利用2010年塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地塔克拉玛干沙漠大气环境观测试验站(下文简称"塔中")多波段(450、525、635 nm)积分浊度计和PM_(10)自动监测仪观测资料,并结合塔中地面气象观测资料,分析了沙漠腹地不同波段气溶胶散射系数的变化特征。分析结果显示:(1)塔中气溶胶对635 nm太阳辐射的散射作用最大,其次是525 nm,最小为450 nm。三波段(450、525、635 nm)散射系数平均值分别为:288.0、318.4、443.8 Mm~(-1)。(2)三波段散射系数日变化与PM_(10)质量浓度一致,都呈单峰变化:夜间高、白天低。在日变化中,散射系数始终保持635 nm最大,525 nm次之,450 nm最小。(3)三波段散射系数年变化基本一致,都与PM_(10)变化接近。1—5月中,除3月散射系数是450 nm最大外,另外4个月均是635 nm最大,450 nm次之,525 nm最小。6—12月散射系数都是635 nm最大,525 nm次之,450 nm最小。(4)三波段散射系数均是沙尘暴下最大,扬沙次之,浮尘最小。不同沙尘天气下,塔中气溶胶对635 nm散射作用都是最明显的,对450 nm和525nm散射作用不同:沙尘暴时,对525 nm的散射强于450 nm,在扬沙和浮尘时,对450 nm的散射强于525 nm,尤其在浮尘时。(5)三波段散射系数与PM_(10)质量浓度都呈显著正相关,PM_(10)质量浓度与525 nm散射系数相关程度最大,450 nm次之,635 nm最小。但是季节内相关程度略有差异:春、冬季PM_(10)浓度与450 nm散射系数相关程度最大,525 nm次之,635 nm最小。夏、秋季则是525nm最大。     

太原冬季大气气溶胶的散射特征

利用积分浊度仪于2005年12月17日-2006年2月14日对太原市区气溶胶散射特性进行了观测分析。结果表明：观测期间气溶胶散射系数小时平均值为（850.2±611.3) Mm-1,散射系数在200～300 Mm-1之间出现的频率最高。太原冬季大气气溶胶散射系数的日变化呈双峰型,散射系数与PM2.5小时平均浓度的线性相关性较好（R2 = 0.82),表明细粒子对散射系数有很大的贡献。观测结果显示气象条件是影响气溶胶散射特性的重要因素之一。     

山西夏季气溶胶散射特征的飞机观测研究

利用3个架次的积分浊度仪和PCASP-100X（Passive Cavity Aerosol Spectrometer Probe）机载观测资料,分析了2013年山西夏季空中有云、无云和少云3种不同条件下气溶胶散射系数的分布特征,讨论了气溶胶散射系数垂直变化与气溶胶数浓度、气象条件的关系,并结合HYSPLIT（Hybrid of Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model）后向轨迹模型研究气溶胶的运动轨迹和可能的污染来源。结果表明:山西夏季空中气溶胶总散射系数变化范围为0～499 Mm-1,晴空气溶胶数浓度和总散射系数明显大于有云和少云时。气溶胶总散射系数一般随高度的增加而递减。造成气溶胶总散射系数、数浓度偏高的原因有下垫面污染源多、风速小、相对湿度高以及逆温层的存在。550 nm波段气溶胶后向散射比大于0.1,粒径0.1～0.5 μm的气溶胶粒子对散射影响最大,说明山西空中细粒子污染比较严重。气溶胶总散射系数与数浓度有一定的相关性。引起气溶胶总散射系数、数浓度较高的气团传输路径主要为西南路径,局地排放的气溶胶大于远距离传输的气溶胶对散射系数的贡献。

利用地面激光雷达、太阳光度计观测反演气溶胶光学特性参数,结合PM_2.5观测数据,分析了2018年1月25—28日北京一次完整污染过程中气溶胶光学特性变化。基于观测数据,利用短波辐射传输模式计算了不同程度污染日,晴空背景下气溶胶对辐射加热率的改变程度。结果表明:清洁日（25日）,PM_2.5日平均质量浓度为19.00 μg·m-3,440 nm气溶胶光学厚度为0.13,单次散射反照率为0.87,整层气溶胶消光系数低于0.10 km-1,短波辐射均为增温效应;污染期间（26—27日）,PM_2.5日平均质量浓度为83.21 μg·m-3,气溶胶光学厚度为2.48,气溶胶散射能力增强,单次散射反照率达到0.94,气溶胶主要消光层厚度提升至3.00 km高度,消光系数平均值为0.43 km-1,气溶胶在垂直方向的变化导致气溶胶中上层（1.50~3.00 km高度）加热作用强烈,短波辐射加热率平均值达到13.89 K·d-1,而低层（1.50 km高度以内）加热作用较弱,加热率平均值仅为0.99 K·d-1。气溶胶散射能力增强导致加热作用减弱,污染日加热率对于气溶胶散射能力变化更敏感。     

黄山顶大气气溶胶吸收和散射特性观测分析

采用光声黑碳仪（PASS）2008年5～7月在黄山光明顶的连续观测资料,分析了该地区大气气溶胶吸收和散射系数变化特征及其与气象因子的关系。分析结果表明：在相对干燥的条件下（相对湿度小于60%）吸收散射系数日变化明显,总体上白天大,晚上小;相对湿度与吸收和散射系数有很强的正相关性,相关系数分别为0.87和0.80,而风速与散射吸收系数则呈现负相关关系,吸收系数、散射系数与风速的相关系数分别为-0.53和-0.78;湿清除使大气气溶胶的吸收和散射系数明显降低;与在平原地区的南京相比,黄山山顶的吸收和散射系数日变化趋势与南京相反,且数值比南京小一个量级。     

2010年秋季鞍山气溶胶光学特征变化

利用2010年9-11月鞍山大气成分监测站CE-318太阳光度计观测资料,依据气溶胶光学厚度测量原理,计算得到2010年鞍山秋季大气气溶胶光学厚度、波长指数等大气光学特性数据,通过统计分析,给出鞍山秋季气溶胶光学特性分布特征。结果表明：随着测量AOD波段的降低,AOD值逐渐增大,9月的AOD平均值最大,10月AOD平均值次之,11月AOD平均值最小。从频率分布看,2010年9月 AOD日均值集中分布在0.4-0.6之间,10月和11月AOD日均值集中分布在0.0-0.4之间,表明10-11月大气较为清洁|波长指数日均值的频率分布说明鞍山秋季大气污染物以细粒子为主。500 nm 的AOD值与波长指数成对数关系,两者在9、10月和11月的相关系数分别为0.5145、0.8412和0.2715;9月AOD与PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM_1.0质量浓度为较小负相关,10月和11月AOD与PM₁₀、PM_2.5、PM_1.0质量浓度成正相关,且10、11月AOD与气溶胶细粒子相关性较为显著。AOD值与能见度在趋势上呈较小的负相关性,可能是由于高层气溶胶粒子对气溶胶光学厚度产生了主要影响。

The impacts of optical properties on radiative forcing due to dust aerosol

There are large uncertainties in the quantitative assessment of radiative effects due to atmospheric dust aerosol. The optical properties contribute much to those uncertainties. The authors perform several sensitivity experiments to estimate the impacts of optical characteristics on regional radiative forcing in this paper. The experiments involve in refractive indices, single scattering aibedo, asymmetry factor and optical depth. An updated dataset of refractive indices representing East Asian dust and the one recommended by the World Meteorology Organization （WMO） are contrastively analyzed and used. A radiative transfer code for solar and thermal infrared radiation with detailed aerosol parameterization is employed. The strongest emphasis is on the refractive indices since other optical parameters strongly depend on it, and the authors found a strong sensitivity of radiative forcing on refractive indices. Studies show stronger scattering, weaker absorption and forward scattering of the East Asian dust particles at solar wavelengths, which leads to higher negative forcing, lower positive forcing and bigger net forcing at the top of the atmosphere （TOA） than that of the WMO dust model. It is also found that the TOA forcings resulting from these two dust models have opposite signs in certain regions, which implies the importance of accurate measurements of optical properties in the quantitative estimation of radiative forcing.     

Aerosol Hygroscopicity during the Haze Red-Alert Period in December 2016 at a Rural Site of the North China Plain

A humidification system was deployed to measure aerosol hygroscopicity at a rural site of the North China Plain during the haze red-alert period 17–22 December 2016. The aerosol scattering coefficients under dry [relative humidity (RH) < 30%] and wet (RH in the range of 40%–85%) conditions were simultaneously measured at wavelengths of 450, 550, and 700 nm. It is found that the aerosol scattering coefficient and backscattering coefficient increased by only 29% and 10%, respectively when RH went up from 40% to 80%, while the hemispheric backscatter fraction went down by 14%, implying that the aerosol hygroscopicity represented by the aerosol scattering enhancement factor f(RH) is relatively low and RH exerted little effects on the aerosol light scattering in this case. The scattering enhancement factors do not show significant differences at the three wavelengths, only with an approximate 2% variation, suggesting that the aerosol hygroscopicity is independent of the wavelength. Aerosol hygroscopicity is highly dependent on the aerosol chemical composition. When there is a large mass fraction of inorganics and a small mass fraction of organic matter, f(RH) reaches a high value. The fraction of NO₃^– was strongly correlated with the aerosol scattering coefficient at RH = 80%, which suggests that NO₃^– played an important role in aerosol hygroscopic growth during the heavy pollution period.     

Airborne and lidar measurements of aerosol and cloud particles in the troposphere over Alert Canada in April 1986

As a component of the Canadian Arctic Haze Study, held coincident with the second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP II), vertical profiles of aerosol size distribution (0.17 m), light scattering parameters and cloud particle concentrations were obtained with an instrumented aircraft and ground-based lidar system during April 1986 at Alert. Northwest Territories. Average aerosol number concentrations range from about 200 cm^–3 over the Arctic ice cap to about 100 cm^–3 at 6 km. The aerosol size spectrum is virtually free of giant or coarse aerosol particles, and does not vary significantly with altitude. Most of the aerosol volume is concentrated in the 0.17–0.50 m size range, and the aerosol number concentration is found to be a good surrogate for the SO₄ ⁼ concentration of the Arctic haze aerosol. Comparison of the aircraft and lidar data show that, when iced crystal scattering is excluded, the aerosol light scattering coefficient and the lidar backscattering coefficient are proportional to the Arctic haze aerosol concentration. Ratios of scattering to backscattering, scattering to aerosol number concentration, and backscattering to aerosol number concentration are 15.3 steradians, 1.1×10^–13 m², and 4.8×10^–15 m² sr^–1, respectively. Aerosol scattering coefficients calculated from the measured size distributions using Mie scattering agree well with measured values. The calculations indicate the aerosol absorption optical depth over 6 km to range between 0.011 and 0.018. The presence of small numbers of ice crystals (10–20 crystals 1^–1 measured) increased light scattering by over a factor of ten.     

西北地区气溶胶光学特性及辐射影响

利用SACOL（兰州大学半干旱气候与环境观测站）2006~2012年AERONET（全球气溶胶自动监测网）level 2.0和太阳短波辐射计资料,分析了中国西北地区气溶胶的光学特性与辐射影响。利用辐射传输模式SBDART（平面平行大气辐射传输模式）检验TOA（大气层顶）处辐射强迫为正的原因。BOA（地表）、TOA、Atmosphere（大气）的辐射强迫年均值分别是-59.43 W m-2、-17.03 W m-2、42.40 W m-2,AOD（光学厚度,550 nm）年均值0.37,α（波段的波长指数,440~675 nm）年均值0.91,变化趋势与AOD位相相反,当AOD为0.3~2.2时,α很小（0.0~0.2）,表明粒子尺度很大。SSA（单次散射反照率,675 nm）年均值0.93,g（不对称因子,675 nm）年均值0.68,复折射指数（675 nm）实部年均值1.48,虚部0.007。复折射指数实部的年变化趋势与AOD一致,虚部与AOD反位相,所以西北地区多为粗模态散射性气溶胶。气溶胶对大气的加热率最大值出现在0~2 km,随高度递减。冬、夏半年在地表加热率分别是2.6 K d-1和0.6 K d-1;季节变化中,冬季、秋季、春季和夏季,在地表的加热率依次是2.5 K d-1、1.4 K d-1、1.2 K d-1和0.2 K d-1,主要因为秋季气溶胶的吸收性大于春季。地表反照率和SSA对TOA正辐射强迫贡献率分别是22.5%和77.5%。     

A study of aerosol properties over Lahore (Pakistan) by using AERONET data

It is well established that aerosols affect the climate in a variety of ways. In order to understand these effects, we require an insight into the properties of aerosols. In this paper we present a study of aerosol properties such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), single scattering albedo (SSA) and aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) over mega city of Lahore (Pakistan). The data from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) have been used for the period December 2009 to October 2011. The seasonal average values of AOD, asymmetry parameter (ASY) and volume size distribution in coarse mode were observed to be highest in summer. On the other hand, the average values of Angstrom exponent (AE) and imaginary part of refractive index (RI) were found to be maximum in winter. The average value of real part of RI was found to be higher in spring than in all other seasons. The SSA exhibited an increasing trend with wavelength in the range 440 nm–1020 nm in spring, summer and fall indicating the dominance of coarse particles (usually dust). However, a decreasing trend was found in winter in the range 675 nm–1020 nm pointing towards the dominance of biomass and urban/industrial aerosols. As far as aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) is concerned, we have found that during the spring season ARF was lowest at the surface of Earth and highest at top of the atmosphere (TOA). This indicates that the atmosphere was warmer in spring than in all the remaining seasons.     

Aerosol polarized phase function and single-scattering albedo retrieved from ground-based measurements

Aerosol optical parameters, polarized phase function and single-scattering albdeo, have been retrieved from ground-based sun photometer measurements in Beijing 2003. The measured aerosol optical thickness varies from 0.12 to 0.77 with an average value of 0.39. The measured Ångström coefficient ranges from 0.75 to 1.47 with an average value of 1.21. The retrieved single-scattering albedo at 870 nm is within the 0.76–0.94 range and the average value is 0.85, suggests there are considerable aerosol absorptions in Beijing. The maximum value of retrieved polarized phase function at 870 nm ranges from 0.068 to 0.225 with an average value of 0.16, and it illustrates good correlations with the Ångström coefficient, i.e. the relative size of aerosol particles. Analyses of measurements and theoretical calculations show the polarized phase function is sensitive to aerosol size distribution and complex refractive index, especially the imaginary part of the refractive index which denotes aerosol light absorbing effects. These results suggest that the polarized phase function is an effective and unique aerosol optical parameter and is able to improve the retrieval of aerosol physical properties.     

THE IMPACT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON THE RADIATIVE PROPERTY AND RADIATIVE FORCING OF SULFATE AEROSOL*

With the data of complex refractive index of sulfate aerosol,the radiative properties of the aerosol under 8 relative humidity conditions are calculated in this paper.By using the concentration distribution from two CTM models and LASG GOALS/AGCM,the radiative forcing due to hygroscopic sulfate aerosol is simulated.The results show that:(1)With the increase of relative humidity,the mass extinction coefficiency factor decreases in the shortwave spectrum;single scattering albedo keeps unchanged except for a little increase in longwave spectrum,and asymmetry factor increases in whole spectrum.(2)Larger differences occur in radiative forcingsimulated by using two CTM data,and the global mean forcing is -0.268 and -0.816 W/m²,respectively.(3)When the impact of relative humidity on radiative property is taken into account,the distribution pattern of radiative forcing due to the wet particles is very similar to that of dry sulfate,but the forcing value decreases by 60%.
