再论都市霾与雾的区别

都市霾的出现有重要的空气质量指示意义,而雾或轻雾与特定的天气系统相联系。由于经济规模的迅速扩大和城市化进程的加快,都市霾现象或灰霾天气日趋严重,霾与雾的区分成为一个非常现实,又迫切需要解决的问题。东南沿海各省用相对湿度区分的标准普遍偏低,将大量霾记成了轻雾或雾。实际上近地层大气中每时每刻总是有霾存在的,而雾滴的存在是少见或罕见的;霾滴要想通过吸湿增长成为雾滴,必须有足够的过饱和度,能够越过过饱和驼峰才行,这在自然界并不容易。在非饱和条件下,不但非水溶性的霾不能转化成雾滴,即便是水溶性的霾粒子一般也不可能吸湿转化为雾滴。实测资料表明,出现雾时,极端最小相对湿度是91％,在相对湿度低于90％的情况下,没有观测到雾。降温是达到饱和形成雾滴的最主要、最重要的物理过程,在自然界中的霾滴通过吸湿过程增长成雾滴几乎不可能。历史上我国各级气象部门从来不存在以相对湿度70％界定轻雾与霾的补充规定。区分霾和雾,应该根据影响天气系统的变化,结合宏观特征的各种判据来确定。建议将相对湿度的阈值定为90％,作为区分轻雾与霾的辅助判据是合理的。     

Development of a continuous flow thermal gradient diffusion chamber for ice nucleation studies

A supercooled continuous flow, thermal gradient diffusion chamber has been developed to study the ice nucleating properties of natural or artificial aerosols. The chamber has concentric cylinder geometry with the cylinder axis alignment and airflow vertically downward. Sample airflow is 1 l min⁻¹ and occupies the central 10% of the annular lamina; it is separated from the ice-covered walls by filtered sheath air. The wall temperatures are independently controlled over the range from about −4°C to −25°C, so that the vapor concentration at the location of the sample lamina can be set to a well defined value between ice saturation and a few percent water supersaturation. There is a range of temperature and supersaturation values across the sample region; for lamina center conditions of −15°C and +1% with respect to water, the range is −14.6 to −15.4°C and +0.53 to +1.31%. Errors in temperature control produce variations estimated as ±0.1°C and ±0.23%. Typical sample residence time is about 10 s. Ice crystals which form on active nuclei are detected optically at the outlet end of the chamber. To enhance the size difference between ice crystals and cloud droplets, the downstream 25% of the warm ice wall is covered with a thermally insulating vapor barrier which reduces the vapor concentration to ice saturation at the cold wall temperature, so cloud droplets evaporate.A mathematical model was developed to describe the temperature and vapor fields and to calculate the growth, evaporation, and sedimentation of water and ice particles. At 1% water supersaturation, the model predicts that ice particles will grow to about 5 μm diameter, and cloud droplets will achieve about 1 μm before they reach the evaporation section of the chamber. A different model was developed to describe the steady state airflow profile and location of the sample lamina.Experimental tests of the chamber were performed to characterize the airflow, to assess the ability of the technique to detect silver iodide ice nucleating aerosols and to distinguish ice crystals from water droplets.     

On the use of a modified clean-room optical particle counter for atmosperic aerosols at high relative humidity

This study is devoted to the performance of the CLIMET CI-8060, a white-light optical particle counter (OPC). Designed for clean-room monitoring, the off-the-shelf performance of this instrument is rather poor for outdoor studies. Modifications of this instrument are described turning this low-cost instrument into an OPC with excellent performance. The modifications include a reduction of the flow rate to 1.4 l/min, an altered design of the inlet nozzle, a buffer chamber to assure continuous flow, and a 16-channel pulse height analyzer.The modified version has been checked thouroughly. The counting efficiency is very close to 100% for particle sizes between 0.295 and 0.801 μm. The loss of giant particles is also marginal, as comparative tests with a cascade impactor show. The sizing calibration has been redetermined experimentally, using latex spheres, and theoretically, applying a software package by Jüngert [1988] using the Mie theory. With the help of the established relationship between experimental and theoretical response for latex, calibration tables for any other particle material are obtained (in particular for ambient aerosols and H₂O for fog and cloud condensation studies).The modified counter has been used for monitoring the growth of hygroscopic aerosols in humid conditions, using two different inlet lines, one of them drying the aerosol before entering the OPC, the other one preserving ambient conditions. This system allows to observe haze and fog formation and cloud condensation processes in situ at a one-minute time resolution.     

HAZE-TO-FOG TRANSFORMATION DURING A LONG LASTING, LOW VISIBILITY EPISODE IN NANJING

Haze-to-fog transformation during a long lasting, low visibility episode was examined using the observations from a comprehensive field campaign conducted in Nanjing, China during 4-9 December 2013. In this episode, haze was transformed into fog and the fog lasted for dozens of hours. The impacts of meteorological factors such as wind, temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) on haze, transition and fog during this episode were investigated. Results revealed significant differences between haze and fog days, due to their different formation mechanisms. Comparison was made for boundary-layer conditions during hazy days, haze-to-fog days and foggy days. Distributions of wind speed and wind direction as well as synoptic weather conditions around Nanjing had determinative impacts on the occurrences and characteristics of haze and fog. Weakened southerly wind in southern Nanjing resulted in high concentration of pollutants, and haze events occurred frequently during the study period. The wind speed was less than 1 m s-1 in the haze event, which resulted in a stable atmospheric condition and weak dispersion of the pollutants. The height of the temperature inversion was about 400 m during the period. The inversion intensity was weak and the temperature-difference was 4°C km-1 or less in haze, while the inversion was stronger, and temperature-difference was about 6°C km-1, approaching the inversion layer intensity in the fog event. Haze event is strongly influenced by ambient RH. RH values increased, which resulted in haze days evidently increased, suggesting that an increasing fraction of haze events be caused by hygroscopic growth of aerosols, rather than simply by high aerosol loading. When RH was above 90%, haze aerosols started to be transformed from haze to fog. This study calls for more efforts to control emissions to prevent haze events in the region.

NaCl Aerosol Particle Hygroscopicity Dependence on Mixing with Organic Compounds

Organic compounds in the atmosphere can influence the activation, growth and lifetimes of haze, fog and cloud droplets by changing the condensation and evaporation rates of liquid water by these aqueous aerosol particles. Depending on the nature and properties of the organic compounds, the change can be to enhance or reduce these rates. In this paper we used a tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) to examine the effect of tetracosane, octanoic acid, and lauric acid on the hygroscopic properties of NaCl aerosol particles at relative humidities (RH) between 30 and 95%. These organic compounds have been identified in ambient aerosol particle samples. A slight lowering of the deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) and suppression of hygroscopic growth for the NaCl-organic compound mixtures were observed when compared to pure NaCl particles. The growth of pure NaCl particles was 2.25 in diameter at 85% RH while the growth of the mixed particles was 1.3 to 1.7 in particle diameter at 85% RH with organic mass fraction of 30–50%. This shows that these organic compounds have to be present in rather large mass fractions to effect the hygroscopic behavior to a similar degree observed for ambient aerosol during field measurements. Despite the mixing of the organic material with NaCl, hysteresis was observed for decreasing RH histories, suggesting the formation of metastable droplets. These laboratory results are strikingly similar to ambient field results. For example, if the total organic mass fraction of the particles is between 0.30 and 0.50, the particle growth at 85% RH is about a factor of 1.4 for the laboratory and field measurements. Such reduction in growth compared to the pure inorganic salt is in contradiction to speculations concerning significant effects by organic compounds on cloud condensation nuclei and thus formation on clouds.     

再论相对湿度对区别都市霾与雾(轻雾)的意义

在都市,霾的出现有重要的空气质量指示意义。而雾或轻雾的记录,有明确的天气指示意义,与特定的天气系统相联系。由于经济规模的迅速扩大和城市化进程的加快,都市霾现象或者是灰霾天气日趋严重,霾与雾的区分成为一个非常现实,又迫切需要解决的问题。在全国气象系统的台站观测中,区分霾与雾(轻雾)的判据比较混乱,缺乏可比性,东南沿海各省不成文规定的用相对湿度区分的标准普遍偏低,将大量霾记成了轻雾或雾。实际上近地层大气中每时每刻总是有霾存在的,而雾滴的存在是少见或罕见的;霾滴要想通过吸湿增长成为雾滴,必须有足够的过饱和度,能够越过过饱和驼峰才行,这在自然界并不容易。在非饱和条件下,不但非水溶性的霾不能转化成雾滴,既便是水溶性的霾粒子一般也不可能吸湿转化为雾滴。实测资料表明出现雾时,极端最小相对湿度是91%,在相对湿度低于90%的情况下,没有观测到雾。降温是达到饱和形成雾滴的最主要、最重要的物理过程,在自然界中的霾滴通过吸湿过程增长成雾滴几乎不可能。历史上我国各级气象部门从来不存在以相对湿度70%界定轻雾与霾的补充规定,由于理解的问题,将大量霾记成了轻雾。区分霾和雾,应该根据影响天气系统的变化,结合宏观特征的各种判据来确定。建议将相对湿度的阈值定为90%,作为区分轻雾(雾)与霾的辅助判据是合理的。     

南京地区大气冰核浓度的测量及分析

2011年5～8月期间使用5L混合型云室以及静力扩散云室对南京不同成核机制的大气冰核进行了观测,进而分析了近地层冰核浓度特征。结果表明:活化温度为－20°C时,5L混合型云室观测的总冰核浓度为20.11个/L,静力扩散云室模拟高水汽(计算的云室内水面过饱和度为5%)和低水汽(计算的云室内冰面过饱和度为5%)条件下冰核浓度分别为0.93个/L以及0.29个/L。晴好条件下冰核浓度具有明显的日变化特征,白天冰核浓度高于夜间;在下午时段冰核浓度达到全天最高值,这说明大气冰核可能与大气湍流强度、人类活动以及工业污染有关。降水对冰核的清除作用明显,台风系统过程中冰核浓度明显增加。南京地区冰核浓度随温度降低和湿度增加而增加。后向轨迹模式分析表明东北海洋气团冰核浓度最高,不同气团中冰核浓度的差异随着活化温度的降低而减小。个例分析秸秆燃烧生成的PM₁(大气中直径小于或者等于1 μm的颗粒物)与冰核关系发现燃烧产物对冰核有一定的贡献。     

Isolating and identifying atmospheric ice-nucleating aerosols: a new technique

Laboratory studies examined two key aspects of the performance of a continuous-flow diffusion chamber (CFD) instrument that detects ice nuclei (IN) concentrations in air samples: separating IN from non-IN, and collecting IN aerosols to determine chemical composition. In the first study, submicron AgI IN particles were mixed in a sample stream with submicron non-IN salt particles, and the sample stream was processed in the CFD at −19°C and 23% supersaturation with respect to ice. Examination of the residual particles from crystals nucleated in the CFD confirmed that only AgI particles served as IN in the mixed stream. The second study applied this technique to separate and analyze IN and non-IN particles in a natural air sample. Energy-dispersive X-ray analyses (EDS) of the elemental composition of selected particles from the IN and non-IN fractions in ambient air showed chemical differences: Si and Ca were present in both, but S, Fe and K were also detected in the non-IN fraction.     

空气负离子测量误差分析和评估

为有效评估空气负离子测量误差，根据空气负离子测量方法，分析了离子收集器、微电流测量和空气流量引起的仪器测量误差。在离子收集器确定的情况下，微电流测量和空气流量是产生测量误差的主要因素。仪器集中比对和野外现场核查表明，不同类型仪器的测量结果基本能反映负离子浓度的变化趋势，但负离子浓度测量值相差较大，部分仪器超过了200%。通过风速和空气湿度的实验室模拟试验，说明了空气湿度对仪器影响较小，环境风速对仪器测量结果有较大影响。

太原地区灰霾天气特征及影响因子分析

利用2008~2012年太原常规地面气象观测资料、高空探测资料和大气污染物观测资料,对主要天气形势、典型气象要素以及空气污染状况下灰霾天气特征及形成机制进行了综合分析。结果表明:1)太原地区灰霾出现频率存在明显的季节变化,冬半年灰霾出现天数占全年的65.7%;一天中08:00(北京时间,下同)至13:00发生灰霾的频率较高。2)霾日静风频率较高,主导风向为偏东南风;重度灰霾天气出现时相对湿度较高。3)霾日的大气稳定度主要表现为稳定类;霾日平均混合层高度比非霾日低约100 m;08:00逆温出现次数高于20:00,霾时平均逆温强度和厚度高于非霾时。4)高压类型天气形势对灰霾的产生有重要影响,低压天气形势下较少出现灰霾天气。5)可吸入颗粒物、SO2和NO2浓度在非霾日比霾日分别下降32.6%、48.6%、21.7%;随着灰霾等级的增加,SO2和可吸入颗粒物的浓度有显著的增加。6)灰霾天气下到达地面的太阳辐射强度明显减弱,日照时数明显减少。     

武汉大气能见度与PM2.5浓度及相对湿度关系的非线性分析及能见度预报

武汉作为中部地区高湿度代表城市,大气污染严重,霾天气多发,但有关该地区大气能见度与PM2.5浓度及相对湿度(RH)的定量关系尚不明确。利用2014年9月—2015年3月武汉地区逐时能见度、相对湿度及颗粒物质量浓度观测数据,研究分析了武汉大气能见度与PM2.5浓度及相对湿度的关系,并进行能见度非线性预报初探,得到以下结论:武汉霾时数发生比例高,霾的发生和加重是能见度降低的主要原因;能见度降低伴随大量细粒子产生和累积,这是武汉大气能见度恶化的重要诱因。细颗粒物浓度与相对湿度共同影响和制约大气能见度变化,高湿高浓度时能见度显著下降,湿情景下(RH≥40%),能见度恶化主要是由湿度增高诱使细颗粒物粒径吸湿增长导致其散射效率增大造成的。当RH >90%时,能见度随湿度升高成线性递减,相对湿度每升高1%,武汉平均能见度降低0.568 km。而干情景下(RH2.5质量浓度升高。在城市大气细粒子污染背景下,能见度与相对湿度成非线性关系,这主要与PM2.5对能见度的影响及吸湿性颗粒物的散射效率变化有关。PM2.5浓度与能见度成幂函数非线性关系,80%≤RH2.5浓度对能见度的影响敏感阈值是随着湿度升高而减小的,干情景下能见度10 km对应的PM2.5浓度阈值为70 μg/m3,湿情景下该阈值为18—55 μg/m3。当PM2.5质量浓度低于约40 μg/m3时,继续降低PM2.5可显著提高武汉大气能见度。预报试验表明,基于神经网络方法建立大气能见度非线性预报模型是可行的,预报能见度相关系数为0.86,均方根误差为1.9 km,能见度≤10 km的TS评分为0.92。网络模型具有较高预报性能,对霾的判别有较高准确性,为衔接区域环境气象数值预报模式,建立大气能见度精细化动力统计模型提供参考依据。      

内蒙古地区沙尘和霾自动观测数据的可靠性和修正方法研究*

2014年,中国气象局将地面人工观测业务调整为自动仪器观测的方式,这一改变明显提高了工作效率,但对观测结果,特别是视程障碍类观测产生了一定的影响。为了完善内蒙古地区霾和沙尘天气判别标准,获得准确可信的气象资料,本文选取了2001-2019年内蒙古12个站点逐三小时的气象观测资料,从时空分布特征和判别方法研究了内蒙古地区沙尘和霾自动气象观测数据的可靠性和判别标准的适用性。结合PM2.5和PM10两个空气质量指数,通过修正错误记录,将沙尘中误判的霾和无天气、霾中误判的沙尘、雾和无天气等分离出来。对比结果来看,修正前,霾和沙尘分别占总频次的95%和5%；修正后,霾、沙尘、雾和无天气分别占总频次的55%、17%、1%、27%。对比呼和浩特单站一次沙尘和一次霾天气过程中气象要素和空气质量指数的连续变化可以看出,相对湿度与PM2.5的相关性均达到了0.5以上。沙尘期,能见度与PM10负相关,PM2.5和PM10相关性较差；而霾期,能见度与PM2.5和PM10的相关性较差,PM2.5和PM10相关性达到了0.8以上,即不同相对湿度环境下影响能见度的因素不同。     

Using hourly measurements to explore the role of secondary inorganic aerosol in PM2.5 during haze and fog in Hangzhou,China

This paper explores the role of the secondary inorganic aerosol （SIA） species ammonium,NH4＋,nitrate,NO3-,and sulfate,SO24-,during haze and fog events using hourly mass concentrations of PM2.5 measured at a suburban site in Hangzhou,China.A total of 546 samples were collected between 1 April and 8 May 2012.The samples were analyzed and classified as clear,haze or fog depending on visibility and relative humidity （RH）.The contribution of SIA species to PM2.5 mass increased to ～50％ during haze and fog.The mass contribution of nitrate to PM2.5 increased from 11％ during clear to 20％ during haze episodes.Nitrate mass exceeded sulfate mass during haze,while near equal concentrations were observed during fog episodes.The role of RH on the correlation between concentrations of SIA and visibility was examined,with optimal correlation at 60％-70％ RH.The total acidity during clear,haze and fog periods was 42.38,48.38 and 45.51 nmol m-3,respectively,indicating that sulfate,nitrate and chloride were not neutralized by ammonium during any period.The nitrate to sulfate molar ratio,as a function of the ammonium to sulfate molar ratio,indicated that nitrate formation during fog started at a higher ammonium to sulfate molar ratio compared to clear and haze periods.During haze and fog,the nitrate oxidation ratio increased by a factor of 1.6-1.7,while the sulfur oxidation ratio increased by a factor of 1.2-1.5,indicating that both gaseous NO2 and SO2 were involved in the reduced visibility.     

A wind tunnel study of the flow field within and around open-top chambers used for air pollution studies

The EPA Meteorological Wind Tunnel was used to examine the flow field in and around models of open-top field-plant growth chambers used to assess the effects of pollutant gases on plant growth. Baffles designed to reduce the ingress of ambient air into the chamber through the open top were tested; the mean flow and turbulence in the simulated boundary layer with and without the chambers were compared (the chamber was operated with and without the pollutant flow system on); and the effects of surrounding chambers on the concentration field were measured. Results showed that a baffle with a reduced opening vertically above the test area maintained the highest uniform concentration in the test area. The major differences between the three (no chamber and the chamber with flow on and off) mean velocity profiles occurred below z/h = 2.0 (h is chamber height) and at z/h ≤ 4.2. The three Reynolds stress profiles were similar above z/h = 2.0. Downwind of the chamber, the Reynolds stresses in the on-mode were greater than those in the off-mode above z/h = 1.1. The reverse was true below that point. Both longitudinal and vertical intensities above and downwind of the chamber were greater with the mixture flow system on rather than off, below about z/h < 1.5. Lateral variations in the mean wind indicated that the mean velocity was greater with the mixture flow system on except near the centerline where the reverse was true. The concentrations in the downwind wake resembled those for a cube. The location of a cylinder within a regular array had some effect on its internal gas concentration. Locations near the upwind and downwind edges of the array were associated with lower concentrations, although for all locations the highest internal values were always found at the lowest portion of the upwind wall. With active cylinders downwind, the gas plume emitted from a source cylinder at the windward edge of the array was forced 0.5 h higher and the centerline meandered laterally when compared with the single-cylinder case. A cylinder located at z/h = 1.0 downwind from a source cylinder received approximately 3%; of the concentration input to the source, or roughly 10%; of the actual concentration within the source cylinder.     

自贡市一次重雾霾过程天气特征及高发原因分析

目前中国存在四个雾霾严重的地区,分别是京津冀地区、长江三角洲、珠江三角洲和川渝一带,而自贡市是四川雾霾最严重的区域,研究自贡雾霾高发原因十分必要。文章以2005～2016年自贡地面观测数据为基础,以2017年12月21日～2018年1月3日自贡持续性雾霾天气过程为例,借助空气质量数据、地面气象要素、高空观测数据,分析了地形、气象因素与环境污染之间的关系。结果表明:当自贡为偏东偏北气流时,污染物在风的输送作用下易在山前的平原地区汇聚,再加上四川盆地南部易形成气旋式流场使大气污染物难以远距离扩散输送并形成涡旋,自贡恰处于污染物滞留中心区,造成市区污染物累积浓度升高。自贡受到本身地理位置和自然气候特征的限制,气象条件先天不足,大气环境承载力低,大气自净能力不强,容易出现雾霾。      

北京一次持续性雾、霾的特征和成因分析

基于2013年1月9-15日北京地区一次持续雾、霾过程,对环流形势、要素、物理量场以及污染监测情况进行分析。结果表明：高PM_2.5和SO₂事件持续时间超过100 h,浓度达到严重污染级别。高空为偏西或西南气流且850 hPa有弱暖平流输送和地面倒槽维持少动是有利于雾、霾持续的背景条件。持续轻雾或霾对湿层厚度要求不高,在925 hPa下即可,且湿层越厚,能见度越低。逆温维持是雾、霾持续的主要原因,且轻雾或霾为主时逆温层特点为厚度浅强度弱,高度或强度的突然增大可预示向大雾或雪转换; 850 hPa以下涡度平流较弱是轻雾或霾持续的动力结构;总温度平流垂直分布表现为闭合中心强度在500 hPa明显分界,且相对较弱的平流中心的高度一般在850-1000 hPa之间,当高度达到500 hPa时或可预示雾、霾天气消散。
