气溶胶吸收及气候效应研究的新进展

最新研究结果表明仅关注气溶胶大气顶辐射强迫是不够的,特别是对于在短波辐射区域存在较强吸收的气溶胶类型,如烟尘、沙尘气溶胶。INDOEX实验表明来自印度次大陆的吸收性气溶胶产生的地表辐射强迫在量值上是大气顶辐射强迫的3倍左右,二者的差额以大气辐射加热的形式出现。气溶胶吸收通过加热气溶胶层所在大气,减少地表太阳辐射,影响地面蒸发,改变大气稳定度,从而影响水分循环。另外气溶胶的吸收对云产生“燃烧效应”,从而可能导致云量下降。鉴于气溶胶吸收的重要性,气溶胶吸收问题是当前气溶胶气候效应研究的一个热点问题。尽管关于气溶胶的吸收问题以及与之有关的气候效应还存在很大不确定性,根据观测事实或模拟结果得出的结论差别明显,但勿庸置疑的是气溶胶吸收是一个急需深入探讨的课题。由于我国北方地区春季沙尘活动十分频繁,而东部地区由于能源结构以及能源利用效率等问题致使气溶胶中吸收性成分（碳黑）含量偏高,一些资料分析以及模式研究结果均表明我国发生了一些有别于全球或其他地区的独特气候变化现象,初步分析表明气溶胶吸收在其中可能发挥了一定作用,因此加强我国气溶胶吸收特性的观测和理论研究,结合全球或区域气候模式,深入认识我国气溶胶辐射强迫、气候效应具有重要的科学意义,另外对于评估我国近年来采取的一些卓有成效的污染控制措施的环境和气候效应也是必不可少的。     

二次光化学氧化剂与气溶胶间的非均相过程

光氧化剂和气溶胶颗粒物在大气环境中普遍存在,影响着大气氧化能力和气候,威胁着人类健康。而大气光氧化剂与气溶胶颗粒物间复杂的耦合相互作用能产生二次污染物,使得大气污染过程更为复杂,成为国际大气化学研究的前沿和热点课题。挥发性有机物（VOCs）和氮氧化物（NOx）等一次污染物在大气中经过复杂的光化学反应可形成以臭氧（O3）为主的二次光化学氧化剂,并以大气气溶胶为平台发生非均相反应,使大气污染更严重,引起人们普遍关注。二次光化学氧化剂和气溶胶颗粒物之间非均相过程的实验室研究是深入认识这两者间耦合相互作用的关键,实验室研究可以为分析和深入认识外场观测结果提供基础,还能为数值模式模拟研究提供基本参数。概括了大气二次光化学氧化剂的形成过程,总结了国际上近年来二次光化学氧化剂与大气气溶胶颗粒物非均相反应的实验室研究进展以及研究方法,最后提出了现有的一些主要科学问题,对未来这一重要领域的研究前景进行了展望。     

探讨气候变化的新热点:大气气溶胶的气候效应

气溶胶的气候效应是近年来研究的热点问题。针对这一问题已开展过许多观测研究和模式研究。但是由于气溶胶问题的复杂性以及对气溶胶的观测历史短,至今尚缺少全球范围的气溶胶系统观测资料,所以目前气溶胶的辐射强迫仍是个很不确定的量。这直接影响对全球气候变化的预测。目前国内外正在加强这方面的研究工作,并且有了一些初步的结果。概述了近期国内外对气溶胶的气候效应的研究状况及结果,介绍了今后国际上将要在这一领域开展的研究工作。

毫米波测云雷达的特点及其研究现状与展望

云在大气的能量分配、辐射传输,尤其是水循环系统中有不可忽视的作用。云探测对云物理、人工影响天气、气候变化和航空航天等领域有重要意义,是大气科学研究的热点之一。尽管目前已经发展了很多种遥感设备对云进行观测(如激光雷达、卫星、云幂仪等),但这些设备无法得到高时空分辨率的云水平和垂直结构,而毫米波雷达是云三维精细结构探测的重要工具。由于毫米波雷达具有更接近小粒子尺度的短波长,因此更适合用来探测弱云,同时毫米波雷达也存在衰减严重的缺点。介绍了毫米波雷达的特点以及其探测小粒子的优势;对比分析了其与新一代多普勒天气雷达、晴空风廓线雷达的差异,得出：毫米波雷达具有高时空分辨率,能够更精确地反映云的垂直和水平结构,比普通天气雷达更适合监测云的变化。概括了国内外毫米波测云雷达的发展现状以及在云物理研究方面的情况,并展望了国内毫米波雷达未来研究的方向。     

数字全息云粒子测量技术现状及进展

准确获取大气中云粒子的原位探测信息,对于揭示气溶胶—云—降水形成物理机制、改进数值预报模式微物理参数化方案、评估人工影响天气催化效果等具有重要的应用价值。数字全息测量技术能够同时获取云粒子的尺度、速度、相态和空间位置等信息,且具有覆盖粒子尺度范围广（μm～mm）、空间采样精度高（可达mm量级）和仪器采样体积可准确确定等诸多优点,在云微物理观测领域具有广阔的应用前景。总结了目前国内外数字全息云粒子测量仪器的研究现状,分析了仪器研制所涉及的全息光路设计、机械防护和全息图处理等几个关键技术问题,并介绍了全息云粒子观测结果在揭示混合云内冰晶冻结机制和云中湍流混合作用影响微物理机制等方面的应用。最后,从技术应用角度对全息光路优化设计、全息图处理方法、仪器结构防护和外场观测试验等方面作了一定的思考和展望,以期为开展相关仪器研制和云微物理观测应用研究提供参考。     

气候模式中云辐射反馈过程机理的评述

云对地气系统的辐射收支具有十分重要的作用,云辐射参数化是目前气候模式中不确定性的主要来源。云可以通过多种途径对辐射产生影响,形成不同符号、不同量值的反馈机制。研究表明,模式气候对不同的云辐射参数化方案十分敏感。预报云水含量方案的引入,改进了对云辐射过程的模拟,但与观测资料相比仍有差距。一般说来,模式中引入云水的相变和相互作用的云粒子大小产生负反馈,而光学厚度和云量产生的是正反馈。云辐射反馈的净作用其大小和符号因模式而异。云辐射与大尺度天气气候背景之间有着紧密的联系,尤其是海温对辐射平衡有显著影响。最后总结了当前云辐射研究中存在的主要问题,并提出了改进的途径。     

基于单颗粒质谱研究云雾水和降雨中颗粒物的化学成分

气溶胶可作为云凝结核或冰核参与云雾和降水的形成.然而,现有研究大多以云雾水和降雨中的水溶性组分为研究对象,对于难溶性组分的认识还十分有限.本研究于2017年5～6月在广东天井山观测站(24°41′56″N,112°53′56″E,海拔1690 m)采集了21个云雾水和9个雨水样品,利用单颗粒气溶胶质谱直接分析其中的单颗粒化学成分.通过聚类分析发现:(1)海盐、矿尘颗粒和生物气溶胶对云凝结核和冰核的贡献较高(数量占比为67.3％～75.1％).结合气团轨迹分析发现,海盐气溶胶经长距离的内陆输送后仍是重要的云凝结核和冰核;(2)云雾水和雨水中颗粒类型差异较大,云雾水中海盐(35.7％)、有机物(12.1％)、有机胺(8.0％)及Fe(6.4％)的贡献更大,而雨水中矿尘(35.6％)、与有机物混合的黑碳颗粒(18.9％)的贡献高,反映了气溶胶形成暖云和混合相云过程的差异.     

大气气溶胶密度观测研究进展

大气气溶胶的气候效应、环境效应、健康效应均与其物理化学性质密切相关,其中,密度是大气气溶胶重要的物理性质之一。密度影响着粒子的输送过程和在人体肺部的沉积过程。密度可以分别将电迁移率粒径和空气动力学粒径,数浓度和质量浓度联系起来。密度的变化可为气溶胶的形成和老化过程提供信息,细粒子分粒径的密度还可为大气过程和化学组分的演化提供参考依据。因此,研究大气气溶胶密度对了解气溶胶化学组分,评估气溶胶形成过程以及探究气溶胶在人体内的沉积效率具有重要的意义。由于国内在该领域研究总体较少,对大气气溶胶密度的定义、研究方法、国内外研究进展以及影响因素和变化特征等进行较为系统的总结,对未来开展大气气溶胶密度的观测和研究十分必要。

Aerosol’s Impacts on the Indian Summer Monsoon and the East Asian Summer Monsoon:An Overview

India Peninsula and East Asia are high aerosol loading regions as well as major regions influenced by Asian monsoon. The changes of monsoon intensity and precipitation have great influence on economy, especially agricultural production of monsoon regions. There are many researches of impacts of aerosol on Indian monsoon, which have achieved many comprehensive progresses. Earlier researches show that atmospheric brown cloud caused negative radiative forcing and weakened the warming induced by greenhouse gases. Current researches show that absorbing aerosol enhanced the Indian monsoon and increased rainfall in pre-monsoon season, while the scattering effect of aerosol weakened the Indian summer monsoon and the East Asian summer monsoon and rainfall in monsoon season. Due to so many factors affecting the monsoon, researches of aerosol impacts on monsoon become more complex. Thus, these results remain uncertain. This paper reviews previous researches and generalizes the mechanisms of impacts of aerosols on Asian monsoon. By comparing the East Asian summer monsoon with the Indian summer monsoon, we discussed deficiencies of the prior researches, and pointed out the direction for future researches about the impact of aerosol on the Asian summer monsoon, especially on the East Asian summer monsoon.     

Trends in aerosol optical properties over Eastern Europe based on MODIS-Aqua

This study provides characteristics of aerosol columnar properties, measured over ten countries in Eastern Europe from 2002 to 2019. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Ångström exponent (AE) were obtained with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6.1 merged Dark Target and Deep Blue aerosol product. The product is validated using ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) situated at Minsk, Belsk, Moldova and Kyiv. The results showed that 76.15% of retrieved AOD data are within the expected error. It was established that 64.2% of AOD points are between 0 and 0.2 and 79.3% of all AE points are over 1. Mean AOD values in the region vary from 0.130 ​± ​0.04 (Moldova) to 0.193 ​± ​0.03 (Czech Republic) with mean value in the region 0.162 ​± ​0.05. Seasonal mean AOD (AE) values were at the maximum during the summer from 0.231 ​± ​0.05 (1.482 ​± ​0.09 in winter) to minimum 0.087 ​± ​0.04 during the winter (1.363 ​± ​0.17 in summer). Gradual AOD reduction is observed in all countries with annual trend from −0.0050 (Belarus) to −0.0029 (Russia). Finally, the relationship between AOD and AE was studied to classify various aerosol types and showed seasonal non-uniformity of their contribution depending on variation in sources. The entire region is under significant impact of various aerosol types, including clean continental (СС), mixed (MX) and anthropogenic/burning (AB) aerosols types that are at 59.77%, 24.72%, and 12.97% respectively. These results form an important basis for further regional studies of air quality and distribution of sources of pollution.     

Climatology,trend of aerosol-cloud parameters and their correlation over the Northern Indian Ocean

Aerosols are one of the important atmospheric constituents and exert indirect impact on climate through the modification of microphysical and radiative properties of clouds that in turn perturb the precipitation pattern. Thus, the long term quantification of changes in aerosol and cloud characteristics and their interactions on both temporal as well as spatial scale will provide a crucial information for the better assessment of future climate change. In present study, 18 years (2003–2020) MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) derived aerosol-cloud dataset over the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO) were analysed to assess climatology and trend of aerosol, cloud characteristics and their correlation. We found a strong heterogeneity in spatio-temporal variation of aerosol and cloud parameters over the NIO that are more prominent for the coastal region. The climatological mean of aerosol loading is found high (AOD ≥ 0.5) over the outflow region along the Indian sub-continent and low (AOD ≤ 0.2) over the northern equatorial open ocean. The climatological mean of cloud properties shows dominance of optically thicker deep convective (CTP < 600 hPa and CTT < 260 K) clouds over the southern Bay of Bengal (BoB) and thinner shallow (CTP > 700 hPa and CTT > 273 K) over the northwestern Arabian Sea (AS). Similarly, bigger effective radii (>17 µm) observed along the equatorial open ocean whereas smaller CER (<17 µm) were found over Indian sub-continental coastline and western AS. Further, trend analysis reveals an increasing pattern in AOD (0.002 yr^?1), CER (0.051 µm yr^?1), LWP (0.033 gm^?2 yr^?1) and CF (0.002 yr^?1) while COD, CTT and CTP show negative trend in order of ?0.005 yr^?1, ?0.094 K yr^?1 and ?1.160 hPa yr^?1, respectively. We also perform similar analysis for seven sub-region of interest (R1 to R7) across the NIO and results show a decreasing pattern in AOD (?0.001 yr^?1) at R4 against maximum mean AOD (0.44 ± 0.03). However, coastal sub-regions R1 and R5 illustrate maximum increase in aerosol loading (>0.003 yr^?1) suggesting a significant impact of sub-continental outflow over the regions. The spatial correlation of cloud properties with respect to AOD shows a positive slope for CER (0.14) and CF (0.48) and a negative for COD (?0.19), LWP (?0.18), CTT (?0.37), CTP (?0.41). The present study provides in-depth information about the aerosol-cloud characteristics for a long term scale over NIO and could be useful in regional aerosol-cloud interaction induced climate forcing estimation.     

新疆地区不同下垫面气溶胶光学特性的分析

大气气溶胶辐射强迫及气候效应的研究现状

由于工业活动的影响,对流层气溶胶含量明显增加。他们通过直接吸收和反射太阳辐射以及改变其它辐射强迫因子（云、臭氧）的大小间接影响地气系统的能量收支。近年来研究表明：人类活动产生的气溶胶具有与CO₂温室气体大小相当、符号相反的辐射强迫效应。他们在全球或区域范围内削弱温室气体的变暖趋势,对气候变化造成很大的影响。文章就人为气溶胶辐射强迫及气候效应近年来的研究状况做了介绍。     

北京市春夏季大气气溶胶的单颗粒分析表征

采集了北京市2000年春夏季大气气溶胶样品5个，采用扫描电镜X射线能谱技术分析大气气溶胶单颗粒约2500个。研究结果表明，沙尘期间，矿物尘是最主要的颗粒物种类，非沙尘期间，北京市大气气溶胶中主要检出矿物尘和含硫颗粒物。夏季随着颗粒物污染的加重，含硫颗粒物的数目百分数增加。是北京市大气颗粒物污染的重要特征。重点讨论了Ca-S颗粒、K-S颗粒和Ca-K-S颗粒三类典型含硫颗粒物的化学组成和粒径分布特征。数目可观的Ca-K-S颗粒以及其他硫酸盐颗粒的生成与相对湿度和云量等气象条件相关，这些颗粒物可能是云中过程的产物。减少SO2排放，减少含硫颗粒物，对于控制北京市的大气颗粒物浓度水平具有重要意义。

Aerosol particles in the Mexican East Pacific. Part II: Numerical simulations of the impact of enhanced CCN on precipitation development

A number of studies have explored the effect of anthropogenic emissions on the development and evolution of precipitation in different types of clouds; however, the magnitude of the effect is still not clear, particularly for the case of deep, mixed-phase clouds. In this study, changes in the parameterization of the autoconversión process were introduced in the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model to further evaluate this question. The simulations were initialized with cloud droplet distributions measured from an instrumented C-130 aircraft flying 600-800 km offshore in the intertropical convergence zone during the East Pacific Investigations of Climate (EPIC) project. Two contrasting cases were selected, one with and the other without the influence of anthropogenic aerosols. The simulations indicate that the increased cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations lead to a delay in the formation of rain and to a decrease in precipitation that reaches the surface as a result of the inhibition of the autoconversion of cloud water to rain water and the subsequent delay in the formation of hail. In addition, hail forms at higher levels in the cloud for the case of anthropogenic CCN. The most important process in the production of rain water in both cases is the melting of hail. A decrease in the mass of hail that falls below the freezing level in the polluted case, leads to a decrease in the resulting precipitation at the surface. Changes in the initial concentration of CCN do not appear to influence the storm strength in terms of updrafts and cloud top height, suggesting little sensitivity of the cloud dynamics. A control case simulation using the old microphysics scheme produces much more precipitation than either of the clean and polluted cases. In addition, the clean case with the modified parameterization shows a better agreement to observations than the control case. It is suggested to use the new scheme to simulate deep convective development over tropical maritime regions.     

Overview of Researches on All-Sky Satellite Microwave Data Variational Assimilation

As the important components of the earth’s atmospheric system, cloud and precipitation strongly affect the global hydrology and energy cycles through the interaction of solar and infrared radiation with cloud droplets and the release of latent heat in precipitation development. The microwave observations in cloudy and rainy conditions have a large amount of information closely related to the development of weather systems, especially the severe weather systems like typhoon and rainstorm. Nevertheless, satellite microwave observations are usually only assimilated in clear-sky above the ocean and their cloud and precipitation content is discarded. Over the past two decades, several Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) centers have gradually developed the “all-sky” approach to make use of the cloud- and precipitation-affected microwave radiances. It’s been proved that the all-sky assimilation can be used to improve the first guessed mass, wind, humidity, cloud and precipitation through the tracer effect. For providing an investigated reference for the future research of all-weather assimilation in domestic numerical weather forecast, this paper reviewed the all-sky assimilation methods using microwave observation data, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and discussed the key technical problems and the existing difficulties and challenges in this field. With the development and application of the new generation of NWP model in China, advancing the domestic research of all-weather data assimilation technology will bring more scientific and practical benefits in the future.     

A New Single-Filter Method for Analyzing Coastal Aerosol Production and Links to Meteorology

Aerosols are known to influence the climate system in a range of ways; they affect radiation budgets, cloud formation and circulation patterns, and contribute to local biogeochemical cycling and ecology. Despite this recognized role for marine aerosol, however, recent research has emphasized the impact of global climate change on coastal environments rather than the other way around. This occurs in part because most methods for sampling marine aerosol are expensive and studies tend to occur only on specialized marine stations and ocean-crossing research vessels. This project tests a new method for aerosol sampling, specifically designed for use in local studies of coastal environments and costing little to set up. It also reports the results of a pilot study in Alderney (Channel Islands) where changes in both aerosol abundance and aerosol composition, including fractionation effects, were observed using the new method and linked to local meteorological conditions.
