2050年前中国雾日变化趋势的预估

 利用1971-2005年中国591个气象台站的雾日资料以及逐日最低气温、相对湿度、平均风速资料,分析了35 a来中国各区域年雾日数与这些因子的相关关系,并利用IPCC第四次评估报告所提供的模式数据资料,针对3种不同的排放情景,对21世纪上半叶各区域年平均雾日进行预估。结果表明：对划分的9个雾区的年雾日数的回归方程的拟合效果较好,可以用来进行预估;未来50 a中国大部分地区雾日呈明显减少的变化趋势,在A1B,A2和B1情景下,雾日减少的平均幅度分别为16.2%,13.4%和12.9%。未来50 a中国雾日预估结果的空间分布显示：3种情景下未来中国大部分雾区雾日数都将减少,个别地区雾日数有增加趋势,其中A1B情景下雾日减少区的减少趋势最明显,而B1情景下雾日增加区的增加趋势最明显。     

一次广东省大雾过程的数值模拟分析

利用美国国家大气研究中心（NCAR）和宾夕法尼亚州立大学联合研制的第5代中尺度气象模式系统MM5,对广东省地区春季出现的一次大雾过程进行了数值模拟研究。模式模拟结果与实际温湿探空的对比表明,模式很好地模拟了大雾过程的流场变化特征及表征大雾的液态水含量分布。对这次大雾生消过程起决定性作用的是925 hPa风场的变化。当925 hPa转为偏南风控制时,暖湿的海洋性空气流经较冷的下垫面从而形成大范围的平流雾;而当925 hPa转为干冷的偏北风控制时,原本形成的大雾很快就消散了。同时模式也很好地模拟了伴随此次平流雾出现的逆温过程。逆温层高度约在900 hPa附近,具有相当的厚度,这对于大雾的形成和维持有一定作用。另外,利用模式模拟的液态水含量值估算的能见度水平分布情况与实况的观测结果也较为一致。     

河南省北部一次大雾天气过程分析

利用地面观测和探空资料以及NCEP1°×1°再分析资料,分析了2007年12A25-27日河南省北部大雾的成因,结果表明：由于降水后低层相对湿度较大,大气层结稳定,地面处在均压场里,风速较小,且大气低层为弱的上升运动、中高层为强的下沉运动,有利于低层水汽聚集,使湿层达到一定的厚度,从而使垂直能见度变差,雾的浓度变大。     

石河子地区一次大雾天气的诊断分析

应用实测资料、NCEP／NCAR再分析资料对2007年2月8—13日石河子地区出现的大雾天气进行诊断分析。结果显示：地面高压、高空暖脊与大雾的形成与消散有着直接的关系;逆温层的存在是大雾出现的必要条件;与大气层结稳定度有关的物理量对大雾天气也有一定的指示意义。     

郑州市大雾气候特点及一次个例分析

为了了解近20 a郑州市大雾的时空变化特征,根据1980-2005年郑州市大雾观测记录,统计分析了这一时期郑州市大雾的变化特点及产生大雾时的气象要素特征;并利用河南省地面和探空观测资料以及NCEP1°×1°再分析资料,从要素场、大气稳定度等方面,对2007年12月25-27日郑州市大雾形成原因进行了分析.结果表明:郑州市年雾日数呈下降趋势,每月都可以出现大雾,但12月最多,6月最少.降水后较大的相对湿度、稳定的大气层结以及近地层较小风速等是大雾形成的必要条件.     

基于城市交通脆弱性核算的大雾灾害风险评估

选用大雾观测资料测算城市地区的雾灾危险性指数,以规则网格作为评估单元,逐网格计算网格区域内的路网密度,以此作为雾灾的空间脆弱性指标,并针对重点设施的分布情况对脆弱性指数进行空间叠加订正;选用网格内的人口密度作为雾灾的易损性指标;危险性、脆弱性及易损性3项指标按5:2:1的分配比例综合测算雾灾的风险指数。实例研究选用北京地区1996年1月—2006年12月的大雾资料,按空间网格化方法对大雾灾害风险进行评估,结果表明:北京地区雾灾脆弱性指数的高值区域与高速路及环城路延伸方向一致,城市中心为人口集中分布地区,其综合风险指数高,与高速路段、环城路及机场等地段均为雾灾的高风险区域,北京东南部地区年平均雾日数相对较多,危险性指数值也较高,是雾灾较高风险区域。     

贵州山区一次锋面雾的数值模拟及形成条件诊断分析

利用中尺度模式系统WRF对2008-02-20—21贵州山区出现的一次锋面大雾进行了数值模拟研究,模拟大雾出现的区域与实况比较一致。利用数值模拟的高分辨率产品对锋面雾的形成条件进行了分析,结果表明:WRF模式对此次大雾的发生区域以及生成过程具有较好的数值模拟能力;贵州处在南支槽前西南气流控制下,中低层偏南气流强盛,为大雾的发生提供了有利的背景;静止锋的稳定维持和贴地逆温层的存在是雾发生的关键因素。     

一次高压型海雾中的液态含水量演变特征

2008年3月16—17日在粤西电白出现了一次在高压天气系统控制下的海雾过程。利用这次海雾的综合观测数据,分析了这一高压型海雾的液态含水量演变特征,讨论了液态含水量与雾滴平均直径和数密度以及气温、风速、湍流交换等的关系。结果显示:(1)海雾有发展-消散-再发展的准周期性变化特征;(2)海雾过程中的雾滴数有显著的变化,而雾滴平均直径的变化较小;雾滴数变化对海雾的发展、消散起主要作用;(3)在海雾生成和发展阶段,空气的冷却机制起主要作用;而在海雾的维持阶段冷却机制的作用并不明显;(4)在雾的生成阶段,弱湍流交换有利于雾的生成;而在雾的发展和维持阶段,湍流交换减弱,液态水增长,反之液态水减少。湍流交换的强、弱与海雾发展-消散-再发展的周期性变化有密切关系。     

Aerosol characteristics during winter fog at Agra,North India

Simultaneous measurements on physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosols over a tropical semi-arid location, Agra in north India, were undertaken during December 2004. The average concentration of total suspended particulates (TSP) increased by about 1.4 times during intense foggy/hazy days. Concentrations of SO₄ ²⁻, NO₃ ⁻, NH₄ ⁺ and Black Carbon (BC) aerosols increased by 4, 2, 3.5 and 1.7 times, respectively during that period. Aerosols were acidic during intense foggy/hazy days but the fog water showed alkaline nature, mainly due to the neutralizing capacity of NH₄ aerosols. Trajectory analyses showed that air masses were predominantly from NW direction, which might be responsible for transport of BC from distant and surrounding local sources. Diurnal variation of BC on all days showed a morning and an evening peak that were related to domestic cooking and vehicular emissions, apart from boundary layer changes. OPAC (Optical properties of aerosols and clouds) model was used to compute the optical properties of aerosols. Both OPAC-derived and observed aerosol optical depth (AOD) values showed spectral variation with high loadings in the short wavelengths (<1 μm). AOD value at 0.5 μm wavelength was significantly high during intense foggy/hazy days (1.22) than during clear sky or less foggy/hazy days (0.63). OPAC-derived Single scattering albedo (SSA) was 0.84 during the observational period, indicating significant contribution of absorbing aerosols. However, the BC mass fraction to TSP increased by only 1% during intense foggy/hazy days and thereby did not show any impact on SSA during that period. A large increase was observed in the shortwave (SW) atmospheric (ATM) forcing during intense foggy/hazy days (+75.8 W/m²) than that during clear sky or less foggy/hazy days (+38 W/m²), mainly due to increase in absorbing aerosols. Whereas SW forcing at surface (SUF) increased from −40 W/m² during clear sky or less foggy/hazy days to −76 W/m² during intense foggy/hazy days, mainly due to the scattering aerosols like SO₄ ^2-.     

Fog collection in the western Mediterranean basin (Valencia region, Spain)

Four different mountainous locations were selected in the Valencia region, East coast of the Iberian Peninsula, for fog water collection studies. Data for 2004 were obtained by means of an instrument ensemble consisting essentially of a passive cylindrical fog water collector, a raingauge, a wind direction and velocity sensor and a temperature and humidity probe. An approximate data reduction technique was also found for this specific ensemble to eliminate the simultaneous rain water component from the fog water measurements. Main results indicate that fog water collection holds significant potential in this region, and especially for southern locations. Annual rates of fog water yield can be as high as 7.0 l/m²/day in the southern locations, in contrast to 2.0 l/m²/day collected at one site in a northern location. The highest summer fog water yield was 4.6 l/m²/day, a relatively large value. Except for the summer period, fog episodes delivering sizeable water volumes are inherently coupled to rainfall. Hourly frequencies of fog collection were also examined to show a distinct daily cycle in summer, denoting orographic fog formation during this period. Lastly, winds were analysed to resolve the most suitable directions for fog collector alignment.
