北京冬季大风过程大气边界层特征分析

利用北京中国科学院大气物理研究所325 m气象观测塔的气象梯度资料和湍流资料,分析了2014年11月29日至12月5日北京两次大风过程中气象要素和湍流输送特征的变化。第一次大风过程的强度和持续时间均高于第二次大风过程。强烈的风速垂直切变主要集中在距地面100 m高度范围内,最强风速垂直切变达到0.31 s~(-1)。大风过程中,阵风系数呈现随高度减小的趋势,越接近地面,阵风系数愈大。阵风强度的变化与阵风系数相似,100 m以下高度时,阵风强度随高度增大而减小。大风过程自上而下改变边界层结构,平均动能、湍流动能和摩擦速度最先从上层(280 m)发生变化且迅速增加。近地层由于风速垂直梯度的显著差异,近地层垂直方向的湍流强度最大。大风时各功率谱在低频区(0.01 s~(-1))达到峰值,大风过后各高度的能量都有所下降。     

Observations and Modelling of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Sea-Ice in a Svalbard Fjord

Sonic anemometer and profile mast measurements made in Wahlenbergfjorden, Svalbard Arctic archipelago, in May 2006 and April 2007 were employed to study the atmospheric boundary layer over sea-ice. The turbulent surface fluxes of momentum and sensible heat were calculated using eddy correlation and gradient methods. The results showed that the literature-based universal functions underestimated turbulent mixing in strongly stable conditions. The validity of the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory was questionable for cross-fjord flow directions and in the presence of mesoscale variability or topographic effects. The aerodynamic roughness length showed a dependence on the wind direction. The mean roughness length for along-fjord wind directions was (2.4 ± 2.6) × 10⁻⁴ m, whereas that for cross-fjord directions was (5.4 ± 2.8) × 10⁻³ m. The thermal stratification and turbulent fluxes were affected by the synoptic situation with large differences between the 2 years. Channelling effects and drainage flows occurred especially during a weak large-scale flow. The study periods were simulated applying the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with 1-km horizontal resolution in the finest domain. The results for the 2-m air temperature and friction velocity were good, but the model failed to reproduce the spatial variability in wind direction between measurement sites 3 km apart. The model suggested that wind shear above the stable boundary layer provided a non-local source for the turbulence observed.     

夏季北京城市大气边界层湍流通量的塔层观测

利用2003年8月13～26日期间中国科学院大气物理研究所大气边界层气象塔47、120和280 m 3层高度上三维风速和温度脉动的观测资料,结合涡动相关方法,分析了夏季北京市城市下垫面的动量和感热等湍流通量。结果表明：3层高度上动量通量和感热通量的日变化彼此非常接近, 且3层高度上最大感热通量达到200～250 W·m-2。观测期间盛行南风,120 m高度的水平风速小于10 m·s-1。同时分析了由慢响应传感器采集的15个高度上的气温和8个高度上的相对湿度。结果表明：受地表加热影响,320 m高度上气温和相对湿度的日变化非常显著。不同高度上动量通量和感热通量的比较表明：城市下垫面的空气动力不均匀性比热力不均匀性显著。用廓线法计算了32和65 m高度之间的湍流通量,结果表明：1）夏季晴好天气情况下,北京城市下垫面能量输送以感热为主;2）由廓线法计算得到的动量通量、感热通量和由涡动相关法直接测量结果相近。此外还初步讨论了大气边界层温度、湿度垂直廓线随时间的演变。     

Numerical Study of the Neutral Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Complex Terrain

We evaluate the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations available as commercial computational fluid dynamics code for the simulation of a neutral atmospheric boundary layer and attempt to define a proper numerical simulation procedure. Four turbulence models, including two-equation and Reynolds stress models, were evaluated together with two near-wall models. Mesh and map digitization sensitivity tests were also performed. The simulations were compared to experimental field data from the Askervein Hill in Scotland. The results show that the simulations performed with ANSYS CFX 12.1 on a proper mesh and topological map with a Reynolds stress turbulence model provided the best wind-speed predictions when compared to the experimental results.     

Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over a Uniform Slope: Some Theoretical Concepts

Theoretical arguments are developed to describe the effects of a uniform slope on the development of the stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer (SBL). A maximum sustainable surface buoyancy flux exists for the SBL overlying a uniform, non-sloping surface. In this study it is shown that the SBL overlying a uniform shallow slope (with gradient of the order of 1:1000) also supports a maximum sustainable buoyancy flux, B _max, but that the value of B _max is influenced by the gradient of the slope, γ. It is demonstrated that in the limit γ → 0, results for the SBL over a horizontal surface are recovered.

利用“全球协调加强观测计划(CEOP)亚澳季风之青藏高原试验”(CAMP／Tibet)2002年8月预试验期间(PLOP)藏北高原观测站(BJ站和安尼站)的无线电探空仪的探空资料,分析了藏北那曲地区的大气边界层位温、比湿、风速的日变化特征及稳定边界层和对流边界层特征。结果表明,藏北那曲地区边界层日变化大,对流混合层高度最高可达1800m,下雨天形成对流边界层的时间晚于阴天和晴天的时间。     

上海地区大气气溶胶光学特性的初步研究

上海是东亚重要的沿海城市之一,其上空大气气溶胶光学特性的研究对了解上海及我国东部沿海地区的环境和气候影响等方面都具有重要性,至今尚无这方面的实际观测分析。本工作利用2000年6月到2002年12月之间测得的上海地区太阳直接辐照度数据,分析之后得出大气气溶胶光学厚度值,并统计分析了大气气溶胶光学厚度的季节变化及其与地面能见度的关系,最后给出了气溶胶消光谱。通过上述工作,发现上海地区大气气溶胶光学厚度具有夏季最大,春季次之,冬季最小的相对稳定的特点。此外,地面能见度及其倒数作为一个相对容易获得的参数,与大气气溶胶的光学厚度具有较好的相关性,可以考虑将其倒数作为一个约束气溶胶光学厚度分布的物理参数,这对今后的观测和研究都具有一定的实际意义。     

洱海湖滨大气边界层结构及特征分析

利用JICA计划中日合作2008年季风过程与暴雨天气上游关键区综合气象观测试验期间在大理国家气候观象台的GPS探空加密观测资料,分析了洱海湖滨区大气边界层厚度、位温、比湿、风速、风向的垂直结构。结果表明,洱海湖滨大气边界层结构具有显著的日变化特征,边界层厚度日变化较大,对流边界层厚度在190～2500 m之间,平均厚度为1061 m;稳定边界层厚度在60～1760 m之间,平均厚度为467 m。无论在干季还是在湿季,大约在2400 m以上,气流主要受大尺度的大气环流的控制,以西风气流为主。在2400 m以下,气流主要受苍山和洱海的影响,可能存在着山谷风和湖陆风两者叠加效应引起的局地环流。大约在500 m以下,白天多为东风和东南风,夜间多为西风和西南风。     

天津一次雾过程的边界层特征研究

雾作为边界层内一种特殊的天气现象与边界层结构有着密切联系。本文利用天津边界层梯度观测平台分析2010年11月28日至12月2日一次雾过程的边界层结构特征。结果表明:此次过程雾Ⅰ阶段水汽最先在离地面80～100 m的高度凝结,雾Ⅱ(平流雾)阶段水汽由上往下传输;雾Ⅰ前,大气有明显的逆温,雾Ⅱ前大气处于不稳定状态,雾中大气趋于中性,在雾变薄过程中,边界层气象塔可观测到雾顶的强逆温;雾中长波辐射达到平衡,净长波辐射为0,可用此区分水雾和霾;雾对光化学烟雾有抑制作用,NO_x和小粒子会出现累积,影响人体健康。     

纳木错湖夏季典型大气边界层特征的数值模拟

为了进一步检验分析纳木错湖对当地地方性环流、湖气能量交换及大气边界层的影响,在本文中使用美国NCAR新版MM5V3.7非静力中尺度模式,设计了有湖面、3/4湖面、1/2湖面及无湖四组试验,以NCEP再分析资料做初、边值条件,做了48 h三重嵌套模拟试验,对比中国科学院"纳木错圈层相互作用"综合观测站实测资料,说明该模式模拟性能良好。白天在纳木错湖风与念青唐古拉山北坡谷风共同作用下,在念青唐古拉山脊处汇合,形成一强水平切变及辐合上升运动,造成了该地夏季白天复杂多变的天气;夜间由于南岸湖风与山风叠加,使得整个区域为强大南风气流控制,这也补给了水汽和热量,也为白天不稳定运动提供了能量。对大气边界层特征的模拟结果表明:由于白天(夜晚)纳木错湖的存在有很好的降温(保温)作用,该湖表现出了明显的冷(暖)湖效应;纳木错湖对感热和潜热的影响有很强的日变化,白天湖面感热、潜热均小于周围陆地,夜间湖面有强潜热通量;纳木错湖使得白天湖区边界层顶低,陆区边界层顶高,夜间相反。这样的地方性环流和大气边界层特征的配合,是该地中小尺度天气剧烈变化的重要原因。     

北京城市化发展对大气边界层特性的影响

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所大气边界层物理与大气化学国家重点实验室的北京325 m气象塔1993年～2003年夏季 (7月～9月) 的观测资料, 统计分析了各年的风速与温度廓线分布特征。统计分析结果表明, 随着城市化的发展, 相对风速有逐年减小的趋势, 并且越靠近地面, 相对风速的减小越明显, 这反映了城市建筑对近地面层空气流动的摩擦作用。对风速廓线进行线性拟合得到风速随高度的垂直递增率, 发现无论是100 m以下的近地面层还是较高层, 风速的垂直递增率都随城市化发展存在逐年增大的趋势, 表明粗糙下垫面的影响已经向高层扩展。根据温度廓线计算了各年的温度垂直递减率, 发现其有增大的趋势, 这表明城市化发展对边界层热力结构同样有显著影响。本文还依据统计整理得到的近中性层结下的风速廓线资料, 利用莫宁-奥布霍夫相似理论计算了下垫面的空气动力学参数, 结果表明, 地表粗糙度、 零平面位移随着城市化发展皆有明显增加的趋势。同时, 分析了各空气动力学参数与平均风速及无量纲风速的关系。其中, 摩擦速度和平均风速二者基本成正相关, 且摩擦速度随平均风速的增大而增大的趋势越发明显。本文研究结果对研究城市化发展对区域大气边界层结构、 气候和环境影响有参考意义, 可为城市大气边界层模式和区域气候模式提供参数化依据。     

Turbulent Helicity in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

We consider the assumption postulated by Deusebio and Lindborg (J Fluid Mech 755:654–671, 2014) that the helicity injected into the Ekman boundary layer undergoes a cascade, with preservation of its sign (right- or alternatively left-handedness), which is a signature of the system rotation, from large to small scales, down to the Kolmogorov microscale of turbulence. At the same time, recent direct field measurements of turbulent helicity in the steppe region of southern Russia near Tsimlyansk Reservoir show the opposite sign of helicity from that expected. A possible explanation for this phenomenon may be the joint action of different scales of atmospheric flows within the boundary layer, including the sea-breeze circulation over the test site. In this regard, we consider a superposition of the classic Ekman spiral solution and Prandtl’s jet-like slope-wind profile to describe the planetary boundary-layer wind structure. The latter solution mimics a hydrostatic shallow breeze circulation over a non-uniformly heated surface. A 180°-wide sector on the hodograph plane exists, within which the relative orientation of the Ekman and Prandtl velocity profiles favours the left rotation with height of the resulting wind velocity vector in the lowermost part of the boundary layer. This explains the negative (left-handed) helicity cascade toward small-scale turbulent motions, which agrees with the direct field measurements of turbulent helicity in Tsimlyansk. A simple turbulent relaxation model is proposed that explains the measured positive values of the relatively minor contribution to turbulent helicity from the vertical components of velocity and vorticity.     

Gaseous and Particulate Oxidized and Reduced Nitrogen Species in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer in Scandinavia in Spring

Observations of the concentration of several nitrogen containing compounds at five rural Scandinavian sites during March–June 1993 are reported. Total nitrate (NO ₃ ^- + HNO₃) and total ammonium (NH ₄ ⁺ + NH₃) were measured by denuder and filter pack. In general the methods agree well. At all sites the particulate fraction dominated, with the largest fraction of NO ₃ ^- and the lowest of NH ₄ ⁺ at the sites which were closest to the emission sources. The fraction of NO ₃ ^- of total nitrate increased with increasing NO₂ concentrations, indicating that the nighttime conversion of NO₂ to NO ₃ ^- is an important route of formation for NO ₃ ^- . A positive correlation was found between HNO₃ and O₃ in June at all sites, while no correlation was found early in the spring. Model calculations were made with a lagrangian boundary layer photooxidant model for the whole period, and compared to the measured concentrations. The calculated ratio between mean observed and modelled daily maximum concentrations of ozone over the measurement period were within +/–10% at all sites. The models ability to describe the daily ozone maximum concentration was satisfactory with an average deviation of 19–22% from the observed concentrations. HNO₃ was underestimated by over 50% at all sites except the one closest to the emission sources. The correlation between modelled and observed concentrations was generally best for the sites with shortest transport distance from the sources of emission.     

宜昌冬季两次降水过程大气边界层的观测分析

利用宜昌2007年12月10-25日的加密观测资料,分析了两次低值系统经过宜昌时大气边界层的温湿风廓线结构及其日变化特征。结果表明：位温廓线具有明显的日变化特征,对流边界层在白天出现和发展,其高度可达600m,而稳定边界层在夜间出现和发展,其高度可达300m,降水会抑制对流边界层和稳定边界层的发展;湿度廓线结构及其日变化与对流边界层的发展有关,总体上湿度随高度减小,贴近地面的薄层湿度随高度减小较快,而混合层内湿度随高度变化较小,出现降水时,近地层的湿度有明显增加,大气边界层内湿度随高度快速平稳减小;风速廓线结构比较复杂,总体上风速随高度增大,在大气边界层低层有时会出现一个风速极大值,风速廓线没有明显的日变化特征,大气边界层内风向变化较大,但以偏东风为主。     

珠峰地区大气边界层结构及近地层能量交换分析

复杂地形城市冬季边界层气溶胶扩散和分布模拟

着眼于城市冬季气溶胶扩散特征问题,针对地形复杂的兰州市及周边地区,开发了WRF模式,使之与包含了大气气溶胶辐射效应和气溶胶粒子扩散的综合大气边界层数值模式嵌套,以模拟城市冬季边界层气溶胶的扩散和分布规律。通过一个个例的模拟结果分析,揭示了兰州冬季气溶胶的扩散分布的如下特征;市区盆地内100 m以下存在东、西两个浓度高值中心,中心值为0.6~3.0 mg.m-3,往上浓度递减,1000 m高度处仅为0.02 mg.m-3。受排放源强、源高、气象场等因素的共同影响,白天盆地内气溶胶浓度随高度和时间的变化强烈,白天浓度随时间最大变化幅度为1.0 mg.m-3。气溶胶输送扩散高度可达到600~800 m,此高度以上浓度值很小。代表性测点上模拟的气溶胶浓度廓线表明,中午浓度达到最高,垂直扩散最强。这些结果与以往的烟雾层高度观测和气溶胶光学厚度观测结果吻合。夜间,盆地内气溶胶浓度随高度和时间的变化减弱,气溶胶输送扩散高度在400~500m,夜间浓度随时间变化平均幅度为0.05 mg.m-3。

复杂地形城市冬季边界层对气溶胶辐射效应的响应

作者着眼于城市气溶胶辐射效应与大气边界层的相互作用问题,针对地形复杂的兰州市及周边地区,开发应用了WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting,天气研究和预报)模式,使之与包含了大气气溶胶辐射效应和气溶胶粒子扩散的综合大气边界层数值模式嵌套起来.通过个例分析,揭示了冬季气溶胶辐射效应对边界层结构的定量影响.主要特征为夜间气溶胶的长波辐射效应使地面附近的气温增高,增温幅度为0.1～0.3 K/h,使低空(25～300 m)大气层冷却,降温幅度为0.08～0.15 K/h,风速在150 m以下减小;白天气溶胶的短波辐射效应使地面层内明显增温,1 h内升温约0.5 K,增温最大值在混合层顶500～600 m高度.受增温影响,垂直风场和水平风场随之调整,风速在450 m以下增大约0.1 m/s左右,而在450 m以上风速减小0.1 m/s左右.     

Small-Scale Variability in the Coastal Atmospheric Boundary Layer

The influence of the main large-scale wind directions on thermally driven mesoscale circulations at the Baltic southwest coast, southeast of Sweden, is examined. The aim of the study is to highlight small-scale alterations in the coastal atmospheric boundary layer. A numerical three-dimensional mesoscale model is used in this study, which is focused on an overall behaviour of the coastal jets, drainage flows, sea breezes, and a low-level eddy-type flow in particular. It is shown that synoptic conditions, together with the moderate terrain of the southeast of Sweden (max. height h₀ 206 m), governs the coastal mesoscale dynamics triggered by the land-sea temperature difference T. The subtle nature of coastal low-level jets and sea breezes is revealed; their patterns are dictated by the interplay between synoptic airflow, coastline orientation, and T.The simulations show that coastal jets typically occur during nighttime and vary in height, intensity and position with respect to the coast; they interact with downslope flows and the background wind. For the assigned land surface temperature (varying ±8 K from the sea temperature) and the opposing constant geostrophic wind 8 m s^-1, the drainage flow is more robust to the opposing ambient flow than the sea breeze later on. Depending on the part of the coast under consideration, and the prevailing ambient wind, the sea breeze can be suppressed or enhanced, stationary at the coast or rapidly penetrating inland, locked up in phase with another dynamic system or almost independently self-evolving. A low-level eddy structure is analyzed. It is governed by tilting, divergence and horizontal advection terms. The horizontal extent of the coastal effects agrees roughly with the Rossby radius of deformation.
