利用AIRS观测资料进行红外高光谱大气探测能力试验的研究

利用EOS Aqua卫星平台上搭载的光栅式高光谱分辨率大气红外探测仪器AIRS（Atmospheric Infrared Sounder）的实际观测资料，采用经验正交函数展开法（特征向量法）进行了大气温度、湿度廓线的反演误差敏感性试验研究。试验内容包括光谱覆盖、通道覆盖、通道宽度等。通过这些试验，研究在中国现有的经济、技术条件下要达到在对流层1km气层温度、湿度分别小于1K和20％的反演精度和垂直分辨率所应该具备的光谱通道特征，为发展中国自己的红外高光谱分辨率探测技术提供科学依据。试验计算结果表明，基于中国现有的经济和技术基础，发展具有100个左右的光谱通道，通道宽度为2-4个波数的干涉式红外大气探测仪器（比中国目前FY-3初期的滤光片式红外分光计的光谱波段宽度减小3-4倍），可明显改善大气参数反演精度，基本满足现阶段使用要求。     

低高度角大气静力学延迟修正的改进

进行低高度角观测是GPS(Global Positioning System)气象学的发展趋势,其中发展高精度的低高度角的大气静力学延迟修正是主要的关键技术.比较了3种计算无线电波从空间到地面接收机的大气静力学延迟修正方法:(1)在大气球对称假设下用探空气球资料路径积分得到大气静力学延迟;(2)在大气球对称假设下用NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction)再分析资料得到大气静力学延迟;(3)用Niell的大气静力学映射函数得到大气静力学延迟.与2001年中国地区89个探空气球站资料计算得到的大气静力学映射函数比较结果显示:NCEP再分析资料路径积分的方法在低高度角(5°以下)的精度好于Niell映射函数模型约5倍.

Impacts of sea spray on the boundary layer structure of Typhoon Imbudo

High winds in a typhoon over the ocean can produce substantial amounts of spray in the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer, which can modify the transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture across the air-sea interface. However, the consequent effects on the boundary layer structure and the evolution of the typhoon are largely unknown. The focus of this paper is on the role of sea spray on the storm intensity and the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer. The case study is Typhoon Imbudo in July 2003. The results show that sea spray tends to intensify storms by increasing the sea surface heat fluxes. Moreover, the effects of sea spray are mainly felt in boundary layer. Spray evaporation causes the atmospheric boundary layer to experience cooling and moistening. Sea spray can cause significant effects on the structure of boundary layer. The boundary-layer height over the eyewall area east to the center of Typhoon Imbudo was increased with a maximum up to about 550 m due to sea spray, which is closely related with the enhancements of the heat fluxes, upward motions, and horizontal winds in this region due to sea spray.     

The vertical structure of the atmospheric boundary layer over the central Arctic Ocean

The tropopause height and the atmospheric boundarylayer （PBL） height as well as the variation of inversion layer above the floating ice surface are presented using GPS （global position system ） radiosonde sounding data and relevant data obtained by Chinas fourth arctic scientific expedition team over the central Arctic Ocean （86°-88°N, 144°-170°W） during the summer of 2010. The tropopause height is from 9.8 to 10.5 km, with a temperature range between -52.2 and -54.10C in the central Arctic Ocean. Two zones of maximum wind （over 12 m/s） are found in the wind profile, namely, low- and upper-level jets, located in the middle troposphere and the tropopause, respectively. The wind direction has a marked variation point in the two jets from the southeast to the southwest. The average PBL height determined by two methods is 341 and 453 m respectively. These two methods can both be used when the inversion layer is very low, but the results vary significantly when the inversion layer is very high. A significant logarithmic relationship exists between the PBL height and the inversion intensity, with a correlation coefficient of 0.66, indicating that the more intense the temperature inversion is, the lower the boundary layer will be. The observation results obviously differ from those of the third arctic expedition zone （800-85° N）. The PBL height and the inversion layer thickness are much lower than those at 870-88° N, but the inversion temperature is more intense, meaning a strong ice- atmosphere interaction in the sea near the North Pole. The PBL structure is related to the weather system and the sea ice concentration, which affects the observation station.     

全球变化下北方农牧交错地带区域适应能力评价模型研究

以可持续发展理论为指导,依据2006年全球变化人类行为计划（IHDP）第六届开放会议精神,参考前人有关生态环境评价框架和指标组合研究,建立了适合北方农牧交错地带特点的区域适应能力评价模型（PSR-RAD）,并对模型的构建思想、参数意义和评价指标的具体计算进行了探讨,以期为全球变化区域响应研究提供参考。针对北方农牧交错地带的实际情况,PSRRAD模型将第四纪地质地貌与现代生态环境研究整合,提出第四纪地质脆弱指数概念,在生态环境胁迫分析中,提出衡量农牧交错地带农牧业环境胁迫程度的地农牧业生产量指数的概念,使生态环境先天与后天胁迫因子、自然与人文因子得以客观体现,对生态环境脆弱性研究的时间和空间尺度均有所拓展。

Source apportionment and distribution of atmospheric mercury in urban Beijing,China

The concentration of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) in the atmosphere of urban Beijing was measured from October 2003 to September 2004 to investigate the origins and spatial-temporal variations of atmospheric Hg. The mean value of Hg concentration is 17.1 ng·m-3 (n=653). The atmospheric Hg data showed spatial-temporal variations throughout the duration of our observation. The maximum GEM concentration (53.7 ng·m-3) was observed at Gucheng in the western area of urban Beijing. The GEM concentrations increased from the north to the south of the studied area, and were higher in winter than in summer. The highest and lowest monthly averages of GEM concentrations were measured to be 23.3 and 4.1 ng·m-3 in January and July, respectively. In addition, GEM concentrations are higher in the daytime than at night in Autumn and from 14 March to 15 April, but daily GEM variation showed an inverse pattern from 22 April to 22 May. In winter, two peak values of GEM concentrations occurred at 13:30 and 21:30. Daily variation of GEM concentrations in summer was the lowest in the four seasons. Mercury from coal combustion was estimated to be the main source of anthropogenic emissions in Beijing from October 2003 to September 2004. Additionally, Hg emission from natural gas burning was estimated to be another dominant source of atmospheric Hg in Beijing.
