基于激光雷达和微波辐射计观测确定混合层高度方法的比较

利用苏州地区2010年1月4,7,16日和2月4日4天的激光雷达及微波辐射计观测资料,比较了不同遥感手段探测晴天大气混合层高度的差异,发现试验期间该地区的混合层高度在300~1500 m之间。利用梯度法、标准偏差法、小波法从激光雷达数据中提取混合层高度并进行了对比,结果表明三种方法都能较好地反演混合层高度并且一致性较好,三者差异主要存在于大气边界层的发展和消亡阶段;梯度法和小波法结果无明显差异,而标准偏差法结果稍高于其他方法。在此基础上,利用微波辐射计探测的大气温度,使用温度梯度法估算大气混合层高度,并与激光雷达探测结果进行了比较,结果表明,大多数情况下激光雷达探测结果高于微波辐射计观测结果;两种遥感手段有较好的相关性,相关系数为0.76。激光雷达同微波辐射计结果存在差异,尤其是在边界层的发展和消散阶段,这是由两种遥感手段探测原理不同造成的。     

激光雷达与微波辐射计联合观测大气边界层高度变化

为了研究苏州地区大气边界层结构的日变化及季节特征,利用2014年1—7月期间大气颗粒物激光雷达对苏州上空大气气溶胶进行了连续观测。选定2014年1月15日、3月16日、5月7日与7月22日全天的消光系数探测数据,通过优化后的梯度法得到了该地区的大气边界层高度,分析了其日变化特征,并分析了边界层高度与地表的温湿变化之间的相关性。结果表明除1月15日外,边界层的变化与地表温度存在明显的正相关,而与地表的相对湿度存在负相关。同时,对站点微波辐射计观测得到的温湿廓线与边界层内消光系数廓线进行了联合研究。研究结果表明,微波辐射计湿度垂直廓线与激光雷达消光系数廓线探测得到的边界层具有良好的一致性。     

地基微波辐射计探测大气边界层高度方法

采用2013年中国科学院大气物理研究所香河大气综合观测试验站的地基微波辐射计和激光雷达观测数据,以激光雷达探测的大气边界层高度为参考,分别利用非线性神经网络和多元线性回归方法建立微波亮温直接反演大气边界层高度的算法,并对比两种方法的反演能力, 同时分析非线性神经网络算法在不同时段及不同天气状况下反演结果的差异。结果表明:非线性神经网络算法的反演能力优于多元线性回归算法,其反演结果与激光雷达探测的大气边界层高度有较好一致性,冬、春季的相关系数达到0.83,反演精度比线性回归算法约高26%;对于不同时段和不同天气条件,春季的反演结果最好,晴空的反演结果好于云天; 四季和不同天气状况的划分也有利于提高反演精度。     

气溶胶激光雷达和无线电探空观测边界层高度的对比分析

利用北京地区2017年11月至2018年1月连续3个月的激光雷达资料和无线电探空数据,按照清洁天、污染天和多云天3种天气条件,对大气边界层高度的计算方法和结果进行对比分析。结果表明,基于激光雷达消光系数的梯度法、标准差法和小波法都能够较好地提取边界层高度。清洁天标准差法计算的边界层高度高于梯度法和小波法,08:00（当地时间,下同）和20:00由无线电探空得到的清洁天边界层高度平均值分别为1176 m和1224 m。污染天标准差法的计算结果要低于梯度法和小波法,污染天无线电探空得到的边界层高度平均值约为956 m,和清洁天相比降低了两百多米,重污染时最低降低至562 m,逆温层高度和PM2.5浓度具有明显的反相关关系。有云时,梯度法和小波法确定的边界层高度和云高非常接近,标准差法计算的结果略低。总体而言,气溶胶激光雷达计算的边界层高度随着污染等级的提高没有明显的降低趋势,相反在重度污染情况下反而有所增加,这可能是由于污染物的不断堆积导致的。梯度法确定的边界层高度易受到污染物传输过程的影响,略高于逆温层高度。另外,激光雷达确定的边界层高度受到残留层影响时,也会高于逆温层。     

激光雷达反演边界层高度方法评估及在北京的应用

边界层高度是影响大气边界层发展和空气污染程度的重要因子,是环境和气候研究的重要参数。本文利用激光雷达对北京地区2011年5月至2012年4月的边界层高度进行探测分析,采用小波协方差方法反演边界层高度,评估了该方法的适用性。得到基于小波协方差方法自动判断边界层高度的最优参数组合,激光雷达与飞机探测结果对比一致性较好;与探空结果相关系数0.88,激光雷达反演的边界层高度略偏高。当激光雷达的垂直分辨率为30 m时,更加适合北京地区的步长和阈值分别为210 m和0.05;当激光雷达的垂直分辨率为15 m时,步长和阈值分别为135 m和0.05。分析期间,不同季节边界层高度日变化有明显的不同,夏季14:00（北京时）左右达到最高,较高的边界层高度可维持3~4 h,平均可达1.30 km;冬季较高边界层高度只能维持2 h左右,平均为1.08 km。有云与无云天气边界层日变化特征以及边界层高度存在显著的差异,云的存在减少了到达地面的直接辐射,抑制了湍流的发展,进一步抑制了边界层的发展;本文也将激光雷达反演边界层高度结果应用于观测时期边界层高度与地面污染的关系研究中,统计得到边界层高度与PM2.5浓度的相关系数为－0.340。     

利用激光雷达结合数值模式估算兰州远郊榆中地区夏季边界层高度

用激光雷达资料,采用小波变化法反演兰州远郊榆中地区兰州大学半干旱气候与环境观测站(SACOL)的边界层高度,并利用WRF中尺度数值模式,选取两种不同边界层参数化方案(YSU、MYJ)模拟了该地区边界层及其高度.分析表明激光雷达反演边界层高度与WRF模拟边界层高度结果基本一致;WRF选用YSU方案能较好反映热对流边界层,而MYJ方案对于动力作用边界层模拟较好.日出后08:00(北京时间,下同)SACOL不稳定边界层开始发展,17:00达到最大高度.热对流边界层可以达到2 km;动力作用边界层可达到1.5 km,之后热对流边界层下降速度明显高于动力作用边界层.     

基于激光雷达资料的气溶胶辐射效应研究

利用新型激光雷达气溶胶探测资料及综合数值模式,以地形复杂的兰州市及周边地区冬季典型天气形势下的大气边界层为研究对象,通过理想试验模拟研究了城市气溶胶辐射效应与大气边界层的相互作用。结果表明:夜间,低空(50~600 m)气溶胶所在气层冷却效应明显,温度降低0.13~0.18℃,600 m高度以上,气溶胶浓度较低,其冷却效应较小,温度降低不足0.1℃;白天,受气溶胶短波辐射效应影响,边界层内增温明显,增温最大值位于低层脱地逆温层顶300 m高度附近,600 m以上由于气溶胶浓度减小,加热率亦降低,增温由0.2℃减至0.1℃。此外,气溶胶的存在使得所在层的风速降低。可见,激光雷达探测资料在边界层模式中有很好的应用价值,对于研究气溶胶辐射效应的大气边界层响应有重要意义。     

激光雷达和微波辐射计温湿度廓线与探空数据的对比分析

基于西安泾河国家气象站2021年微波辐射计、西安理工大学研制的大气温湿度廓线激光雷达等设备观测数据反演计算0～10 km 以下的温湿度，通过与探空资料的对比分别评估了微波辐射计和激光雷达的探测性能。结果表明，二者反演的温度均与探空数据具有较好的一致性，激光雷达反演的温度和探空温度的相关系数为0997，均方根误差在15～25 K之间，微波辐射计反演的温度和探空温度的相关系数为0973，均方根误差在15～50 K之间；在反演相对湿度方面激光雷达优于微波辐射计，激光雷达反演的相对湿度和探空相对湿度的相关系数为0964，均方根误差在5%～15%之间，微波辐射计反演的相对湿度和探空相对湿度的相关系数为0632，均方根误差在20%左右。     

基于激光雷达资料的小波变换法反演边界层高度的方法

利用小波变换法反演边界层高度时,不同小波母函数的选取可能得到不同的边界层高度。因此,对构造的白天及夜间激光雷达后向散射信号理想廓线进行Haar小波协方差变换,并对后向散射信号梯度廓线进行Morlet与Mexican Hat小波变换反演边界层高度。结果表明,宜采用Haar函数与Mexican Hat函数作为小波母函数,其中Haar函数准确性优于Mexican Hat函数,而Mexican Hat函数更易稳定。同时为了进一步检验3种小波变换法的反演结果对小波振幅的敏感性,通过改变小波母函数的小波振幅,发现无论是理想廓线还是叠加扰动的廓线,较大的小波振幅易得到比较稳定准确的白天边界层高度与夜间混合层高度。     

边界层气溶胶气候效应的研究

用三维气候模式模拟了边界层气溶胶的气候效应。结果表明，边界层气溶胶可使大气和地表的气候状态发生明显的变化。３００ｈＰ以下气柱中气温升高，地表和土壤温度降低。在气溶胶光学厚度较大的沙漠区上空，水平风场出现气旋性差值环流，垂直上升运动也发生较多变化。降水变化与３００ｈＰａ上垂直运动的变化有很好的正相关。同时讨论了气溶胶气候效应的物理机制。     

CHARACTERISTICS OF BOUNDARY LAYER AND ITS EFFECTS ON ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL CONCENTRATIONS IN DONGGUAN, GUANGDONG

The structure of atmospheric boundary layer determines the ability of atmospheric dispersion and has an essential impact on airborne aerosols. In this paper, the data of a radio sounding experiment held in Dongguan National Meteorological Observation Station, which is in a coastal city in Pearl River Delta, as well as the data of atmospheric aerosols, were utilized in order to analyze the characteristics of atmospheric boundary layer and its effects on surface aerosol concentrations. The results are showed at follows: the local circulations, associated with dominant winds, made complex structures of atmospheric layers, as the cold air and systematic winds weakened in the end of a cold air event. Weakened wind shears and inversion layers, especially a strong near-surface inversion layer, remarkably diminished the atmospheric diffusion abilities and facilitated an especially high concentration of surface aerosols. The convergence line or weak shear line of sea breeze in the ground level helps weaken the atmospheric diffusion abilities and results in atmospheric aerosols accumulation.

近海与远洋飓风边界层特征高度的差异分析

使用1998—2016年大西洋40个飓风2 032个GPS下投式探空仪观测数据,以距离海岸线300 km为界分为近海和远洋两组,利用合成分析方法探讨了飓风边界层特征高度的差异。边界层特征高度的定义方法包括最大切向风高度、入流层高度、混合层高度和理查森数法高度。对比分析不同定义方法下近海和远洋边界层高度,结果表明：根据最大切向风和入流层强度定义的边界层高度,近海边界层高度低于远洋边界层高度,且近海边界层高度随径向增加至2倍最大风速半径后趋于稳定;基于混合层定义的边界层高度明显低于动力边界层高度,且近海与远洋混合边界层特征高度无明显差异;近海理查森数边界层高度在最大风速半径内与远洋的无明显差异,而在最大风速半径外略高于远洋的。

HEIGHT OF ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER AS DETECTED BY COSMIC GPS RADIO OCCULTATION DATA

The characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer height over the global ocean were studied based on the Constellation Observation System of Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) refractivity data from 2007 to 2012. Results show that the height is much characteristic of seasonal, inter-annual and regional variation. Globally, the spatial distribution of the annual mean top height shows a symmetrical zonal structure, which is more zonal in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. The boundary layer top is highest in the tropics and gradually decreases towards higher latitudes. The height is in a range of 3 to 3.5 km in the tropics, 2 to 2.5 km in the subtropical regions, and 1 to 1.5 km or even lower in middle and high latitudes. The diurnal variation of the top height is not obvious, with the height varying from tens to hundreds of meters. Furthermore, it is different from region to region, some regions have the maximum height during 9:00 to 12:00, others at 15:00 to 18:00.     

VARIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER HEIGHT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PM2.5 CONCENTRATION OVER CHINA

The planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) was calculated using the radiosonde sounding data, including 120 L-band operational sites and 8 GPS sites in China. The diurnal and seasonal variations of PBLH were analyzed using radiosonde sounding (OBS-PBLH) and ERA data (ERA-PBLH). Based on comparison and error analyses, we discussed the main error sources in these data. The frequency distributions of PBLH variations under different regimes (the convective boundary layer, the neutral residual layer, and the stable boundary layer) can be well fitted by a Gamma distribution and the shape parameter k and scale parameter s values were obtained for different regions of China. The variation characteristics of PBLH were found in summer under these three regimes for different regions. The relationships between PBLH and PM2.5 concentration generally follow a power law under very low or no precipitation conditions in the region of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei in summer. The results usually deviated from this power distribution only under strong precipitation or high relative humidity conditions because of the effects of hygroscopic growth of aerosols or wet deposition. The OBS-PBLH provided a reasonable spatial distribution relative to ERA-PBLH. This indicates that OBS-PBLH has the potential for identifying the variation of PM2.5 concentration.

ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER CONCEPT MODEL OF THE PEARL RIVER DELTA AND ITS APPLICATION

Based on the geographical circumstance, climate and the boundary layer meteorology features of the Pearl River Delta, a boundary layer concept model of the Pearl River Delta was built. The concept model consists of four fundamental factors that affect the boundary layer meteorology of the Pearl River Delta and can convincingly explain the reason of the air quality change in the Pearl River Delta. The model can be used to the diffusion capability analysis, the air pollution potential forecasting or haze forecasting, etc.
