青藏高原地区大气红外探测器（AIRS）资料质量检验及揭示的上对流层水汽特征

上对流层水汽（UTWV）是大气中最重要的温室气体,对全球气候变暖有重要贡献; 而青藏高原被认为是UTWV进入平流层的重要通道,在平流层－对流层水汽交换及平流层水汽变化中扮演着重要角色。首先利用高原探空站资料对大气红外探测器（AIRS）反演的水汽数据在高原地区的质量进行了检验,发现AIRS反演的水汽数据与探空实测数据是相当一致的。其中全年和夏半年AIRS的可信度较好,而冬半年,尤其是上对流层AIRS水汽可信度相对较低,但在缺乏高精密数据时仍部分可用。利用AIRS资料对青藏高原地区UTWV季节变化特征进行了分析,结果表明,高原冬季偏干,而夏季显著偏湿,并且空间分布具有明显的不均匀性。经验正交函数(EOF)分析显示,夏季高原UTWV主要存在三种空间分布型,即全区一致型,高原东西偶极型和南北带状偶极型。一致型分布具有明显的季节变化,而偶极型则以季节内振荡为主。在此基础上,重点研究夏半年高原地区UTWV季节内振荡特征,结果表明,UTWV季节内振荡的显著周期位于10～20天和30～60天。前者主要表现为纬向东传,并且可以越过高原进入我国江淮流域上空;而后者主要向南移动,基本表现为高原局地振荡。最后,进一步探讨了高原UTWV季节内振荡的可能机制,结果表明,高原地区UTWV的低频变化主要与高原热状况、南亚高压活动及其与二者相耦合的对流活动有关。

Features of ozone mini-hole events over the Tibetan Plateau

Based on TOMS total ozone data and SCIAMACHY ozone profile data, climatology of the ozone minihole events over the Tibetan Plateau and ozone vertical structure variations during an ozone mini-hole event in December 2003 are analyzed. The analyses show that before 1990 ozone mini-hole events only occurred in November–December of 1987 but that the number of events increases after 1990. These events only occur from October through February, with maximum occurrence frequency in December. During the event in Dec...     

Air Temperature Changes over the Tibetan Plateau and Other Regions in the Same Latitudes and the Role of Ozone Depletion

Using radiosonde and satellite observations, we investigated the trends of air temperature changes over the Tibetan Plateau （TP） in comparison with those over other regions in the same latitudes from 1979 to 2002. It is shown that Over the TP, the trends of air temperature changes in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere were out of phase with those in the lower to middle troposphere. Air temperature decreased and a decreasing trend appeared in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere. The amplitude of the annual or seasonal mean temperature decreases over the TP was larger than that over the whole globe. In the lower to middle troposphere over the TP, temperature increased, and the increasing trend was stronger than that over the non-plateau regions in the same latitudes in the eastern part of China. Meanwhile, an analysis of the satellite observed ozone data in the same period of 1979-2002 shows that over the TP, the total ozone amount declined in all seasons, and the ozone depleted the most compared with the situations in other regions in the same latitudes. It is proposed that the difference between the ozone depletion over the TP and that over other regions in the same latitudes may lead to the difference in air temperature changes. Because of the aggravated depletion of ozone over the TP, less （more） ultraviolet radiation was absorbed in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere （lower to middle troposphere） over the TP, which favored a stronger cooling in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere, and an intenser heating in the lower to middle troposphere over the TP. Therefore, the comparatively more depletion of ozone over the TP is possibly a reason for the difference between the air temperature changes over the TP and those over other regions in the same latitudes.     

Ozone in ambient air at a tropical megacity, Delhi: characteristics, trends and cumulative ozone exposure indices

Seven year data of hourly surface ozone concentration is analyzed to study diurnal cycle, trends, excess of ozone levels above threshold value and cumulative ozone exposure indices at a tropical megacity, Delhi. The ozone levels clearly exhibit a diurnal cycle, similar to what has been found in other urban places. A sharp increase in the ozone levels during forenoon and a sharp decrease in the early afternoon can be observed. The average rate of increase in ozone concentration between 09 and 12 h has been observed to be 7.1 ppb h⁻¹. We find that the daily maximum and daytime 8-h (10–17 h) ozone levels are increasing at a rate of about 1.7 (± 0.7) and 1.3 (± 0.56) ppb y⁻¹, respectively. The directives on ozone pollution in ambient air provided by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and World Health Organization for vegetation (AOT40) and human health protection were used to assess the air quality. The present surface ozone levels in the city are high enough to exceed “Critical Levels” which are considered to be safe for human health, vegetation and forest. The human health threshold was exceeded for up to ~45 days per year. The AOT40 (Accumulated exposure Over a Threshold of 40 ppb) threshold was exceeded significantly during winter (D-J-F) and pre-monsoon (M-A-M) (Rabi crop growing season) season in India. Translating AOT40 exceedances during pre-monsoon into relative yield loss we estimate yield loss of 22.7%, 22.5%, 16.3% and 5.5% for wheat, cotton, soybean and rice, respectively.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2-D COUPLED STRATOSPHERIC-TROPOSPHERIC DYNAMICAL-RADIATIVE-CHEMICAL MODEL—PART Ⅰ:THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MODEL AND ITS PRELIMINARY RESULTS

In this paper,a two-dimensional(2-D)coupled stratospheric-tropospheric dynamical-radiative-chemical model has been developed,and some preliminary results have been given.From theseresults we can see that the latitude-height distribution characteristics and the seasonal variation ofthe dynamical fields such as atmospheric temperature,wind field,etc.can be effectively simulatedby using this model;and the modelled latitude-height distribution of trace gases gives theirdistribution characteristics and seasonal variation rather well.All of these are testimony to thestrong ability of the model.     

The Gas-Phase Chemistry Of Urban Atmospheres

This paper reviews the chemistry of urban atmospheres,using recent measurement data to highlight the key concepts. We briefly summarise historical reports of air pollution and the impact that human activities have had on urban atmospheres since the IndustrialRevolution. Although pollution events in the first half of the 20th century were caused by high concentrations of smoke and sulphur dioxide, photochemical pollution has become the major problem in most of the major citiesaround the world. The chemistry of photochemical pollution episodes is discussed in some detail, particularly the crucial role played by volatile organic carbon and nitrogen oxides. Issues to be considered when modelling the chemistry of urban areas are briefly summarised, such as the uncertainties in chemical mechanisms and emission inventories, as well as the complexities of dynamical processes. Finally, we present some recent issues in urban chemistry, including the discovery that the amount of volatile organic carbon in urban atmospheres may be grossly under-estimated. We also use modelling resultsto show the importance of the reaction of ozone with reactive hydrocarbons as a radical source in urban atmospheres. Finally, the use of NO_X-NO₂ relationships to predict annual mean NO₂ concentrations is discussed.
