On equilibrium profiles of suspended particles

A power law is often used to represent the vertical profile of uniform suspended particles above a horizontally homogeneous surface. It serves as an analytical solution representing an equilibrium between vertical turbulent diffusion and gravitational settling, andcan be used to extract settling velocity information from observed particle number density profiles. In this note, we analyse this situation and use a numerical model to investigate the temporal change of particle number density and of the net vertical flux due to turbulent diffusion and gravitational settling. The results show that the net flux approaches zero very slowly for small particles (w_s/ u_* < 1), and show that the power law does not hold for small particles. If the power law is used to extract settling velocities from observed vertical distributions of particle number density in these cases, the estimated settling velocity may be unrealistically large.     

The dynamic atmospheric structure and the velocity defect profiles in the boundary layer of a neutral atmosphere

The structure of neutral barotropic planetary boundary layers is investigated. The dynamic equations have been numerically solved by an iterative method. Similarity and dissimilarity of the atmospheric boundary layer are explored. The distribution of the velocity defect functions, hypothesized by the similarity theory, is obtained. Comparison between present numerical results, i.e., shear stress, drag coefficient, and cross-isobar angle, and other results and experimental data are made. It appears that the present model is more economical and its results are closer to experimental data than other models. Some properties of the atmospheric structure are inferred directly from the dynamic equations.     

Model evaluation of the atmospheric boundary layer and mixed-layer evolution

In the present study, an attempt is made to assess the atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) depth over an urban area, as derived from different ABL schemes employed by the mesoscale model MM5. Furthermore, the relationship of the mixing height, as depicted by the measurements, to the calculated ABL depth or other features of the ABL structure, is also examined. In particular, the diurnal evolution of ABL depth is examined over the greater Athens area, employing four different ABL schemes plus a modified version, whereby urban features are considered. Measurements for two selected days, when convective conditions prevailed and a strong sea-breeze cell developed, were used for comparison. It was found that the calculated eddy viscosity profile seems to better indicate the mixing height in both cases, where either a deep convective boundary layer develops, or a more confined internal boundary layer is formed. For the urban scheme, the incorporation of both anthropogenic and storage heat release provides promising results for urban applications.

2010年民勤沙地近地面沙尘气溶胶浓度特征

为了更好地研究沙尘气溶胶起沙和输送特征,2010年4—5月,在民勤周边沙地利用EZ LIDAR ALS300&ALS450型激光雷达和 GRIMM 180型颗粒物采样器进行了大气气溶胶的外场连续观测,取得了晴天、浮尘、扬沙和沙尘暴天气条件下沙尘气溶胶总后向散射垂直剖面图和PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM_1.0质量浓度采样资料,其中包含“0424”特强沙尘暴过程资料。结果表明：春季民勤近地层大气中沙尘气溶胶浓度较高,且随气象要素的变化很大;在整个观测期内,PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM_1.0的平均质量浓度分别为202.3、57.4 μg/m³、16.7 μg/m³。在不同天气条件下,PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM_1.0质量浓度的变化有很好的相关性,但变化趋势有所不同。在沙尘暴天气条件下,PM₁₀的日平均质量浓度高达2469.1μg/m³,是背景天气条件下PM10日平均质量浓度的100多倍,是浮尘天气条件下PM10日平均质量浓度的8倍,是扬沙天气条件下PM₁₀日平均质量浓度的2倍。PM_2.5在沙尘暴天气下日平均质量浓度为460.3 μg/m³,是背景天气条件下PM_2.5日平均质量浓度的45倍,是浮尘天气条件下PM_2.5日平均质量浓度的6倍,是扬沙天气条件下PM_2.5日平均质量浓度的1.4倍。PM_1.0在沙尘暴天气条件下的日平均浓度为92.7 μg/m³,是背景天气条件下PM_1.0日平均浓度的13倍,是浮尘天气条件下PM_1.0日平均浓度的7倍,是扬沙天气条件下PM_1.0日平均浓度的1.3倍。可见,风速增大时沙尘粒子浓度的增加对粒子粒径是有选择的,小粒子比重随沙尘浓度增加而相对减小,大粒子比重随沙尘浓度增加而相对增多;通过对“0424”特强沙尘暴过程的研究表明,一次沙尘暴过程往往包括沙尘暴、扬沙和浮尘天气中的两种类型;通过对激光雷达数据分析发现,在强沙尘暴发生过程当中,民勤沙地发生了非常严重的风蚀起沙现象。

基于偏差原则利用MODIS红外资料反演大气廓线以及表层温度

遥感方程或大气辐射传输方程是属于第一类非线性Fredholm积分方程,这类方程的显著特征是不适定的,尤其此类问题解的不稳定性,增加了反演的难度.因此需要研究控制反演不稳定性和提高反演精度的有效方法.为了使解稳定,光滑参数γ作为约束因子是必要的.文中结合牛顿非线性迭代法反演大气廓线,利用偏差原则来最优选择光滑参数γ,即在同步反演大气廓线的同时对γ采用分步迭代的原则.最后利用中分辨率和成像光谱仪(MODIS)红外资料进行反演试验,反演结果表明采用偏差原则选取γ明显优于经验法,反演的表层温度和大气可降水量与美国国家宇航局(NASA)的MOD07产品类似.

WRF模式对青藏高原那曲地区大气边界层模拟适用性研究

采用WRF（Weather Research and Forecasting）模式4种边界层参数化方案对青藏高原那曲地区边界层特征进行了数值模拟,并利用"第三次青藏高原大气科学试验"在青藏高原那曲地区5个站点的观测资料对模拟结果进行验证,分析不同参数化方案在那曲地区的适用性。研究表明,YSU、MYJ、ACM2和BouLac方案对2 m气温和地表温度的模拟偏低。BouLac方案模拟的地表温度偏差较小。通过对能量平衡各分量的对比分析发现,温度模拟偏低可能是向下长波辐射模拟偏低以及感热通量和潜热通量交换过强导致的。对于边界层风、位温和相对湿度垂直结构的模拟,局地方案的模拟效果均优于非局地方案。BouLac方案对那曲地区近地层温度、边界层内位温和相对湿度的垂直分布模拟效果较好。      

登陆台风边界层风廓线特征的地基雷达观测

为了分析登陆台风边界层风廓线特征,利用2004—2013年中国东南沿海新一代多普勒天气雷达收集的17个登陆台风资料,采用飓风速度体积分析方法,反演登陆台风的边界层风场结构特征。与探空观测对比表明,利用雷达径向风场可以准确地反演登陆台风的边界层风场结构,其风速误差小于2 m/s,风向误差小于5°。所有登陆台风合成的边界层风廓线显示,在近地层(100 m)以上,边界层风廓线存在类似急流的最大切向风,其高度均在1 km以上,显著高于大西洋观测到的飓风边界层急流高度(低于1 km)。陆地边界层内低层入流强度也明显大于过去海上观测,这主要是由陆地上摩擦增大引起。越靠近台风中心,边界层风廓线离散度越大,其中,径向风廓线比全风速以及切向风廓线离散度更大。将风廓线相对台风移动方向分为4个象限,分析边界层风廓线非对称特征显示,台风移动前侧入流层明显高于移动后侧。最大切向风位于台风移动左后侧,而台风右后侧没有显著的急流特征,与过去理想模拟的海陆差异导致的台风非对称分布特征一致。     

青藏高原春季不同地区臭氧和大气温度变化趋势的差异性

利用1979—2018年太阳后向散射紫外辐射计SBUV(/2)星下点臭氧遥感资料,结合ERA-Interim和MERRA-2大气温度再分析资料,考察青藏高原区域内拉萨和共和两地春季臭氧和大气温度变化趋势的差异性。结果表明拉萨和共和两个地区的臭氧和大气温度逆转趋势均发生于1999年。对比2008年以来青藏高原整体臭氧总量变化速率（4.5 DU/(10 a)),拉萨臭氧总量变化更快,为5.9 DU/(10 a),共和相对较慢,仅为3.7 DU/(10 a);同时,1999年以来拉萨和共和春季下平流层（100~30 hPa）大气温度分别以0.5~1.4℃/(10 a)和0.01~0.9℃/(10 a)速率增加,上对流层(250~175 hPa)大气温度分别以0.2~1.5℃/(10 a)和0.2~1.2℃/(10 a)速率降低。与2008年以来高原整体大气温度变化相比较,均慢于高原下平流层（125~70 hPa) 1~2℃/(10 a)的增温速率,快于高原上对流层（225~175 hPa）0.4~1.1℃/(10 a)的降温速率。两地臭氧与大气温度的相关系数和回归系数计算结果表明,拉萨和共和两个地区1999年以来春季臭氧恢复速率的不同是导致两地同期下平流层-上对流层温度逆转速率差异的重要因子之一。     

SODAR-based estimation of TKE and momentum flux profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer: Test of a parameterization model

Summary A simple parameterization for the estimation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and momentum flux profiles under near-neutral stratification based on sodar measurements of the vertical velocity variance has been tested using data from the LINEX-2000 experiment. Measurements included operation of a phased-array Doppler sodar DSDPA.90 and of a sonic anemometer USA-1 mounted at a meteorological tower at a height of 90m. Good agreement has been found between the TKE and momentum flux values derived from the sonic and sodar data (with correlation coefficients r>0.90 and a slope of the regression lines of about 1.01.1) suggesting the possible use of sodar measurements of _w ² to derive turbulence parameter profiles above the tower range.     

北京市郊区及城区边缘的大气湍流结构特征

为了比较城市边缘地区和郊区大气边界层中湍流结构的差异,本文分析了1986年春、夏两季在北京市城市边缘地区和郊区两处大气湍流观测结果.结果表明,由于城市边缘地区的下垫表面具有较高数值的粗糙度,使其近地面层大气受到较强的动力影响,在其湍流速度分量谱曲线;无量纲化湍流速度分量标准偏差,σ_u/u*,σ_v/u*和σ_w/u*;以及无量纲化湍流耗散率φ_ε等湍流特征量在近中性层结条件下显示出与大气稳定度的关系比较微弱.     

华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度的气候特征及其与气溶胶的联系

利用1979-2008年夏季（6—8月）逐日NCEP／NACR再分析资料、MODIS卫星的气溶胶资料等,研究了华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度的气候特征与年际变化,分析了大气稳定度和相应的加热场与气溶胶光学厚度（aerosol optical depth,AOD）的联系。结果表明：华东区域夏季行星边界层大气稳定度在空间上分布不均匀,时间上具有明显的年际变化。边界层中的非绝热加热率、大气稳定度及气溶胶光学厚度三者之间可能存在密切联系。利用经验正交函数分析了华东区域总体理查森数Rib的距平场,得到了边界层稳定度分布的3个主要模态,这3个模态所代表的边界层大气稳定度异常与夏季风环流异常密切相关,特别是P-J型遥相关波列和西太平洋副热带高压在中国东部大气边界层稳定度变化中可能起着非常重要的作用。     

Velocity profiles,the resistance law and the dissipation rate of mean flow kinetic energy in a neutrally and stably stratified planetary boundary layer

The logarithmic + polynomial approximation is suggested for vertical profiles of velocity components in a planetary boundary layer (PBL) at neutral and stable stratification. The resistance law functions A and B are determined on the basis of this approximation, using integral relations derived from the momentum equations, the Monin-Obukhov asymptotic formula for the wind profile in a stably stratified near-surface layer and the known expressions for the PBL depth. This result gives a realistic and convenient method for calculating the surface friction velocity and direction and the total dissipation rate of mean flow kinetic energy in terms of geostrophic velocity, buoyancy flux at the surface, the roughness parameter and the Coriolis parameter. In the course of these derivations a review is given of current views on the main problems of the neutral and stable PBL.     

夏季长三角城市群热岛效应及其对大气边界层结构影响的数值模拟

利用WRF/Noah/UCM模拟系统对长三角地区城市群进行了2003—2007年共5个夏季的高分辨率数值模拟,研究了夏季长三角城市群热岛效应及其对大气边界层影响。开展了2组平行的积分试验,控制试验为MODIS遥感资料给出的地表特征分布,敏感性试验将长三角地区的城市表面改为农田类型,其他与控制试验完全相同。两组试验的对比分析表明城市群热岛存在明显的日变化特征,热岛效应白天向上发展较高,夜间地表热岛强度明显增强。城市热岛导致午后城市上空产生强烈的局地上升气流,从而使得低层大气以补偿流的形式向城市辐合,然而在夜间上升运动很微弱。伴随这种热力状况的日变化,大气边界层高度也存在明显的日变化,白天增高,夜间降低。同时,白天城市边界层内风速明显减小,夜间地面风速减小加剧,但夜间边界层顶风速却有所增强。另外,城市化还会导致“城市干岛”现象,且其白天强度大于夜间。     

Measurements of atmospheric dimethyl sulfide and carbon disulfide in the western Atlantic boundary layer

Shipboard measurements of atmospheric dimethyl sulfide were made during two transects along the east coast of the United States and at several stations in the Gulf of Maine. Limited measurements of carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide are also reported. The mean DMS mixing ratio was 29 pptv (=25, n=84, median 19 pptv) during the Atlantic transects, and 101 pptv (=67, n=77, median 79 pptv) in the Gulf of Maine. Distinct diurnal variations were found in the DMS data from the transects. The meteorology of the study area appears to control day-to-day differences in the magnitude of these diurnal variations, although rapid daytime oxidation is suggested in some cases. Diurnal variations were also evident in near-shore stations in the Gulf of Maine due to nocturnal boundary-layer inversion. Diurnal variation was not evident at other sites in the Gulf due to large scale changes in the atmospheric circulation pattern, which effectively masked any effects due to oxidation processes. Model simulations confirm that the DMS levels and diurnal variation found during the transects are not consistent with atmospheric oxidation processes alone. Atmospheric CS₂ and H₂S mixing ratios were less than 3 pptv during the transects, except for a single period of higher CS₂ mixing ratios (reaching 11 pptv) during advection of continental air. Calculations of the flux of oceanic sulfur to the eastern United States show that the contribution of natural sulfur to the North American sulfur budget is small compared to anthropogenic sources.
