大气悬浮颗粒物粒谱分析研究

本文对大气悬浮颗粒物的测量是利用半导体激光器,通过镜片组形成双光斑,当颗粒物经过双光斑时发生散射,由雪崩二极管检测散射光形成双峰信号,双峰间距即为待测粒子通过双光斑时的飞行时间,利用飞行时间可得到相应的粒径大小. 大量的实验表明空气中的粒谱呈正态高斯分布,这点与理论分析结果相一致.     

A method for detecting the diffusion of silver iodide particles in the atmosphere

Summary A technique is described which allows the study of the concentration of silver-iodide particles produced by a ground generator. It consists of marking these particles with Iodine 131, then filtering the air at the required places with air-borne filters. The iodine is extracted chemically, concentrated in a very small silver iodide disc which is then placed upon a nulcear emulsion. After two weeks the activity is measured by electron track counting. Limitations of the method are given.The paper has been published in extenso in the «Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik and Physik» (ZAMP), XIa, p. 375, 1958.     

Removal of aerosol particles from the atmosphere by growing cloud droplets

Summary When a vapor pressure gradient exists in air containing suspended particulate matter, the particles are propelled toward the region of lower vapor pressure by molecular bombardment of vapor molecules. It has been proposed that this effect is important as a process for removing the particles of natural aerosols from the air surrounding growing cloud droplets.This effect has been investigated experimentally by observing the removal of artificial aerosol particles form an experimental chamber in which a known vapor pressure gradient was established. The velocities imparted to particles under the action of a vapor pressure gradient were determined. The results of the measurements were used to calculate the rate of removal of particles in the vicinity of growing cloud droplets. It was concluded that less than 1% of the particles in the region would be removed during the growth of a typical cloud.This work has been submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science.     

大气中冰水两相粒子的电磁散射特性研究

为了研究大气中冰水两种相态共同存在时粒子的电磁散射特性,本文从Aden-Kerker散射理论出发,分别计算了外包水膜冰球和外包冰膜水球在S波段、C波段和X波段的电磁散射特性,讨论外层覆膜相态和厚度对粒子散射特性的影响;并在MP粒子谱分布和Gamma粒子谱分布的基础上,讨论了融化冰球和冻雨群粒子在S波段、C波段和X波段的衰减、散射、吸收和后向散射特性.结果表明,粒子的衰减截面和后向散射截面并不随外包膜厚度的增大呈现单调变化的趋势,而是与粒子的尺度参数有关,且在不同波段呈现不同的变化特征;融化冰球和过冷却雨的衰减系数、散射系数、吸收系数和后向散射系数与频率和降水强度呈正相关关系,其中MP分布的传播系数要比Gamma分布的传播系数大.此结论对于研究冰水两相粒子对电磁波的散射机制、提高天气雷达探测精度、改善冰水两相粒子的探测效果等具有重要意义.     

On the stationary charge distribution on aerosol particles in a bipolar ionic atmosphere

Summary By the «limiting sphere» method the combination coefficients for gaseous ions and aerosol particles were calculated, allowing for the jump in ion concentration at the surface of the particles. Hence the stationary charge distribution on aerosol particles in a symmetrical bipolar ionic atmosphere was determined. The use of the Boltzmann equation for this purpose proposed by some authors is theoretically wrong asthis equation applies to equilibrium rather than to stationary states. In practice, the Boltzmann equation can be used for particles with radius 3·10^–5 cm (under atmospheric pressure). Within this range the image forces and the jump in ion concentration may be neglected. The conditions of the applicability of the steady diffusion equations to the theory of the stationary charge distribution in aerosols are discussed.     

藻源性湖泛水体显黑颗粒的元素形态分析与鉴定

湖泛现象是我国超富营养化浅水湖泊面临的最严峻环境问题之一,水体发黑、发臭是湖泛水体最显著和基本的物理特征.针对太湖湖泛显黑颗粒缺乏从元素形态直接给出证据的问题,针对室内模拟藻体和沉积物存在下形成的湖泛水体,采用多种图谱分析技术,对厌氧截留分离的显黑颗粒物质及其化学组成和元素形态进行了分析鉴定.扫描电镜-X射线能谱分析与荧光光谱分析表明:湖泛水体显黑颗粒物质以藻类残体和悬浮沉积物颗粒物为主,其组成元素以C、O、Si为主;与未发生湖泛的对照样相比,湖泛水体显黑颗粒物样品中具有更高的Fe、S含量.X射线光电子能谱Fe、S微区分析进一步表明:湖泛显黑颗粒物样品中Fe主要以Fe(Ⅱ)的形式存在、S则以还原态S2-的形式赋存,两者具有共同化合成Fe S的充要条件.因此,缺氧厌氧条件下,湖泛水体的显黑物质组成是Fe S,它可由水体中Fe2+和ΣS2-通过化学共沉淀形成,并主要通过吸附于悬浮颗粒物之上而使得整个水柱呈现黑色,指示湖泛的暴发过程和维持状态.     

Impact of different energies of precipitating particles on NOx generation in the middle and upper atmosphere during geomagnetic storms

Energetic particle precipitation couples the solar wind to the Earth's atmosphere and indirectly to Earth's climate. Ionisation and dissociation increases, due to particle precipitation, create odd nitrogen (NO_x) and odd hydrogen (HO_X) in the upper atmosphere, which can affect ozone chemistry. The long-lived NO_x can be transported downwards into the stratosphere, particularly during the polar winter. Thus, the impact of NO_x is determined by both the initial ionisation production, which is a function of the particle flux and energy spectrum, as well as transport rates. In this paper, we use the Sodankylä Ion and Neurtal Chemistry (SIC) model to simulate the production of NO_x from examples of the most representative particle flux and energy spectra available today of solar proton events (SPE), auroral energy electrons, and relativistic electron precipitation (REP). Large SPEs are found to produce higher initial NO_x concentrations than long-lived REP events, which themselves produce higher initial NO_x levels than auroral electron precipitation. Only REP microburst events were found to be insignificant in terms of generating NO_x. We show that the Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars (GOMOS) observations from the Arctic winter 2003–2004 are consistent with NO_x generation by a combination of SPE, auroral altitude precipitation, and long-lived REP events.     

The effect of ordered vertical velocities and of the Earth's surface on the trajectories of particles of polluted air in the atmosphere

Summary The possibilities of improving of the construction of trajectories of air particles polluted by antropogeneous admixtures are discussed. With this in view attention is devoted to the ordered vertical velocities of dynamic origin and a simple method of approximate construction of the trajectories in the boundary layer of the atmosphere, where the flow is markedly affected by the Earth's surface, is discussed.     

Hydrocarbons in the atmosphere

Trace concentrations of highly reactive hydrocarbons of biogenic origin have been proposed for some time as being important in aerosol formation processes in the atmosphere. More recently, assessments of potential photochemical reactions in the troposphere have proposed a role in the atmospheric ozone cycle for hydrocarbons, even for compounds such as methane that had previously been considered nonreactive. An assessment of the atmospheric hydrocarbon reaction system has been limited by a lack of observational information on the nature of conditions in the remote or non-urban atmosphere. Recent data on terpene concentrations and other biogenic hydrocarbon compounds are presented. Data on ethane and acetylene from aircraft samples taken over the north and south Pacific Ocean show concentrations in the 0.5 to 1 /m³ range for ethane and in the 0.05 to 0.3 g/m³ range for acetylene. A concentration gradient is present for these compounds between the northern and southern hemisphere. A rudimentary global concentration pattern for these C₂ compounds has been developed on the basis of recent data.     

Acoustic-gravity modons in the atmosphere

It is shown that the equations governing low-frequency acoustic-gravity waves in a stable stratified atmosphere can have localized dipole-vortex solutions (modons). They propagate in the horizontal direction with a speed that is larger than that of all possible linear internal waves.

A thermal cycle in the atmosphere

Summary It is shown that in order for a steady-state closed circulation to be maintained in the atmosphere, the working of the pressure force on a particle moving round the closed circuit is exactly balanced by the working of the particle against friction. It is concluded that sources of heat are associated with low surface pressure, and sinks with high surface pressure. This association of sources and sinkswith low and high surface pressure is verified, for circulations ranging in scale from that associated with an individual cumulus cloud to large-scale monsoonal systems.     

Surface ozone in the aretic atmosphere

Near-surface atmospheric ozone measurements were carried out at Barrow, Alaska (71°, 19N, 156°W), from January 1965 to September 1967. Ozone was continuously monitored by microcoulombmetric analysis at a level 2 m above the ground. Daily ozone concentrations near the ground varied from 7 to less than 1 pphm by volume. Highest concentrations occurred in the spring and showed sharp increases lasting from several hours to a few days. These sudden rises in ozone concentration correlated with storm front passages. The concentration of surface ozone from late spring through the sumer and fall showed less variability from day to day than in the spring. The lowest ozone concentrations occurred from late May to early June.     

On sea-salt nuclei in the atmosphere

Summary The residues of cloud droplets collected at the summit of a mountain were examined with an electron microscope and their materials were identified with the aid of micro-electron-diffraction method. About 30% of nuclei of cloud droplets larger than 5 in radius were mainly composed of sodium chloride and their masses were 10^–1210^–13 gr. We also found salt particles in snow crystals. Some discussions are made about the process of the capture of these particles by snow crystals.     

Vortex streets in the earth's atmosphere

Summary Calculations of the Heisenberg parameter and Strouhal number, for mesoscale vortex streets in the atmosphere, support the analogy with the classical Kármán vortex wake. Revised estimates of the horizontal coefficient of eddy diffusion are obtained.     

Existence of the atmosphere attractor

The global asymptotic behavior of solutions for the equations of large scale atmospheric motion with the non-stationary external forcing is studied in the infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Based on the properties of operators of the equations, some energy inequalities and the uniqueness theorem of solutions are obtained. On the assumption that external forces are bounded, the exsitence of the global absorbing set and the atmosphere attractor is proved, and the characteristics of the decay of effect of initial field and the adjustment to the external forcing are revealed. The physical sense of the results is discussed and some ideas about climatic numerical forecast are elucidated Work supported by the State Key Research Project on Dynamics and Predictive Theory of the Climate.
