成都一次重污染过程的气溶胶光学特性垂直分布

利用微脉冲激光雷达观测数据、PM_(2.5)浓度数据、地面气象观测资料和探空数据对成都2017年1月1—6日连续出现的重污染过程进行分析研究。结果表明:激光雷达反演的消光系数演变与PM_(2.5)浓度值变化对应一致,PM_(2.5)浓度升高,近地面消光系数增大;反之,则近地面消光系数减小。对于此次过程,在无冷空气影响时,混合层高度和相对湿度的日变化对消光系数廓线有明显影响,混合层高度降低,大气环境容量减小,相对湿度增加,气溶胶吸湿增长,消光系数增大,地面污染加重。天空状况对气溶胶垂直分布影响显著,晴天或多云天气,早晨强逆温使得水汽和大量气溶胶集中在逆温层顶以下区域,地面污染严重;中午混合层发展,使得混合层内的气溶胶均匀混合,气溶胶层变厚,近地面消光系数显著减小,地面污染减轻。在前一日为晴天或多云天气,当天为阴天时,早上气溶胶明显分为两层,一层在近地面,另一层在残留层顶附近;中午由于垂直湍流增强,一部分残留层气溶胶向下混合至混合层内,使得混合层内的气溶胶粒子增多,地面污染加重,消光系数明显增加。近地面强逆温层、混合层高度降低、残留层气溶胶向下混合、相对湿度增加均是导致地面污染加重的原因。

成都夏季气溶胶消光特性研究

本文利用成都2017年6~8月的米散射微脉冲激光雷达观测数据,对成都夏季气溶胶消光系数、边界层高度以及气溶胶光学厚度进行了反演,并结合太阳光度计观测资料、地面颗粒物浓度以及大气能见度数据研究了气溶胶消光系数日变化与月变化规律,气溶胶消光系数的垂直分布特征及影响因素。结果表明:气溶胶消光系数的日变化受人类活动以及边界层日变化影响显著,表现出凌晨与傍晚最大,早晨次之,午后最小的特征。消光高值出现在200m以下和300~700m的高度区间,夜间观察到的消光高值可能与颗粒物在夜间近地面浓度较高以及本地夜间降水频发有关。激光雷达反演的消光系数与光度计反演的气溶胶光学厚度在夏季各月的表现一致,夏季各月消光极值均出现在100~150m的近地面层。近地面消光系数与地面颗粒物浓度之间具有较好的正相关,并且粒子粒径更小时相关性更好。气溶胶光学厚度主要来自低层大气的贡献,0.1~0.2μm的细粒子气溶胶占比对于大气消光有主要影响,但气溶胶对大气的消光影响除了与粒子浓度有关,还与粒子的理化性质有关。

降水现象对大气消光系数和能见度的影响

大气中各种粒子对大气消光系数和能见度有不同程度影响,除气溶胶粒子外,降水粒子对能见度影响也不可忽视。为了解降水粒子对能见度的影响,确定能见度变化与降水现象之间的关系,该文在分析降水粒子的大小、速度、形状、谱分布、光学特性等特征的基础上,忽略气溶胶粒子的影响,建立基于实测谱分布的降水与能见度的理论模型,讨论不同类型降雨、降雪对大气消光系数和能见度的影响。同时选取Parsivel降水粒子谱仪在南京地区的降雨和降雪观测记录,利用实测数据来对比验证本文所建立的降水-能见度理论模型。结果表明:能见度随着降水强度的增大呈指数降低;受降水粒子特性和天气条件等多种因素影响,能见度与降水强度之间的关系并不是唯一对应的;降雨和降雪对能见度的影响各不相同,相比而言,降雨对能见度的影响比较容易确定,而降雪对能见度的影响比较复杂,主要因为雪花或冰晶的类型复杂多变,对大气消光系数有不同程度的影响。结合理论分析和实测数据对比验证,降水现象对能见度的影响得到了证实。

A New Method for Aerosol Retrieval Based on Lidar Observations in Beijing

Lidar has been used extensively in the area of atmospheric aerosol measurement. Two unknowns at the reference altitude, the lidar ratio and the backscatter coefficient, need to be resolved from the lidar equation. In the actual application, these two values are difficult to obtain, particularly the backscatter coefficient. To better characterize the optical properties of aerosols, optical thickness, and attenuated backscatter obtained by other instruments are usually used as the input for joint inversion. However, this method is limited by location and time. In this study, the authors propose a new method for aerosol retrieval by using Mie scatter- ing lidar data to solve this problem. The authors take the horizontal aerosol extinction coefficient as the con- straint to begin the iteration until a self-consistent aerosol vertical profile was obtained. By comparing their results with Aerosol Robotic Network （AERONET） data, the authours determine that the aerosol extinction coefficient obtained by combining horizontal and vertical lidar observations is more pre- cise than that obtained by using the traditional Fernald method. This new method has been adopted for re- trieving the extinction coefficient of aerosols during the observation days.

Long‐term variations in the turbidity of the arctic atmosphere in Russia

Abstract

Temporal variations of the transmission coefficient and aerosol optical depth of the atmosphere are considered using multi‐year observations at the Soviet polar stations in the Arctic. The contribution of atmospheric aerosol to the total extinction of solar radiation is estimated. A decreasing trend of atmospheric transparency due to the increase of aerosol contributing to the extinction of solar radiation during the last 25–30 years is noted. Estimates of the atmospheric aerosol influence on the incoming solar radiation indicate that a further systematic decrease of the transmission coefficient may lead to climatic changes of direct and total radiation in most polluted areas of the Arctic.     

Estimation of the Aerosol Radiative Effect over the Tibetan Plateau Based on the Latest CALIPSO Product

Based on the CALIPSO (Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) Version 4.10 products released on 8 November 2016, the Level 2 (L2) aerosol product over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is evaluated and the aerosol radiative effect is also estimated in this study. As there are still some missing aerosol data points in the daytime CALIPSO Version 4.10 L2 product, this study re-calculated the aerosol extinction coefficient to explore the aerosol radiative effect over the TP based on the CALIPSO Level 1 (L1) and CloudSat 2B-CLDCLASS-LIDAR products. The energy budget estimation obtained by using the AODs (aerosol optical depths) from calculated aerosol extinction coefficient as an input to a radiative transfer model shows better agreement with the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) and CloudSat 2B-FLXHR-LIDAR observations than that with the input of AODs from aerosol extinction coefficient from CALIPSO Version 4.10 L2 product. The radiative effect and heating rate of aerosols over the TP are further simulated by using the calculated aerosol extinction coefficient. The dust aerosols may heat the atmosphere by retaining the energy in the layer. The instantaneous heating rate can be as high as 5.5 K day^–1 depending on the density of the dust layers. Overall, the dust aerosols significantly affect the radiative energy budget and thermodynamic structure of the air over the TP, mainly by altering the shortwave radiation budget. The significant influence of dust aerosols over the TP on the radiation budget may have important implications for investigating the atmospheric circulation and future regional and global climate.     

An Empirical Method for Estimating Background Stratospheric Aerosol Extinction Profiles over China

The current paper introduces an empirical method for estimating the vertical distribution of background stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles covering the latitude bands of 50±5°N,40±5°N,30±5°N,and 20±5°N and the longitude range of 75 135°E based on Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II aerosol extinction measurements at wavelengths of 1020 nm,525 nm,452 nm,and 386 nm for the volcanically calm years between 1998 2004.With this method,the vertical distribution of stratospheric aerosol extinction coefficients can be estimated according to latitude and wavelength.Comparisons of the empirically calculated aerosol extinction profiles and the SAGE II aerosol measurements show that the empirically calculated aerosol extinction coefficients are consistent with SAGE II values,with relative differences within 10% from 2 km above the tropopause to 33 km,and within 22% from 33 km to 35 km.The empirically calculated aerosol stratospheric optical depths (vertically integrated aerosol extinction coefficient) at the four wavelengths are also consistent with the corresponding SAGE II optical depth measurements,with differences within 2.2% in the altitude range from 2 km above the tropopause to 35 km.     

Optical growth of highly viscous organic/sulfate particles

Light extinction by atmospheric particles is strongly dependent on their chemical composition and water content. Since light extinction directly impacts climate, optical measurements of atmospherically relevant aerosols at varying relative humidities (RH) are needed. Recent studies have highlighted the possibility that some atmospheric aerosols are glassy under ambient conditions. Here, the particle optical growth factor, fRH_ext, was measured for liquid and glassy particles using cavity ring-down aerosol extinction spectroscopy. The particles were composed of ammonium sulfate (AS), 1,2,6-hexanetriol, sucrose, raffinose, and mixed particles containing AS and either sucrose or raffinose. Both sucrose and raffinose can be glassy at room temperature. For the pure organics, the highly viscous sucrose and raffinose particles have similar optical growth curves to the liquid 1,2,6 hexanetriol particles. However, for particles composed of sucrose or raffinose mixed with AS, optical growth depends on the AS weight-percent, which in turn controls the phase state of the AS and ultimately the water uptake.     

参数化的多次散射激光雷达方程和它的反演理论 Ⅰ:方程

本文提出了一个参数化的多次散射激光雷达方程,该方程基于本文引出的四个因子,即几何消光因子、消光分布因子、前向散射因子和后向散射因子.前两个因子表征多次散射成分对大气消光系数分布、激光的发散角和接收视场角以及接收孔径的依赖关系,后两个因子表征多次散射成分对散射相函数的依赖关系.这个参数化多次散射雷达方程在241个数值试验中得以检验,这些试验包含很宽的大气条件和雷达几何参数,包括14个大气散射相函数,均匀和不均匀的大气消光系数分布,0.5至1之间变化的一次散射反照率,地基和空间站激光雷达两种情形.数值试验表明,在小于4的光学厚度内参数化的解和Monte-Carlo解之间的标准偏差小于27％,而本模式的计算时间比Monte-Carlo方法偏小4个数量级左右.本模式不仅适合于研究多次散射对激光回波信号和激光大气遥感的效应,而且对于考虑多次散射的激光大气探测而言,是一个合适的应用模式.

Lidar and Sun photometer observations of atmospheric boundary-layer characteristics over an urban area in a mountain valley

We present measurements of the vertical aerosol structure and the aerosol optical depth in the lower troposphere performed above the city of Sofia (an urban area situated in a mountain valley), western Bulgaria by means of a ground-based aerosol lidar operating continuously for a number of years. The lidar measurements were accompanied by measurements of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) in the visible and near infrared regions of the spectrum performed in October 2004 using Microtops II radiometers. The maximum values of the AOD were found to occur 1–2 h before the complete development of the atmospheric boundary layer, i.e. during the residual layer destruction, which confirms our hypothesis concerning the slope circulation effect on the processes taking place in the atmospheric boundary layer. The AOD values obtained by the lidar are lower than those taken by the sun photometer. Further, the AOD exhibits two different types of behaviour. In the case of a ‘clear atmosphere’ (i.e. in the absence of volcanic eruptions and/or dust transport from the Sahara) most of the aerosol accumulated within the atmospheric boundary layer over the urban area considered. The combined use of the two instruments allows the comparison between the optical characteristics of the atmospheric aerosol (e.g. aerosol extinction coefficient, etc.) obtained by the lidar and through an independent method (sun photometer).
