MEASUREMENTS AND MODEL SIMULATIONS OF SURFACE OZONE VARIATIONS AT DIFFERENT BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS OF THE PRECURSORS*

Ozone photochemical production and loss in very different environments at Waliguan baseline station and Lin'an background station were simulated by using the measurement data and photochemical box model.The results show that net ozone photochemical production rate is negative,about 0.5 ppb/d,at Waliguan baseline sation,because of very low precursor concentrations.But at Lin'an background station,the net photochemical ozone production is positive,about 2-3 ppb/h.which is very closed with the measurement at Lin'an.That means ozone production was controlled by photochemical reactions at Lin'an background station,because of the higher precursor concentrations.The net destruction rate,at Waliguan Mt.,is not large,so that future increase in anthropogenic emission of reactive nitrogen will lead to larger production rates of steady-state O₃ concentration.     

A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE VARIATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF TROPOSPHERIC OZONE AND ITS PRECURSORS OVER CHINA

By means of a three-dimensional meteorological model(MM5)and a chemical model,thedistributions of tropospheric ozone and its precursors over China have been simulated in summerand winter time,16—18 August 1994 and 7—9 January 1995.The distribution of ozone over theTibetan Plateau in summer time is deeply discussed.The simulated results indicate that thedistributions of surface ozone and NO_x are in good agreement with observed results,and humanactivities and photochemical reactions are the main factors controlling the surface ozone and NO_xconcentrations.In addition,higher ozone concentrations are coincided with the air convergence,and the lower concentrations are related to the air divergence.In summer,over the TibetanPlateau the strong flow convergence results in higher ozone concentrations in the lowertroposphere:and the strong flow divergence results in lower ozone concentrations in the uppertroposphere.In winter time ozone concentrations show Iarge-scale characteristics controlled bywesterly flow,and in the jet area they are lower than those outside the jet.

MODEL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF SOIL NO EMISSIONS ON SURFACE OZONE

The effect of soil NO emissions on surface ozone in autumn in East China has been studied byusing TCTM(Troposphere Chemical Transport Model)with the input of meteorological variablesfrom RAMS.The chemical mechanism for ozone variation caused by soil emissions has also beeninvestigated.The model results reveal that soil NO emissions are important to regional ozoneformation and distribution and the effect of soil NO emissions shows spatial inhomogeneity.Ozoneover most areas in northern China decreases with maximum average decrement reaching 5 ppbwhile it increases over most areas of central and southern China with maximum average incrementreaching 7 ppb caused by soil NO emissions.This situation of ozone variation is mainly determinedby nonlinear photochemical mechanism.For the low NOx areas(≤3 ppb),ozone increases as NOxincreases;for the high NOx areas(>3 ppb),ozone decreases as NOx increases.The effect of soilNO emissions on ozone depends on the transition value and NOx concentrations.     

中国地区对流层臭氧变化和分布的数值研究

利用三维中尺度非静力模式ＭＭ５和化学模式,对１９９４年８月１６～１８日,１９９５年１月７～９日冬夏两个不同时期中国大陆大气对流层臭氧及其前体物质的分布进行了数值模拟。同时深入地分析了青藏高原地区夏季对流层臭氧的分布。模拟结果地面臭氧和ＮＯｘ的分布与观测结果基本一致,人类活动和光化过程是决定地面臭氧和ＮＯｘ的主要因子。对流层臭氧浓度的分布与气流的辐合辐散存在较好的对应关系,辐合区臭氧浓度较高,辐散区臭氧浓度较低。夏季,青藏高原中低空存在很强的辐合气流,使周边臭氧向高原辐合;而高原高空,受南亚高压控制存在很强的反气旋环流,臭氧由高原向周边辐散。冬季,受西风气流控制,臭氧分布表征大尺度特征。西风急流区臭氧浓度偏低,而急流两侧臭氧浓度偏高。

DISTRIBUTIONS AND VARIATIONS OF SURFACE OZONE IN CHANGSHU, YANGTZE DELTA REGION*

Through one and half year continuous in-situ measurements,the distributions and variations of surface ozone and its precursors at a typical mixed agricultural and metropolitan area-Changshu,Yangtze Delta region,were studied.The preliminary analysis on the concentration levels and variations of surface ozone indicated the obvious seasonal and diurnal cycles during the experiment.The hourly averaged concentrations of surface ozone were high,in about 17% of total valid hours the surface ozone concentration exceeded 50 ppb,and in 22 days the hourly averaged ozone concentration was greater than 100 ppb.There were about 40% of the days in that the daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentration was greater than 50 ppb.The days with daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentration greater than 80 ppb were about 33 days that accounted for about 8% of the observational days.The variations of 5-day moving averaged ozone concentrations depended both on the weather conditions and on the changes of ozone in background atmosphere.Photochemical process had the significant impacts on ozone productions.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE SEASONAL VARIATION OF TROPOSPHERIC OZONE OVER CHINA

An updated version of the Regional Acid Deposition Model(RADM)driven by meteorologicalfields derived from Chinese Regional Climate Model(CRegCM)is used to simulate seasonal variationof tropospheric ozone over the eastern China.The results show that:(1)Peak O_3 concentration moves from south China to north China responding to the changing ofsolar perpendicular incidence point from south to north.When solar perpendicular incidence pointmoves from north to south,so does the peak O_3 concentration.(2)In the eastern China.the highest O_3 month-average concentration appears in July.thelowest in January and the medium in April and October.The pattern mainly depends on the solarradiation,the concentration of O_3 precursors NO_x and NMHC and the ratio of NMHC/NO_x.(3)Daily variations of O_3 over the eastern China are clear.Namely,O_3 concentrations rise withthe sun rising and the maximums appear at noon.then O_3 concentrations decrease.The highest dailyvariation range of O_3 appears in summer(40×10~(-9) in volume fraction)and the lowest in winter(20×10~(-9) in volume fraction).(4)Daily variations of O_3 over the western China are not clear.The daily variation range of O_3 isless than 10×10~(-9) in volume fraction.

南极上空“臭氧洞”形成和演变的分析研究

近十年来，南极地区上空“臭氧洞”的出现、演变趋势及其可能产生的生物学效应和气候效应引起世人的普遍关注和担忧。目前在南极“臭氧洞”形成理论方面，人类活动影响学说占有统治地位，但两年前魏鼎提出的“电化学－动力学”理论颇受重视。本根据作在日本南极昭和站（60°00′S，39°35′E）工作期间，收集和观测到南极臭氧数据、极地涡旋以及有关的太阳和射电活动等方面的资料，作了仔细的统计相关分析。结果为魏鼎提出的理论提供了新的直接证据，进一步指出了由太阳活动所导致的带电粒子流准11年周期变化与南极上空特有的大气环流相结合，是南极“臭氧洞”形成的重要原因，但人类活动（释放化学物质，特别是CFCs）所带来的影响也不容忽视。

1979—2011年热带对流层顶高度线性趋势变化的因子贡献及其年际变率成因探讨

利用美国国家环境预报中心/大气研究中心(NCEP/NCAR)再分析资料分析了近30年(1979—2011年)热带(0~360 °E,20 °S~20 °N)对流层顶高度变化,结果显示其高度有明显的线性上升趋势,近30年气压下降了3.5 hPa。其中对流、臭氧和对流层温度的贡献分别为13.3%、27.26%和57.31%。在去除线性趋势后,热带对流层顶气压表现出了显著的年际变率,主要周期峰值为18.2、28.6和40个月。其中臭氧和热带对流层温度都对18.2个月的周期有贡献,而臭氧和热带对流层温度18.2个月的周期很可能是由北半球的季风环流引起的;28.6个月的周期主要源于臭氧总量的准两年周期变化,而后者是由热带平流层低层纬向风场的准两年振荡引起的;热带对流层顶气压40个月的周期似乎源于ENSO循环引起的对流层温度变化。
