We describe one-dimensional (1D) simulations of the countergradient zone of mean potential temperature observed in the convective boundary layer (CBL). The method takes into account the third-order moments (TOMs) in a turbulent scheme of relatively low order, using the turbulent kinetic energy equation but without prognostic equations for other second-order moments. The countergradient term is formally linked to the third-order moments and , and a simple parameterization of these TOMs is proposed. It is validated for several cases of a dry CBL, using large-eddy simulations that have been realized from the MESO-NH model. The analysis of the simulations shows that TOMs are responsible for the inversion of the sign of in the higher part of the CBL, and budget analysis shows that the main terms responsible for turbulent fluxes and variances are now well reproduced. 相似文献

Observed winds,turbulence, and dispersion in built-up downtown areas of Oklahoma City and Manhattan 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Wind and tracer data from the Oklahoma City Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) and the Manhattan Madison Square Garden 2005 (MSG05)
urban field experiments are being analyzed to aid in understanding air flow and dispersion near street-level in built-up downtown
areas. The mean winds are separately calculated for groups of anemometers having similar exposures such as “near street level”
and “on building top”. Several general results are found, such as the scalar wind speed at street level is about 1/3 of that
at building top. Turbulent standard deviations of wind speed components and temperature, and vertical fluxes of momentum and
sensible heat, are calculated from sonic anemometers near street level at 20 locations in JU2003 and five locations in MSG05,
and from two rooftop locations in MSG05. The turbulence observations are consistent with observations in the literature at
other cities, although the JU2003 and MSG05 data are unique in that many data are available near street level. For example,
it is found that the local (i.e., at the measuring height) averages about 1.5 and the local averages about 0.25 in the two cities, where is the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations, is the friction velocity, and u is the wind speed. The ratio of temperature fluctuations to temperature scale, , averages about −3 in both cities, consistent with similarity theory for slightly unstable conditions, where is the standard deviation of temperature fluctuations, and is the temperature scale. The calculated Obukhov length, L, is also consistent with slightly unstable conditions near street level, even at night during JU2003. The SF6 tracer concentration observations from JU2003 are analyzed. Values of for the continuous releases are calculated for each release and arc distance, where is the 30-min average arc maximum concentration, Q is the continuous source emission rate, and u is the spatial-averaged wind speed in the downtown area. The basic characteristics of the JU2003 plot of averaged agree reasonably well with similar plots for other urban experiments in Salt Lake City and London (i.e., at . A is found to be about 3 during the day and about 10 during the night. 相似文献

We present surface-layer measurements of temperature fluctuation variance from a site characterized by small-scale inhomogeneities.
Periods of marked radiative forcing are selected. The data characterized by diabatic conditions and vertical heat flux larger
than some threshold (here, chosen to be 0.01 K ms−1) agree quite well with the convective scaling in unstable cases, and with the z-less parameterisation (with a large scatter) in stable cases. For near-neutral cases, the similarity function diverges because of the loss of significance
of the temperature scale. Departures from similarity are highlighted in cases with smaller thermal fluxes, because horizontal
heterogeneity and unsteadiness become important as production terms. 相似文献

Turbulence statistics obtained by direct numerical simulations are analysed to investigate spatial heterogeneity within regular
arrays of building-like cubical obstacles. Two different array layouts are studied, staggered and square, both at a packing
density of . The flow statistics analysed are mean streamwise velocity (), shear stress (), turbulent kinetic energy (k) and dispersive stress fraction (). The spatial flow patterns and spatial distribution of these statistics in the two arrays are found to be very different.
Local regions of high spatial variability are identified. The overall spatial variances of the statistics are shown to be
generally very significant in comparison with their spatial averages within the arrays. Above the arrays the spatial variances
as well as dispersive stresses decay rapidly to zero. The heterogeneity is explored further by separately considering six
different flow regimes identified within the arrays, described here as: channelling region, constricted region, intersection
region, building wake region, canyon region and front-recirculation region. It is found that the flow in the first three regions
is relatively homogeneous, but that spatial variances in the latter three regions are large, especially in the building wake
and canyon regions. The implication is that, in general, the flow immediately behind (and, to a lesser extent, in front of)
a building is much more heterogeneous than elsewhere, even in the relatively dense arrays considered here. Most of the dispersive
stress is concentrated in these regions. Considering the experimental difficulties of obtaining enough point measurements
to form a representative spatial average, the error incurred by degrading the sampling resolution is investigated. It is found
that a good estimate for both area and line averages can be obtained using a relatively small number of strategically located
sampling points. 相似文献

The present study investigated the chemical composition of wet atmospheric precipitation in India’s richest coal mining belt.
Total 418 samples were collected on event basis at six sites from July to October in 2003 and May to October in 2004 and analysed
for pH, EC, F−, Cl−, , , Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+ and . The average pH value (5.7) of the rainwater of the investigated area is alkaline in nature. However, the temporal pH variation
showed the alkaline nature during the early phase of monsoonal rainfall but it trends towards acidic during the late and high
rainfall periods. The rainwater chemistry of the region showed high contribution of Ca2+ (47%) and (21%) in cations and (55%) and Cl− (23%) in anionic abundance. The high non seas salt fraction (nss) of Ca2+ (99%) and Mg2+ (96%) suggests crustal source of the ions, while the high nss (96%) and high ratio signifying the impact of anthropogenic sources and the source of the acidity. The ratio of varies from 0.03 to 3.23 with the average value of 0.84 suggesting that Ca2+ and play a major role in neutralization processes. The assessment of the wet ionic deposition rates shows no any specific trend,

In order to quantitatively investigate the role of leads and sea-ice in air-mass modification, aircraft observations were
conducted over the partially ice-covered Sea of Okhotsk. We investigated two cold-air outbreak events with different sea-ice
concentrations. In both cases, the difference between the temperatures of surface air and the sea surface (ΔT) dropped rapidly with the accumulated fetch-width of leads up to about 35-40 km, and then decreased very slowly. The surface
sensible heat flux originating from open water was about 300 W m−2 within a few kilometres from the coast and decreased with increasing accumulated fetch-width. The sensible heat flux was
about 100 W m−2 on average. These results indicate that the downwind air-mass modification depends mainly on the total (accumulated) extent
of open water. The total buoyancy flux
calculated by the joint frequency distribution method correlated very well with ice concentration. Such a relationship was
not clear in the case of the moisture flux
. The ratio between rising thermals
and cold downdrafts
differed significantly between upwind and downwind regions; that is, the buoyancy flux was dominated by
in the developing stage of the boundary layer, while
also became important after the development of the boundary layer. 相似文献

Role of atmospheric ammonia in the formation of inorganic secondary particulate matter: A study at Kanpur,India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Levels of fine Particulate Matter (PMfine), SO2 and NOx are interlinked through atmospheric reactions to a large extent. NOx, NH3, SO2, temperature and humidity are the important atmospheric constituents/conditions governing formation of fine particulate sulfates
and nitrates. To understand the formation of inorganic secondary particles (nitrates and sulfates) in the atmosphere, a study
was undertaken in Kanpur, India. Specifically, the study was designed to measure the atmospheric levels of covering winter and summer seasons and day and night samplings to capture the diurnal variations. Results showed are found to be significantly high in winter season compared to the summer season. In winter, the molar ratio of to was found to be greater than 2:1. This higher molar ratio suggests that in addition to (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3 will be formed because of excess quantity of present. In summer, the molar ratio was less than 2:1 indicating deficit of to produce NH4NO3. The nitrogen conversion ratio (NO2 to NO3) was found to be nearly 50% in the study area that suggested quick conversion of NO2 into nitric acid. As an overall conclusion, this study finds that NH3 plays a vital role in the formation of fine inorganic secondary particles particularly so in winter months and there is a
need to identify and assess sources of ammonia emissions in India. 相似文献

Turbulent Intensities and Velocity Spectra for Bare and Forested Gentle Hills: Flume Experiments 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
To investigate how velocity variances and spectra are modified by the simultaneous action of topography and canopy, two flume
experiments were carried out on a train of gentle cosine hills differing in surface cover. The first experiment was conducted
above a bare surface while the second experiment was conducted within and above a densely arrayed rod canopy. The velocity
variances and spectra from these two experiments were compared in the middle, inner, and near-surface layers. In the middle
layer, and for the canopy surface, longitudinal and vertical velocity variances () were in phase with the hill-induced spatial mean velocity perturbation (Δu) around the so-called background state (taken here as the longitudinal mean at a given height) as predicted by rapid distortion
theory (RDT). However, for the bare surface case, and remained out of phase with Δu by about L/2, where L is the hill half-length. In the canopy layer, wake production was a significant source of turbulent energy for , and its action was to re-align velocity variances with Δu in those layers, a mechanism completely absent for the bare surface case. Such a lower ‘boundary condition’ resulted in longitudinal
variations of to be nearly in phase with Δu above the canopy surface. In the inner and middle layers, the spectral distortions by the hill remained significant for the
background state of the bare surface case but not for the canopy surface case. In particular, in the inner and middle layers
of the bare surface case, the effective exponents derived from the locally measured power spectra diverged from their expected
− 5/3 value for inertial subrange scales. These departures spatially correlated with the hill surface. However, for the canopy
surface case, the spectral exponents were near − 5/3 above the canopy though the minor differences from − 5/3 were also
correlated with the hill surface. Inside the canopy, wake production and energy short-circuiting resulted in significant departures
from − 5/3. These departures from − 5/3 also appeared correlated with the hill surface through the wake production contribution
and its alignment with Δu. Moreover, scales commensurate with Von Karman street vorticies well described wake production scales inside the canopy,
confirming the important role of the mean flow in producing wakes. The spectra inside the canopy on the lee side of the hill,
where a negative mean flow delineated a recirculation zone, suggested that the wake production scales there were ‘broader’
when compared to their counterpart outside the recirculation zone. Inside the recirculation zone, there was significantly
more energy at higher frequencies when compared to regions outside the recirculation zone. 相似文献

The two-year (1999–2000) rainwater chemistry at two monitoring sites in nearby coastal areas [Taiwan (TW) and Hong Kong (HK)]
within the Western Pacific region has been studied. The volume weighted average pH values for the entire sampling period in
TW and HK were 4.6 and 4.2, respectively. Sea salt Na+ and Cl− were the most abundant species in the TW samples but and H+ were the most abundant in the HK samples. The sea salt and concentrations at TW were higher than those at HK both in the cold and warm seasons. Chloride depletion was minimal in the
rainwater samples at both sites. Non seasalt- was associated with . Under the influence of the East Asian Winter Monsoon, the back-trajectory studies revealed that elevated anthropogenic species
concentrations were associated with trajectories (1) very near to the continental boundary layer of Mainland China; or (2)
along the coastline of Eastern China where large cities/industrial areas are located or (3) passing through the region of
stagnant air over Northern/Eastern China. The lowest anthropogenic and crustal species concentrations measured in HK are associated
with the summer monsoon and are attributed not only to the clean marine air masses but also to the relatively low SO2, NO
x
and NH3 emissions from the South/ South East Asian countries, as well as infrequent biomass burning activities and wet scavenging
at sources during the summer months. Approaching tropical cyclones led to the lowest pH values (4.2 in TW and 3.8 in HK) amongst
the other weather categories. The findings here have been compared with other studies within East Asia and elsewhere. 相似文献

The goal of this study is to determine the chemical composition of rain, in the wider region of Athens, Greece for the time
period 1st September 2001 to 31st August 2002. Two model automatic rain samplers were installed in the Meteorological Station
of Laboratory of Climatology (latitude: 37° 58′ N, longitude: 23° 47′ E) inside the Athens University Campus and in a site
at Heraklio Attica, a northern suburb of Athens (latitude: 38° 03′ N, longitude: 23° 45′ E). The concentrations (μeq l−1) of the major cations (H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) and anions (Cl−, , και ), as well as pH and conductivity of rain in 39 total samples were determined. The figures of pH range from 6.4 to 8.4 and
conductivity from 8 to 207 μS cm−1. The analysis showed that Ca2+ ions are abundant within all examined samples, while and present the highest concentrations from the anions. In order to find out the origin of the air masses, the air mass back
trajectories were calculated. Five sectors of the origin of air masses were revealed: the North, the South, the Local, the
West and the East sector. Multivariate methods included Factor Analysis and Discriminant Analysis were applied to the examined
ion concentrations and three main factors were extracted, which discriminated the ions according to their origin. The first
group of ions is interpreted as the result of the anthropogenic activity, the second group represents the acidity–alkalinity
independently of their source and the third one the marine influence. 相似文献

The note presents a rational approach to modelling the source/sink due to vegetation or buoyancy effects that appear in the
turbulent kinetic energy, E, equation and a supplementary equation for a length-scale determining variable, φ, when two-equation closure is applied to canopy and atmospheric boundary-layer flows. The approach implements only standard
model coefficients C
φ1 and C
φ2 in the production and destruction terms of the φ equation, respectively. Numerical tests illustrate the practical applicability of the method, where, for example, simulations
with the E–ω model (where is the specific dissipation and is the dissipation rate of E) properly reproduce both the surface-layer wind profile estimated from the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory and the mixing-height
evolution observed above forested terrain in Southern Finland. 相似文献

The turbulent flow inside dense canopies is characterized by wake production and short-circuiting of the energy cascade. How these processes affect passive scalar concentration variability in general and their spectral properties in particular remains a vexing problem. Progress on this problem is frustrated by the shortage of high resolution spatial concentration measurements, and by the lack of simplified analytical models that connect spectral modulations in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) cascade to scalar spectra. Here, we report the first planar two-dimensional scalar concentration spectra (ϕ
cc
) inside tall canopies derived from flow visualization experiments. These experiments were conducted within the deeper layers of a model canopy composed of densely arrayed cylinders welded to the bottom of a large recirculating water channel. We found that in the spectral region experiencing wake production, the ϕ
cc
exhibits directional scaling power laws. In the longitudinal direction (x), or the direction experiencing the largest drag force, the ϕ
cc
(k
x
) was steeper than and followed an approximate at wavenumbers larger than the injection scale of wake energy, where k
x
is the longitudinal wavenumber. In the lateral direction (y), the spectra scaled as up to the injection scale, and then decayed at an approximate
power law. This departure from the classical inertial subrange scaling (i.e., k
−5/3) was reproduced using a newly proposed analytical solution to a simplified scalar spectral budget equation. Near the velocity viscous dissipation range, the scalar spectra appear to approach an approximate k
−3, a tantalizing result consistent with dimensional analysis used in the inertial-diffusive range. Implications to subgrid modelling for large-eddy simulations (LES) inside canopies are briefly discussed. 相似文献

A linear model for neutral surface-layer flow over orography is presented. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes and E– turbulence closure equations are expressed in a terrain-following coordinate system created from a simple analytical expression
in the Fourier domain. The perturbation equations are solved spectrally horizontally and by numerical integration vertically.
Non-dimensional solutions are stored in look-up tables for quick re-use. Model results are compared to measurements, as well
as other authors’ flow models in three test cases. The model is implemented and tested in two-dimensional space; the equations
for a full three-dimensional version are presented. 相似文献

The precipitation events (n = 91), collected for 3 years (2000–2002) during the period of SW-monsoon (Jun–Aug) from an urban
site (Ahmedabad, 23.0°N, 72.6°E) of a semi-arid region in western India, are found to exhibit characteristic differences in
terms of their solute contents. The low solute (<700 μeq L−1) events are either marked by heavy precipitation amount or successive events collected during an extended rain spell; whereas
light precipitation events occurring after antecedent dry period are characterized by high solutes (>700 μeq L−1). The ionic composition of low solute events show large variability due to varying contribution of anthropogenic species
(: 1%–74%; : 1%–25%; and : 8%–68%) to the respective ion balance. In high solute events, ionic abundances are dominated by mineral dust (Ca2+ and ) and sea-salts (Na+ and Cl−). These differences are also reflected in the pH of low solute events (range: 5.2–7.4, VWM: 6.4) and high solute events (range:
6.6–8.2, VWM: 7.3). The comparison of Ca2+/Na+ and nss- ratios (on equivalent basis) in rain and aerosols suggests that the ionic composition of high solute events is influenced
by below-cloud scavenging; whereas evidence for in-cloud scavenging is significantly reflected in low solute events. The annual
wet-deposition fluxes of and are 330 and 480 mg m−2 y−1, respectively, in contrast to their corresponding dry-deposition fluxes (14 and 160 mg m−2 y−1); whereas wet and dry removal of Ca2+, Mg2+ and are comparable. 相似文献

The reactions of three structurally similar unsaturated alcohols, 2-buten-1-ol (crotyl alcohol), 2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol (MPO221)
and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol (MBO321) with Cl atoms, have been investigated for the first time, using a 400 l Teflon reaction
chamber coupled with gas chromatograph-coupled with flame-ionization detection (GC-FID). The experiments were performed at
atmospheric pressure and at temperatures between 255 and 298 K, in air or nitrogen as the bath gas. The obtained kinetic data
were used to derive the Arrhenius expressions , , (in units of cm3 molecule−1 s−1). Finally, atmospheric lifetimes of those unsaturated alcohols with respect to OH, NO3, O3 and Cl have been calculated. 相似文献

The aqueous phase acid-catalyzed reaction of methanol (CH3OH) with nitric acid (HNO3) to yield methyl nitrate (CH3ONO2) under atmospheric conditions has been investigated using gas-phase infrared spectroscopy. Reactions were conducted in aqueous
sulfuric acid solutions (50.5–63.6 wt.%) with [CH3OH] = 0.00005–0.005 M and [HNO3] = 0.02–0.21 M, at 278.2–328.6 K. Methyl nitrate production rates increased linearly with CH3OH and HNO3 concentrations and exponentially with sulfuric acid weight percent within the regime studied. Rates increased linearly with
nitronium ion concentration, indicating that the reaction involves as the nitrating agent under these conditions. At 298 K, the rate of methyl nitrate production can be calculated from k

[CH3OH][HNO3], where k
obs
= 2.337 × 10−13(exp(0.3198*wt.% H2SO4)) when the solubility of CH3ONO2 in acidic solution is approximated by H* for pure water. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient is related to solution composition, with activation energies
of 59 and 49 kJ/mol at 51.1 and 63.6 wt.% H2SO4, respectively, when k is calculated from rate. The temperature dependence has also been parameterized for application to the atmosphere, but the small quantities of present in aerosol particles will result in methyl nitrate production rates too small to be of significance under most atmospheric
conditions.

Energy- and flux-budget (EFB) turbulence closure model for stably stratified flows. Part I: steady-state,homogeneous regimes 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

We propose a new turbulence closure model based on the budget equations for the key second moments: turbulent kinetic and
potential energies: TKE and TPE (comprising the turbulent total energy: TTE = TKE + TPE) and vertical turbulent fluxes of
momentum and buoyancy (proportional to potential temperature). Besides the concept of TTE, we take into account the non-gradient
correction to the traditional buoyancy flux formulation. The proposed model permits the existence of turbulence at any gradient
Richardson number, Ri. Instead of the critical value of Richardson number separating—as is usually assumed—the turbulent and
the laminar regimes, the suggested model reveals a transitional interval, , which separates two regimes of essentially different nature but both turbulent: strong turbulence at ; and weak turbulence, capable of transporting momentum but much less efficient in transporting heat, at . Predictions from this model are consistent with available data from atmospheric and laboratory experiments, direct numerical
simulation and large-eddy simulation. 相似文献

This article presents a complete study of the diurnal chemical reactivity of the biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC), 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) in the troposphere. Reactions of MBO with OH and with ozone were studied to analyse the respective parts of both processes in the global budget of MBO atmospheric reactivity. They were investigated under controlled conditions for pressure (atmospheric pressure) and temperature (298 ± 2 K) using three complementary European simulation chambers. Reaction with OH radicals was studied in the presence of and in the absence of NO
x
. The kinetic study was carried out by relative rate study using isoprene as a reference. The rate constant found for this reaction was molecule−1 cm3 s−1. FTIR spectroscopy, DNPH- and PFBHA-derivatisation analyses were performed for reactions with both OH radicals and ozone. In both reactions, the hydroxycarbonyl compound, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal (HMPr) was positively identified and quantified, with a yield of in the reaction with OH, and a yield of and 0.84 ± 0.08 in the reaction with ozone under dry (HR < 1%) and humid conditions (HR = 20%–30%). A primary production of two other carbonyl compounds, acetone , and formaldehyde was found in the case of the dry ozonolysis experiments. Under humid conditions, only formaldehyde was co-produced with HMPr as a primary carbonyl compound, with a yield of . For the reaction with OH, three other carbonyl compounds were detected, acetone , formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde . In addition some realistic photo-oxidation experiments were performed to understand in an overall way the transformations of MBO in the atmosphere. The realistic photo-oxidation experiments were conducted in the EUPHORE outdoor simulation chamber. It was found that this compound is a weak secondary aerosol producer (less than 1% of the carbon balance). But it was confirmed that it is a potentially significant source of acetone, Δ[Acetone]/Δ[MBO] = 0.45. With our experimental conditions ([MBO]0 = 200 ppb, [NO]o = 50 ppb), an ozone yield of Δ[O3]/Δ[MBO] = 1.05 was found. 相似文献

In this study, profile functions for flux calculations during unstable conditions are proposed and examined. These functions are based on a direct interpolation for the dimensionless wind speed and temperature gradients between the standard Businger–Dyer formulae,
,
, and free convection forms,
,
being the Monin–Obukhov stability parameter. A previously presented interpolation between the corresponding profile relationships, in attempting to provide a general relationship for the whole unstable regime, leads to serious restrictions for the values of
in the free convection forms. These restrictions rendered available experimental data almost inapplicable, since the behaviour of the formulae in the near-neutral range controls the values of those parameters. The proposed interpolation provides functions that, firstly, fit the standard Businger–Dyer forms for near-neutral conditions and, secondly, satisfy the asymptotic behaviour as
, permitting wider ranges of possible
values. This step is very important, taking into account the large spread of the experimental data. Thus, as further and more accurate observations at strong instability become available, this approach could prove very efficient in fitting these data while retaining correct near-neutral behaviour. 相似文献

We have studied a neutrally-stratified flow over two-dimensional hills using a two-dimensional, non-hydrostatic version of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). We have implemented three different turbulence closure models: the standardE- model, an Algebraic Reynolds Stress Model (ARSM) and a new
model. Model predictions for the mean and turbulence flows using different closure schemes are compared with the data of a wind tunnel experiment containing isolated two-dimensional hills of varying slope. From the comparison, it is concluded that all three models predict the mean flow velocities equally well while only the new
closure model accurately predicts the turbulence data statistics.The research reported in this paper was conducted while the first author held a National Research Council (NRC) Associateship. 相似文献
