VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTICS OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS IN LIAONING

16 aircraft missions were conducted for the measurement of atmospheric aerosols in separatedays of late spring and early summer of 1996 and 1997.The paper deals with detailed analysis ofthe variation in vertical/horizontal distributions of the concentration of the particles and their sizedistribution at 0—5 km above ground,and with the relations to temperature and relative humiditydocumented in general.Evidence suggests that the concentrations show different distributionfeatures in vertical above and below the cap of the mixed layer:the particle size distribution issubject to a range of forming mechanisms,displaying a multi-modal pattern:the horizontalconcentration experiences remarkable variation:temperature and relative humidity stratificationshave conspicuous influence on the concentration and size distribution of aerosols.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ATMOSPHERIC HEATING AND ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION DURING ACTIVE PERIOD OF 500 hPa HIGH OVER THE TIBETAN PLATEAU IN SUMMER*

In correspondence with the establishment of the "upper high and lower high" pressure pattern due to the activities of 500 hPa high over the Tibetan Plateau in summer,a series of changes of the East Asia atmospheric circulation will take place.In this paper,the distributions of divergence and vertical velocity of 500 hPa high,the evolutions of atmospheric heat source,the variations of vorticity and zonal wind at 100 hPa level and vertical meridional cell over the Tibetan Plateau etc.are statistically analyzed.Thus,we can see that the ascending motion and the convective heating over the Tibetan Plateau,the South Asia high and the westerly jet on the north of the Plateau at 100 hPa level are weakned.The northern branch and the southern branch of the easterly jet on the south of the Plateau merge into a single whole and situate on the south of the former northern branch.In the meantime,thermodynamic land-sea discrepancy in South Asia and the convective heating over the Bay of Bengal is enhanced.It will play an important role in the maintenance of the easterly jet and the South Asia monsoon.     

TURBULENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SURFACE LAYER OVER AN OPEN GRASSLAND*

Described in this paper is an experiment on atmosphere-surface turbulent exchange and boundary layer turbulence properties conducted in July 1994 over the Kerqin Grassland,Jilin,China.The characteristics of the turbulent spectrum,and the relationships of the standard deviation of the turbulent velocity components and sensible heat flux with the atmospheric stability are studied using data from a sonic anemometer and a fast-response platinum resistance thermometer mounted on a 100 m tower.The results show that in the surface layer over a flat,uniform and open grassland,for a broad stability range(-22.12≤Z_iL≤17.98),the velocity spectra obey the-2/3 power law in the inertial subrange,and 1 power law at low frequencies.Under near neutral stratification,σ_u/u_*=1.20,σ_v/u_*=1.23 and σ_w/u_*=1.02.For Z_i/L≤-0.2,the standard deviations of the turbulent velocity components follow a 1/3 power law.For Z_i/L≤-0.1,the standard deviation of the temperature fluctuations follows a-1/3 power law,and as Z_i/L≤-0.08,it exhibits nonlinear behavior.Sensible heat flux is well correlated to the stability parameter.     

ON THE PDF MODELS FOR ATMOSPHERIC DIFFUSION IN BOUNDARY LAYER*

In this paper,taking its turbulent exchange coefficient as a function of the Lagrangian time scale and standard variance of the turbulence in atmosphere,the atmospheric dispersion PDF models are obtained on the basis of atmospheric diffusion K-theory.In the model the statistics of wind speed are directly used as its parameters instead of classic dispersion parameters.The bi-Gaussian PDF is derived in convective boundary layer (CBL),from the statistics of vertical velocity in both of the downdraft and updraft regions that are investigated theoretically in the other part of this paper.Giving the driven parameters of the CBL (including the convective velocity scale ω^* and the mixing depth h_i) and the time-averaged wind speed at release level,the PDF model is able to simulate the distribution of concentration released at any levels in the CBL.The PDF's simulations are fairly consistent with the measurements in CONDORS experiment or the results brought out by some numerical simulations.     

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE EFFECTS OF AEROSOLS IN THE ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER ON THE CLIMATE*

The climatic effects of the atmospheric boundary aerosols are studied by the use of a three-dimensional climate model.Simulated results show that the climate states both at the surface and in the atmosphere change remarkably when the aerosols with different optical thicknesses and properties are introduced into the atmospheric boundary layer of the model.The aerosols absorb and scatter the solar shortwave radiation,therefore,they reduce the solar energy reaching the ground surface and decrease the surface and the soil temperatures.The temperature in the boundary layer increase because of the supplementary absorption of radiation by the boundary aerosols.In the atmosphere,the temperatures at all isobaric surfaces rise up except for the 100 hPa level.The atmospheric temperatures below the 500 hPa level are directly influenced by the boundary aerosols,while the atmospheric temperatures above the 500 hPa level are influenced by the heating due to convective condensation and the changes in the vertical motion field.Cyclonic differential circulations appear over the desert areas at the low levels,and anticyclonic differential circulations exist at the upper levels in the horizontal flow fields.The vertical motions change in correspondence with the differential circulations.The changes in precipitation are directly related to that of vertical motions.The mechanisms of climate effects of the boundary aerosols are also discussed in this paper.     

CLIMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ATMOSPHERIC NET RADIATION OVER CHINA*

In terms of ERBE and ISCCP data.and measured/calculated surface net radiation,computation is performed of the climatic characteristics of ANR(atmospheric net radiation) across China alongside with the discussion and relations to other two kinds of radiation and contributing factors.Evidence suggests a high linear correlation of ANR with atmosphere-absorbed shortwave radiation.whereby can be established a general expression for ANR,which decreases more sharply as a function of altitude and increases slightly with latitude in summer,and changes uniformly in winter.Eventually,a comparison is made of the findings presented in this paper and literatures regarding the ANR pattern and magnitudes,indicating their great difference.

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.

RESPONSE OF THE ATMOSPHERIC GENERAL CIRCULATION TO WINTER SNOW COVER ANOMALY*

In this paper,the response of the atmospheric general circulation to winter anomalous snow cover was investigated through observations studies and model simulation.Results from the observations show that:(1)the anomalous winter snow cover in the extratropics of Eurasian Continent bears an intimate relation to the contemporary atmospheric general circulation.The positive anomaly of winter snow cover is usually accompanied by positive atmospheric EUP teleconnection pattern and stronger East Asian winter monsoon:or vice versa.(2)The linkage between them suggests that the abnormal winter snow cover has an important impact on winter atmospheric general circulation.The anomalous snow cover pattern can lead to the anomaly of winter atmospheric EUP teleconnection pattern and thus influence East Asian Winter monsoon.With NCAR CCM2 including BATS land surface scheme,three groups of experiments were performed to examine the atmospheric response to the anomalous snow cover pattern and explore the relevant mechanism.Simulated results agree well with the observations,which testify the significant response of the atmosphere to snow cover anomaly.It is found that the radiative cooling induced by anomalous snow cover plays an important role in above processes,and the feedback of long-wave radiation can not be neglected.
