昆明地面生物有效紫外辐照度的初步计算

近年来，大气平流层臭氧含量普遍呈下降趋势。这将对人类的生存环境构成极大威胁， 应当引起人们的高度重视。 其中，太阳紫外辐射是一大因素。 太阳紫外光（ UVB和UVA，尤其是波长为280～320 nm）对动植物生长及人类健康具有重要的生物学效应 。但太阳光在大气中的传输过程极其复杂，涉及到大气臭氧吸收、空气分子散射、 气溶胶颗粒以及云滴的散射等作用。 针对昆明地处低纬高原、季风云系影响显著等特点 ， 本文在同时考虑上述几种情况下， 用二流模式（two-stream model）方法对太阳紫外辐射传输问题进行了研究，得出了一些有意义的计算结果，并对其作了讨论。     

紫外辐射传输模式计算与实际测量的比较

利用改进的离散坐标法紫外辐射传输模式,应用各种可测得的实际大气物理参数,模拟了1993年7月24日德国加尔米希-帕特科琛（Garmisch-Partenkirchen,47.47oN, 11.07oE）地面紫外辐射的全天分布,并与1993年秋天第三次欧洲紫外辐射光谱仪比对活动期间通过了严格绝对标定的奥地利英斯布鲁克（Innsbruck）大学的紫外光谱仪的实际观测资料进行了比较,进行了余弦响应订正后,计算与测量的绝对值差别很小,最大误差对地面UVB通量（280～320 nm）是0.07 W/m2（正午的通量为3.2 W/m2）。对UVA（320～400 nm）最大误差是2.6 W/m2（正午通量为54 W/m2）。计算与测量的平均偏差为5%～13%,这表明,地面紫外辐射水平也可以利用其他大气观测资料通过模式计算间接得到。     

利用多波段分光仪观测生物有效UV辐射、臭氧总量和云的影响

该文介绍了一种利用紫外分光仪进行辐照度观测获取生物有效UV辐射、臭氧总量和云的光学厚度的方法。这些量是观测的辐照度与辐射传输计算相结合后测定的。该方法被用于具有 4个中心波长为 30 5、32 0、340和 380nm ,宽度为 10nm的 4波段分光仪。将这种仪器与高精度分光光度计在美国圣迭戈不同天气条件下进行了为期 1周的对比观测。当太阳天顶角 (SZA) <80°时 ,CIE 权重UV辐射剂量率的相对误差为 1.4± 3.2 %。晴天条件下 ,当SZA <80°时 ,相对误差为 0 .6± 1.5%。该仪器观测的辐照度推算的臭氧总量对云并不敏感。这种仪器还与Dobson和Brewer仪器在挪威奥斯陆进行了一年多的对比观测。整个观测期间 (包括有云的情况 )获得的臭氧总量相对误差为 0 .3± 2 .9%。当晴天和SZA <6 0°时 ,标准差减小到 1.9%。将仪器观测中所获得的臭氧总量和云的光学厚度输入到辐射传输模式 ,可以计算从 2 90～ 4 0 0nm分辨率为 1nm的整个光谱。这样计算的光谱与同时用高精度分光光度计观测的光谱在晴天及有云的条件下非常一致 ,所以 ,这种光谱可以用于测定任何作用光谱的辐射剂量率。而计算这种光谱只需要一个UV B通道和一个UV A通道     

国产ECC型O3探空仪性能测试及室外比对观测

该文介绍了中国科学院大气物理研究所（简称IAP）研制的电化学浓度电池（ECC）型臭氧（O₃）探空仪基本性能测试和2013年上半年室外比对观测结果。结果表明:ECC的背景电流（I_bg）在0.1 μA以下或更低;测量O₃的响应时间为21~26 s;NO₂（SO₂）使O₃测值偏高（低）;抽气泵低压泵效系数（C_ef）在100 hPa高度以下为1.0左右,在该高度以上上升,10 hPa达到1.17±0.10,5 hPa达到1.28±0.16,性能略低于同类进口产品（1.055以下）。国产和进口仪器在气象探空或抽气泵等部件上具有良好兼容性;两者所测O₃垂直分布廓线总体一致。IAP O₃探空仪O₃总量与Brewer光谱仪测值比值为0.9~1.1;C_ef和I_bg订正有效降低了IAP O₃探空仪在平流层低层与进口仪器测值的差别,这一订正对O₃柱浓度在平流层和对流层的贡献分别为约15 DU和4~6 DU;在对流层,IAP O₃探空仪测值与进口仪器间的绝对差别稳定且低于0.5 mPa;而平流层受泵效影响较明显。因此,建议IAP O₃探空仪提高其C_ef的稳定性,参与国际比对测试,国产气象探空平台数据接收处理增加必要的滤波技术以降低平流层探测数据（包括O₃）的振荡。     

长春地区紫外光谱（UV-A，UV-B）辐射观测和初步分析

利用我们研制的太阳—大气紫外光谱辐射计，从1992年5月在长春开始试验了野外观测，监视到达地表的太阳直射和大气散射紫外光谱辐射，主要给出长春地区地面紫外辐射，特别是紫外（UV）B段（280～320 nm）光谱辐射的一些基本特点和初步统计特征。由于地表UV-B辐射对生态系统和人类健康有危害作用，其强度随着臭氧减少而增加。该项观测分析将有助于监测和研究臭氧层变薄的实际效应。     

拉萨紫外辐射特征分析及估算公式的建立

本文利用2005~2010年的辐射观测资料对拉萨地区紫外辐射的时间变化特征及紫外辐射与总辐射比值的变化特征进行了分析,结果表明,紫外辐射与太阳总辐射的变化规律基本一致,日变化表现为正午大、早晚小;季变化特征是夏季6月最大,冬季1月最小.紫外辐射日累积值6年平均为0.87 MJ·m-2·d-1;紫外辐射有逐年递减的趋势.紫外辐射与总辐射比值也存在着明显日变化,表现为正午大、早晚小的规律;其季节变化也是夏季最大,冬季最小.紫外辐射与总辐射比值6年平均为0.0418;紫外辐射与总辐射比值也呈现逐年递减的趋势.利用2010年大气质量数和晴空指数,建立了适合于拉萨紫外辐射估量的公式,估算值的瞬时值与观测值的平均相对误差最大为8.66%,紫外辐射日累积重构值与观测值平均相对误差仅为5.5%.     

FY-4A/AGRI传感器波段平均太阳辐照度计算及不确定性分析

传感器大气顶层波段平均太阳辐照度(Band-Averaged Extraterrestrial Solar Irradiance,BAESI)是表观反射率和星上辐亮度之间转换的重要因子,为了针对FY-4A/AGRI有关通道较为准确地计算这一数值,分别以韩国COMS/GOCI、美国GEOS-16/ABI、日本Himawari-8/9/AHI传感器为例,利用国际上常用的6条太阳光谱曲线与传感器光谱响应函数参与计算BAESI,并与各传感器BAESI标准值进行比较。结果表明,Kurucz计算结果平均绝对误差与均方根误差均最小,是最理想的太阳光谱曲线,此外,Kurucz计算值与各传感器各波段BAESI标准值的最大偏差均小于4.5%,最大偏差百分比及对应波段分别为-2.39%(GOCI-band3)、1.49%(ABI-band6)、4.28%(AHI-08-band6)、4.42%(AHI-09-band6)。因此选择Kurucz太阳光谱曲线参与计算FY-4A/AGRI传感器各波段BAESI值,给出相应结果,并分析了计算值的不确定性,解决了将表观反射率转换为辐射亮度的困难。     

中国西北三类典型裸土下垫面地表宽波段发射率变化特征研究

利用2013年我国西北戈壁、沙漠和黄土塬区三类典型裸土下垫面野外观测试验资料,探究了上述地区地表向下、向上长波辐射（DLR&ULR）、地表温度（LST）和地表宽波段发射率（LSBE）的变化特征,结果表明:黄土站地表ULR和LST明显比戈壁和沙漠站偏低;戈壁宽波段发射率（GbBE）、沙漠宽波段发射率（DeBE）和黄土宽波段发射率（LoBE）具有明显的变化特征,尤其是日变化特征;观测期内GbBE、DeBE和LoBE平均值分别约为0.926±0.0452、0.916±0.0419和0.881±0.049。三站点地表宽波段发射率的数值大小和变化特征与陆面模式中所指定的参数化情况不符。地表发射率会受站点周围环境和当时气象条件等因素的影响,表层土壤湿度被认为是一个非常重要的影响因子,将来的野外观测试验中需加强相关影响要素的观测与分析。

利用2014年夏季在河北饶阳开展的“华北区域光化学立体试验”观测得到气溶胶辐射特性,根据三波长角散射浊度仪Aurora 4000测量获取的前向角散射系数（10°~90°）和后向散射系数,提出了一种基于浊度仪直接测量的气溶胶角散射系数和改进的HG相函数近似获取气溶胶散射相函数、不对称因子的拟合估算方法。分析了2014年6月16日—8月18日夏季观测试验期间河北饶阳地区大气气溶胶细粒子（PM_2.5）在635 nm,525 nm,450 nm 3个波段的不对称因子、相函数等的变化特征。结果表明:用改进的HG相函数近似能够较好地拟合河北饶阳实际观测的PM_2.5的气溶胶散射相函数。拟合得到河北饶阳地区观测期间干气溶胶细粒子在3个波段的平均不对称因子（g）分别为0.53±0.04（635 nm）,0.57±0.05（525 nm）和0.57±0.07（450 nm）。     

Enhanced spectral UV irradiance: a 1 year preliminary study

The ultraviolet (UV) spectra on cloudy days were compared to those on cloud free days to determine which part of the UV spectrum has the greatest enhancement due to the cloud compared to both corresponding measured clear sky spectra as well as other enhanced spectra. In this preliminary study, cloud enhanced UV spectra selected for maximum UVA enhancement compared to a clear sky UV spectrum at similar solar zenith angle (SZA) and ozone values, showed that the ratio of the two sets of spectral irradiances was approximately wavelength independent (approximately 1.1) above the cut-off wavelength of approximately 306 nm. Similarly, above 306 nm the average ratio of the spectral irradiances of a maximum UVB enhanced UV spectrum compared to a clear sky spectrum was 1.2 with maximum values generally above this average between 316 and 344 nm and generally below 1.2 above the wavelength of 344 nm. The UVA and UVB enhanced spectra were separated into five SZA ranges and the irradiance at each wavelength averaged for each range and compared to clear sky spectra in each of the ranges. Above approximately 306 nm, the ratios are wavelength independent for all SZA. However, with the exception of the SZA range centred on 20°, there is an increasing dependency with shorter wavelengths below the 306 nm. Also there appears to be two distinct groupings of the average irradiance ratios, corresponding to the SZA range centred on 20°, 37° and 49° (ratio of 1.2) and 32° and 42° (ratio 1.0), the latter cases suggesting that on average there is no enhancement for these SZA, except for wavelengths less than 306 nm.     

Impact of UV-A radiation on erythemal UV and UV-index estimation over Korea

Because total UV(TUV) in the UV-A region is 100 times higher than in the UV-B region,UV-A is a considerable component when calculating erythemal UV(EUV) and UV-index.The ratio of EUV to TUV in the UV-A value [EUV(A)/TUV(A)]is investigated to convert the EUV(A) from TUV(A) for broadband observation. The representative value of EUV(A)/TUV(A),from the simulation study,is 6.9 × 10-4,changing from 6.1 × 10-4to 7.0 × 10-4as aerosol optical depth,total ozone and solar zenith angle change. By adopting the observational data of EUV(B) and TUV(A) from UV-biometer measurements at Yonsei University [(37.57?N,126.95?E),84 m above sea level],the EUV irradiance increases to 15% of EUV(B) due to the consideration of EUV(A) from the data of TUV(A) observation. Compared to the total EUV observed from the Brewer spectrophotometer at the same site,the EUV(B) from the UV-biometer observes only 95% of total EUV,and its underestimation is caused by neglecting the effect of UV-A. However,the sum of EUV(B) and EUV(A) [EUV(A+B)] from two UV-biometers is 10% larger than the EUV from the Brewer spectrophotometer because of the spectral overlap effect in the range 320–340nm. The correction factor for the overlap effect adjusts 8% of total EUV.     

Trends in spectral UV radiation from long-term measurements at Hoher Sonnblick, Austria

High-quality long-term records of spectral UV irradiance from the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change-affiliated Bentham spectroradiometer at the high-mountain site Hoher Sonnblick (47.05° N, 12.95° E, 3,106?m above sea level) from the period 1997?C2011 have been investigated for the existence of trends. Throughout the year, significant upward trends are found at wavelengths of 315?nm and longer. The magnitudes at 315?nm range from +9.3?±?4.5?%/dec at 45° solar zenith angle (SZA) to +14.2?±?3.7?%/dec at SZA 65° for all-sky conditions. The trend estimates at 305?nm are considerably smaller and less significant, yielding between +5.1?±?6.5 and +7.9?±?7.3?%/dec, depending on SZA. Seasonally, the largest trends are found during winter and spring. Total ozone has significantly increased by year-round +1.9?±?1.3?%/dec since 1997 and therefore cannot explain these significant increases. They are rather attributed to decreases in total cloud cover and aerosol optical depth.     

Influence of natural and anthropogenic activities on UV Index variations – a study over tropical urban region using ground based observations and satellite data

Measurements of total ozone column and solar UV radiation under different atmospheric conditions are needed to define variations of both UV and ozone and to study the impact of ozone depletion at the Earth’s surface. In this study, spectral and broadband measurements of UV-B irradiance were obtained along with total ozone observations and aerosol optical depth measurements in the tropical urban region of Hyderabad, south India. We specifically used an Ultra-Violet Multifilter Rotating Shadow band Radiometer (UVMFR-SR), to measure UV irradiance in time and space. To assess the aerosol and O₃ effects on ground-reaching UV irradiance, we used measurements from a Microtops II sun photometer in addition to the Tropospheric Ultraviolet Visible radiation (TUV) model. We also assessed the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program – Operational Line Scanner (DMSP-OLS) night time satellite data for inferring biomass burning fires during the study period. Results clearly suggested a negative correlation between the DMSP-OLS satellite derived fire count data and UVMFR-SR data suggesting that aerosols from biomass burning are directly attenuating UV irradiance in the study region. Also, correlation analysis between UV index and ozone measurements from sun photometer and TOMS-Ozone Mapping Instrument (OMI) indicated a clear decrease in ground reaching UV-B irradiance during higher ozone conditions. The higher levels are attributed to photochemical production of O₃ during the oxidation of trace gases emitted from biomass burning. Results also suggested a relatively high attenuation in UV irradiance (~6% higher) from smoke particles than dust. We also found a relatively good agreement between the modeled (TUV) and measured UV irradiance spectra for different atmospheric conditions. Our results highlight the factors affecting UV irradiance in a tropical urban environment, south India.     

Validation of a method to estimate direct normal irradiance of UVA and PAR bands from global horizontal measurements for cloudless sky conditions in Valencia, Spain, by a measurement campaign

A method is proposed to provide measurement of direct normal solar irradiance of bands with wavelength ranges (315?C400?nm, 400?C700?nm) from measurements of global horizontal band irradiance for cloudless sky conditions in Valencia. Global and normal direct irradiance data for every air mass were obtained by applying the SMART2 model to the atmosphere of Valencia. The direct normal to global irradiance ratio was parameterized versus the relative optical air mass. A measurement campaign of global horizontal and diffuse irradiance of UVA and PAR bands was carried out in Valencia, after which, the inferred direct normal irradiance was compared with those provided by the method. The result of the comparison shows that the method is acceptably accurate. The proposed model tends to underestimate the direct normal irradiance of the UVA band by 6%, although for values below 25?W/m² the model overestimates the direct irradiance by 6%, while for values above 25?W/m² the model underestimates it by 10%. The other two error estimators used ranging from 11% to 15% are similar in the defined interval measurements in relation to the whole UVA band. Regarding the PAR band, the model overestimates the direct normal irradiance of the PAR band by only 2.2%. With this, the results of the PAR band are more conclusive, as it has been found that for direct normal irradiance values higher than 280?W/m² the MBE error is almost zero and the other two estimator errors are small, about 5%.     

Ultraviolet sky radiance distributions of translucent overcast skies

Summary The diffuse sky radiation component in the ultraviolet wavelengths is often at least 50% of the global irradiance under clear skies, and is the dominant component of ultraviolet global radiation under translucent overcast skies. The distribution of sky radiance was measured in a rural area and modeled for wavelength bands of ultraviolet-B (UVB, 280–320 nm) and ultraviolet-A (UVA, 320–400 nm). Sky radiance measurements were made during the summer of 1993 over a wide range of solar zenith angles using radiance sensors mounted on a hand-operated hemispherical rotation mount. UVB irradiance measurements were also made during each scan. Since the ratio of measured irradiance under overcast skies and that predicted for clear skies was not correlated with cloud base height, opaque cloud fraction, or solar zenith angle, it was concluded that the scattering from the clouds dominated the global irradiance, and this scattering was relatively unaffected by the scattering off opaque clouds in the translucent atmosphere.Analysis of the translucent overcast sky UVA and UVB radiance measurements using a semi-empirical distribution model showed that the spectral influences on multiple scattering, single scattering, and horizon brightening components of the distributions agreed with basic atmospheric radiation theory. The best model used solar zenith, the sky zenith, and the scattering angle with resultant coefficient of determination values of 0.62 and 0.25 for the UVA and UVB respectively. The developed equations can be applied directly to the diffuse sky irradiance on the horizontal to provide radiance distributions for the sky.With 6 Figures     

Effects of cloudiness on global and diffuse UV irradiance in a high-mountain area

Summary At the high-mountain station Jungfraujoch (3576 m a.s.l., Switzerland), measurements of the radiation fluxes were made during 16 periods of six to eight weeks by means of a Robertson—Berger sunburn meter (UVB data), an Eppley UVA radiometer and an Eppley pyranometer. Cloudiness, opacity and altitude of clouds were recorded at 30-minute intervals. A second set of instruments was employed for separate measurement of the diffuse radiation fluxes using shadow bands. The global and diffuse UVA- and UVB radiation fluxes change less with cloudiness than the corresponding total radiation fluxes. When the sun is covered by clouds, the global UVA- and UVB radiation fluxes are also affected less than the global total radiation flux. The roughly equal influence of cloudiness on the UVA- and UVB radiation fluxes suggests that the reduction is influenced more by scattering than by ozone. Also, the share of diffuse irradiance in global irradiance is considerably higher for UVA- and UVB irradiance than for total irradiance. At 50° solar elevation and 0/10 cloudiness, the share is 39% for UVB irradiance, 34% for UVA irradiance and 11% for total irradiance. The increased aerosol turbidity after the eruptions of El Chichon and Pinatubo has caused a significant increase in diffuse total irradiance but has not produced any significant changes in diffuse UVA- and UVB irradiances.With 7 Figures     

Analysis of cumulus solar irradiance reflectance (CSIR) events

Clouds are extremely important with regard to the transfer of solar radiation at Earth's surface. This study investigates Cumulus Solar Irradiance Reflection (CSIR) using ground-based pyranometers. CSIR events are short-term increases in solar radiation observed at the surface as a result of reflection off the sides of convective clouds. When Sun-cloud observer geometry is favorable, these occurrences produce characteristic spikes in the pyranometer traces and solar irradiance values may exceed expected clear-sky values. Ultraviolet CSIR events were investigated during the summer of 1995 using UVA and UVB pyranometers. Observed data were compared to clear-sky curves which were generated using a third degree polynomial best-fit line technique. Periods during which the observed data exceeded this clear-sky curve were identified as CSIR events. The magnitude of a CSIR event was determined by two different quantitative calculations. The MAC (magnitude above clear-sky) is an absolute measure of the difference between the observed and clear-sky irradiances. Maximum MAC values of 3.4 Win⁻² and 0.0169 Wm⁻² were observed at the UV-A and UV-B wavelengths, respectively. The second calculation determined the percentage above clear-sky (PAC) which indicated the relative magnitude of a CSIR event. Maximum UV-A and UV-B PAC magnitudes of 10.1% and 7.8%, respectively, were observed during the study. Also of interest was the duration of the CSIR events which is a function of Sun-cloud-sensor geometry and the speed of cloud propagation over the measuring site. In both the UV-A and UV-B wavelengths, significant CSIR durations of up to 30 minutes were observed. C 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
