋副热带高压在中国东部大气边界层稳定度变化中可能起着非常重要的作用。     

横断山脉地区大气环流演变特征分析

应用Lamb-Jenkinson大气环流分型方法对横断山脉地区的8个经度×10个纬度范围内1948-2012年逐日平均的海平面气压场进行环流分型,由日平均海平面气压场算出6个环流指数（u、v、V、ξu、ξv、ξ）,并由此划分出27种不同的环流型。分型结果表明：横断山脉地区主要环流分型为E型、NE型、SE型、N型和C型,其频率分别为：21.4%、14.6%、13.7%、9.8%和9.5%;E和NE型环流频率逐渐增加,C型环流型频率逐渐减少。春季横断山脉地区主导环流比较繁琐;NE、N型为夏季的主要环流型,但E型环流在夏季的频率也相当大;秋季和冬季横断山脉地区的主导环流型都为E型和SE型。夏季主导环流型持续时间较长,冬季也是主导环流持续的时间较长,个别年份主导环流型持续时间超过了一个月,这主要与横断山脉地区复杂的地形有联系。     

中国北方地区冬季雨雪年度变化与大气气溶胶分布特征研究

近年来,随着大气观测技术的快速发展,为冬季大雪年际变化研究提供了一些新的观测事实,增加了新的认识。认为大气环流对降雪的年际变化的影响只是重要方面之一。新的观测事实启示研究者,冬雪的年际变化和差异还可能与其他影响气候变化有更为复杂的因素——大气气溶胶特征有关。基于1980-2008年中国气象台站降水量资料和1980-2005年北方地区大气气溶胶光学厚度（AOD）资料,研究中国北方地区大范围多雨雪以及少雨雪年度变化与大气气溶胶分布特征的关系。结果表明：1980-2008年,中国北方地区典型的多雨雪年为1980、1984、1989、1993、1998、2003年和2006年;少雨雪年为1982-1983、1985-1988、1997、2001年和2005年。根据1980-2005年华北逐年冬半年雨雪总量与北方地区同期AOD相关分析,揭示中国北方地区雨雪年度变化与气溶胶光学厚度（AOD_550m）的年度变化存在正相关,相关系数达到0．001的显著性水平。同期资料AOD。。。分析表明,中国北方地区冬季多雨雪与少雨年大气气溶胶光学厚度差异显著,多雨雪年大气气溶胶光学厚度显著偏厚,中国华北北部、东北南部地区AOD正距平的平均值达到1×10。-5×10^-3,冬季北方地区少雨雪年与此差异显著,AOD为显著负距平,其平均值为-5×10^-3。

多套大气再分析资料的南亚高压强度变化特征及其与海表温度异常关系的比较分析

以往的研究中多采用NCE/NCAR再分析资料来讨论南亚高压的变化特征及其与海表温度的关系,鉴于其分析结果具有一定的片面性,本文采用ERA40、ERA—Interim、NCEWNCAR、NCEP—DOE和JRA．25五套再分析资料,以及应用全球、热带印度洋和热带大西洋1978--2008年逐月观测海表温度分别驱动NCARCAM5．1全球大气环流模式的数值模拟结果,比较了它们的夏季南亚高压强度变化特征及其与海表温度的关系。再分析资料问的比较结果表明,NCEWNCAR、NCEP—DOE两套再分析资料与ERA40、ERA—Interim、JRA-25三套再分析资料的南亚高压强度变化在20世纪70年代末至90年代初存在非常明显的差异,前两套再分析资料揭示的该时段南亚高压强度显著偏高,可能是不真实的,进而导致南亚高压强度与海表温度异常的关系与后三套再分析资料的结果差异明显。ERA40、ERA—Interim和JRA-25三套再分析资料和数值试验结果均表明,20世纪70年代末以后,夏季南亚高压强度异常与前期冬季、春季及同期夏季的热带印度洋海表温度异常关系持续密切,表明热带印度洋是影响夏季南亚高压强度变化的关键海区。当热带印度洋偏暖时,热带地区对流层温度增暖,南亚高压强度增强、面积增大、南扩、东伸西展,反之亦然。     

Quadrant analysis of the scalar and momentum fluxes in the stable marine atmospheric surface layer

The quadrant technique, a conditional sampling approach that allocates Reynolds stresses into four different types of events (ejections or bursts, sweeps, inward interactions and outward interactions), is applied to stable marine atmospheric boundary-layer data, collected in the framework of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air—Sea Transfer, Low wind component experiment at Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, USA. The general properties of both scalar and momentum transport are analyzed under the scope of quadrant analysis experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that the third-order Gram–Charlier series is necessary and even sufficient in most of the cases, in describing the experimental time and flux contributions of each quadrant to the total transfer, for both scalar and momentum transport, while the ability of the Gaussian distribution is limited to outlining the general pattern of these quantities. Moreover, a threshold value is applied to the conditional analysis, separating the most important events from the less significant ones and the sensitivity of the flux and especially the time fraction of each quadrant on the choice of this value is presented and discussed. Also, a set of numerically extracted equations, completing the analytical relations, is derived, enabling the prediction of the time and flux fractions of each quadrant, for a wide range of correlation coefficient and threshold values. Finally, the sensitivity of the analysis to the atmospheric stability and the Reynolds averaging scales showed that correlated and uncorrelated motions tend to balance for increasingly stable conditions and/or for large time scales.     

华北春季降水及其与前期印度洋海温的关系

利用华北17站1951-2002年春季（3-5月）逐月降水资料和NOAA再分析海表温度资料，研究了华北地区春季降水特征及其与海温的关系。得知华北春季降水偏少年出现频次比偏多年频次高，但是年际变化明显，强度没有偏多年严重。华北地区春季降水有一定的年代际变化和周期性，降水周期在20世纪70年代中期以前为4-6a，在70年代中期以后为6-8a。同时用相关分析方法找出了影响华北地区春季降水的海温关键区为印度洋，发现印度洋在前一年11月到当年1月存在一个相关系数较高海区。用SVD方法证实了前期冬季印度洋海温正是与华北春季降水相关最显著的时段和地区。并用合成分析初步得到印度洋海温异常强迫影响大气环流，并通过遥相关影响华北地区降水。

两种四维奇异值分解同化方法的比较及误差分析

4DSVD是最近提出的一种新的资料同化方法。目前还存在一些需要解决的问题,比如如何选取样本,如何得到支撑大气吸引子的基向量以及选取基向量的个数问题等等。作者利用奇异值分解(SVD)与经验正交函数分解(EOF)两种方法来获得支撑大气吸引子的基向量,推导了基于这两种方法的4DSVD分析场的理论公式,并用简单的数值试验比较了基于这两种方法的4DSVD分析场的空间相关系数和误差,初步分析了分析场与基向量个数的关系以及与样本选取的关系和分析误差的来源及各种误差对分析误差影响的相对大小。结果表明,用SVD方法作为获得支撑大气吸引子基向量的方法得到的分析场较EOF方法稳定,分析场与基向量个数有密切关系,观测误差、模式误差和观测代表性误差是分析误差的主要来源,且其引起的分析误差随着基向量个数增多而增大。     

Airborne and lidar measurements of aerosol and cloud particles in the troposphere over Alert Canada in April 1986

As a component of the Canadian Arctic Haze Study, held coincident with the second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP II), vertical profiles of aerosol size distribution (0.17 m), light scattering parameters and cloud particle concentrations were obtained with an instrumented aircraft and ground-based lidar system during April 1986 at Alert. Northwest Territories. Average aerosol number concentrations range from about 200 cm^–3 over the Arctic ice cap to about 100 cm^–3 at 6 km. The aerosol size spectrum is virtually free of giant or coarse aerosol particles, and does not vary significantly with altitude. Most of the aerosol volume is concentrated in the 0.17–0.50 m size range, and the aerosol number concentration is found to be a good surrogate for the SO₄ ⁼ concentration of the Arctic haze aerosol. Comparison of the aircraft and lidar data show that, when iced crystal scattering is excluded, the aerosol light scattering coefficient and the lidar backscattering coefficient are proportional to the Arctic haze aerosol concentration. Ratios of scattering to backscattering, scattering to aerosol number concentration, and backscattering to aerosol number concentration are 15.3 steradians, 1.1×10^–13 m², and 4.8×10^–15 m² sr^–1, respectively. Aerosol scattering coefficients calculated from the measured size distributions using Mie scattering agree well with measured values. The calculations indicate the aerosol absorption optical depth over 6 km to range between 0.011 and 0.018. The presence of small numbers of ice crystals (10–20 crystals 1^–1 measured) increased light scattering by over a factor of ten.     

Dimethylsulfide oxidation and the ratio of methanesulfonate to non sea-salt sulfate in the marine aerosol

A box model of DMS oxidation in the clean, low-NO _x marine atmospheric boundary layer has been used to predict the latitude dependence of the aerosol methanesulfonate to non sea-salt sulfate ratio. The observed latitude dependence of this ratio in the Southern Hemisphere can be reproduced reasonably well if the full suite of reactions proposed by Yin et al. (1990a) is employed, and a strong temperature dependence is specified in the rates of decomposition of CH₃SO₂ and CH₃SO₃ radicals.

随着城市化和工业化进程的加快,南京城市热岛效应显著,细颗粒物污染加剧,对大气环境、气候变化和人体健康产生重要影响.本文基于观测资料,分析了南京市不同颗粒物浓度水平下城市热岛强度的变化特征;利用光学特性模型OPAC（optical properties of aerosols and clouds model）和辐射传输模型TUV（troposphere ultraviolet-visible model）估计了气溶胶的光学厚度及辐射强迫;定量分析了细颗粒物对城市热岛强度的影响及其可能机制.结果表明：南京城市热岛强度范围为-0.51.3K,冬季强于夏季.细颗粒物质量浓度范围为32 135 μg/m3,冬季高于夏季,城区和郊区差别不大;当大气中细颗粒物质量浓度较高时,城市热岛强度相对较弱;南京城郊气溶胶光学厚度变化范围为0.28 1.01,在地面产生的辐射强迫达-3.88-4.72 W＆#183;m-2;由于城区和郊区下垫面、人为热、细颗粒物浓度水平的差异,造成城郊近地面降温的不同,导致细颗粒物对城市热岛强度的削弱,夏季减弱0.1K,冬季减弱0.2K.     

Concentrations of atmospheric constituents observed at Alert,Canada, in relation to air trajectories and synoptic systems

A meteorological analysis is presented for environmental data set obtained from the Canadian Arctic haze study, which is part of AGASP-II. Results of the study indicated that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), sulphate (SO₄ ⁼), ozone (O₃) and other air pollutants observed at Alert, N.W.T. underwent periodical fluctuations. It was found that high concentrations of these atmospheric constituents were associated with a deep (1430–2074 m) inversion and with a major anticyclone. In contrast, relatively low values of these constituents were associated with a cyclonic disturbance near Alert. High concentrations of these constituents occurred with air trajectories coming from the N-W direction, while low values occurred with S trajectories. In addition, examinations of satellite imagery with other meteorological data suggested that volcanic inputs of ash and gases from Augustine Island, Alaska were negligible for the observed high values of these constituents at the ground level at Alert.     

Investigation of statistical structure of temperature short-range forecast errors in the atmospheric boundary layer for the purpose of objective analysis

The procedure is described of the estimation of statistical structure of short-range forecast errors of temperature field in the atmospheric boundary layer for the purpose of objective analysis. The numerical experiments on the estimation of forecast error covariances were carried out for the WRF (Weather Research and Forecast, NCEP, USA) model. The comparative experiments were implemented on the estimation of the influence of stability type in the atmospheric boundary layer on the variability of vertical and three-dimensional covariances. It is demonstrated that the variance and radius of correlation of temperature field forecast errors along the vertical as well as the variability of three-dimensional covariance functions in the atmospheric boundary layer differ considerably at different stability types. The results are cited of the numerical experiments on the estimation of the WRF model temperature field forecast error covariances in the atmospheric boundary layer for summer and winter periods.
