As part of a series of studies on laser propagation for terrestrial free space optical (FSO) telecommunications or laser telecommunications, an experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between visibility in fog and optical attenuation (dB/km) at a laser wavelength of 1.55 μm. In the telecommunications industry, a semi-empirical equation, called the Kruse formula [Kruse, P.W., McGlauchlin, L., McQuistan, R.B., 1962. Elements of infrared technology: generation, transmission, and detection. John Wiley and Sons, New York] is typically used to calculate expected attenuation for a given meteorological visibility. The Kruse formula, however, was developed to relate meteorological visibility to optical attenuation over wavelengths from the visible to the near infrared (IR), and for dust and small particle aerosols with dimensions much smaller than the wavelength. Typically, suspended small aerosols have diameters that average about 0.1 μm while fog droplets have diameters that range upward from 2.5 μm with mean diameters that exceed 10 μm in some fogs. Therefore, application of the Kruse formula to attenuation in fog is not appropriate since fogs consist mainly of particles much larger than the laser wavelength. As part of the experiment, a transmissometer with an 85-m baseline and a dynamic range of 60 dB operated for thirteen months in an area prone to radiation fog. A commercial visibility sensor, similar to those used at airports, was located near the middle of the optical path of the transmissometer and operated over the same period. The largest attenuation measured at this site was just over 300 dB/km, corresponding to a visibility of 32 m. The key finding of the study is that the generally accepted Kruse formula relating visibility and optical attenuation may be too pessimistic at low visibilities, and actual attenuation values for a given visibility may be more than 20% lower than previously thought. At visibilities exceeding about 650 m, the Kruse formula gives a good estimate of optical attenuation.  相似文献

Measurements from July 4 to July 8, 2005 by a high resolution visible radiometer, a Raman lidar, a ground particulate matter sampler, and ground meteorological sensors have been combined in synergy to infer the intrusion over south-east Italy, of air masses from north-west Sahara, the Atlantic Ocean, and the continental Europe. It is shown that backscatter coefficient, depolarization-ratio, and lidar ratio vertical profiles represent the best tools to detect the intrusion of long range transported air masses and to monitor their effects on the vertical distribution of aerosol optical and microphysical properties. High resolution radiometers are instead important tools to monitor changes on columnar aerosol properties and size distributions.Backscatter coefficient, depolarization-ratio, and lidar ratio vertical profiles have revealed that aerosol optical and microphysical properties significantly changed with time and space during African dust outbreaks: the intrusion of dust particles that at first occurred above 2 km of altitude extending up to 6 km, affected the all aerosol load down to ground within few hours. Aerosol size distributions showed during dust events a clear bimodality with an accumulation mode maximum at 0.24 µm and a coarse mode maximum at 0.94 μm. Conversely, we have found that during the advection of air masses from the Atlantic and continental Europe, aerosol particles were mainly located below 2 km, their optical and microphysical properties were affected by smaller changes in time and space, and were characterized by depolarization ratios rather close to those due to a pure molecular atmosphere. In this case bimodal size distributions with an accumulation mode showing two sub-modes at 0.16 μm and 0.24 μm, respectively and a coarse mode centred at 0.94 μm have also been observed.  相似文献

Measurements of the small-, intermediate-, and large-ion concentrations and the air–earth current density along with simultaneous measurements of the concentration and size distribution of aerosol particles in the size ranges 4.4–163 nm and 0.5–20 μm diameter are reported for a drifting snow period after the occurrence of a blizzard at a coastal station, Maitri, Antarctica. Ion concentrations of all categories and the air–earth current simultaneously decrease by approximately an order of magnitude as the wind speed increases from 5 to 10 ms− 1. The rate of decrease is the highest for large ions, lowest for small ions and in-between the two for intermediate ions. Total aerosol number concentration decreases in the 4.4–163 nm size range but increases in the 0.5–20 μm size range with wind speed. The size distribution of the nanometer particles shows a dominant maximum at ~ 30 nm diameter throughout the period of observations and the height of the maximum decreases with wind speed. However, larger particles show a maximum at ~ 0.7 μm diameter but the height of the maximum increases with increasing wind speed. The results are explained in terms of scavenging of atmospheric ions and aerosols by the drifting snow particles.  相似文献

The particulate matter pollution has been serious in Chinese megacities due to the rapidly expanding economic and industrial developments, which has significant influences in atmospheric visibility. Visibility is a highly relevant factor indicating the level of atmospheric quality, and is inversely related to the optical extinction coefficient caused by gas and particle phases. In our study, visibility trends for six major megacities (Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Xi'an) in China were evaluated during 1973–2007 on the basis of the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) database using four measurement methods: the days per year of daily visibility < 10 km, the days per year of daily visibility > 19 km, the annual mean visibility, and the dry extinction coefficient. The annual and seasonal change trends of visibility for each city were analyzed by using a linear regression model. The annual mean visibilities for the six cities (Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Xi'an) were 10.67, 8.60, 10.76, 8.59, 8.16, and 9.74 km respectively. Shenyang has experienced a significant increasing trend during the entire time series while visibilities for other five sites showed decreasing trends especially since the middle of 1990s. In the southern and midwestern regions (Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Xi'an), visibility was best in summer, whereas in the northern regions (Beijing and Shenyang), visibility was best in spring. Mean visibility in spring was worst at Guangzhou, while for the other five cities visibility in winter was worst, probably because of coal burning during the heating period. The general degradation of visibility in these megacities was probably due to the excess aerosol loading. Consequently, an urgent targeted reduction of aerosol pollution may be needed for the sake of better air quality in Chinese megacities.  相似文献

The main objective of this study is to investigate the chemical characteristics of biomass burning aerosol and its impact on regional air quality during an agricultural waste burning period in early summer in the rural areas of Korea. A 12-h integrated intensive sampling of biomass burning aerosol in the fine and coarse modes was conducted on 2–20 June 2003 in Gwangju, Korea. The collected samples were analyzed for concentrations of mass, ionic, elemental, and carbonaceous species. Average concentrations of fine and coarse mass were measured to be 67.9 and 18.7 μg m− 3 during the biomass burning period, 41.9 and 18.8 μg m− 3 during the haze period, and 35.6 and 13.3 μg m− 3 during the normal period, respectively. An exceptionally high PM2.5 concentration of 110.3 μg m− 3 with a PM2.5/PM10 ratio of 0.79 was observed on 6 June 2003 during the biomass burning period. The potassium ratio method was used to identify biomass burning samples. The average ratio of potassium in the fine mode to the coarse mode (FK/CK) was 23.8 during the biomass burning period, 6.0 during the haze period, and 4.7 during the normal period, respectively. A FK/CK ratio above 9.2 was considered a criterion for biomass burning event in this study. Particulate matter from the open field burning of agricultural waste has an adverse impact on visibility, human health, and regional air quality.  相似文献

2016年12月19日至2017年1月9日,受静稳天气影响,济南接连出现了10次大雾等级以上天气过程,期间最低能见度不足50 m,持续的大雾天气严重影响了工农业生产和人民生活。本文利用10次冬季雾期间雾滴谱仪、自动站等观测资料,分析了济南不同强度冬季雾的微物理结构特征,分析了其中的微物理过程及强度,探讨了微物理结构、微物理过程对能见度（ V ）的影响。结果表明:（1）济南冬季雾强度不同,其谱分布具有明显的差异,在雾变浓的过程中,谱型由“单峰”结构逐渐向“多峰”结构发展。（2）数浓度对能见度具有较好的指示意义,液态含水量、离散度等对能见度指示意义不稳定。（3）环境温度与核化、凝结和碰并增长（或蒸发）等微物理过程密切相关;核化、凝结增长是济南冬季雾发展过程中最主要的微物理过程,在整个雾过程中起主导作用。（4）碰并过程主要发生在发展和成熟阶段,在生成和减弱阶段很弱,以未碰并或偶发碰并为主。（5）自转化率计算结果表明,在V≥200 m的雾中,碰并过程很少发生;在100 m≤V<200 m的强浓雾中,以未碰并或间断碰并为主;碰并过程主要出现在V<100 m等级的强浓雾和特强浓雾中;与V<50 m的特强浓雾相比,50 m≤V<100 m的强浓雾中碰并过程发生的概率更大、强度更强。（6）在济南冬季特强浓雾中含有大量的小雾滴,但各微物理量的最大值、最大的起伏变化并未出现在特强浓雾中,而是出现在50 m≤V<100 m强浓雾中,这可能与强浓雾中较强的碰并过程有关,碰撞过程中产生的并合和破碎可能是微物理量起伏变化最大的主要原因。（7）利用雾滴谱资料计算的能见度与实测值在变化趋势上具有较好的一致性,但比实测值大1～2个数量级,这可能主要与雾中大量的气溶胶粒子有关,对于污染大气,基于雾滴谱仪观测资料来估算雾中的大气能见度是不够的,必须同时考虑气溶胶粒子对能见度的影响。  相似文献

基于华北雾-霾综合观测试验资料,分析了2011年12月4日河北涿州一次浓雾过程爆发性增强的微物理特征及形成机理。结果表明:此次浓雾过程除具有均压场、地面辐射降温、逆温层、静稳天气等特征外,还具有雾微物理过程出现爆发性增强的特征,10 min内,小雾滴浓度显著增加,含水量增大了3个量级,雾滴谱由15 μm拓宽到35 μm,能见度由500 m骤降至70 m。夜间地面长波辐射冷却效应导致近地层雾的形成,而近地层雾的形成反过来快速地增强了地面长波辐射冷却效应,促使大量小雾滴的形成和碰并过程的产生,这是一种正反馈效应;大量雾滴形成释放的潜热,促使雾体抬升和向下长波辐射增强,又使地面长波辐射冷却效应减弱,产生负反馈效应。相对于南京辐射雾过程,此次涿州浓雾的小雾滴粒子数浓度高,液态水含量明显偏小,这与华北高浓度气溶胶和弱水汽输送有关。  相似文献

A modified ceilometer has been used during the second Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the “Expérience sur Site pour COntraindre les Modèles de Pollution atmosphériques et de Transport d'Émission” (ESCOMPTE) to perform continuous remote observations of aerosol accumulations in the first 3 km of the atmosphere. These observations encompassed an episode of intense particulate and photochemical pollution. The submicronic particles density, measured at an altitude of 600 m, went from a very low point of a few tens of particles per cubic centimeter (at the end of a Mistral episode in the free atmosphere) to a high point of more than 4500 particles per cubic centimeter (when pollutants were trapped by thermal inversions).The main result is that this instrument enables a fine documentation of the mixing layer height and of aerosol particles stratifications and circulation. Airborne aerosol measurements have been made above the mountainous region of Mérindol in order to validate in situ the remote sensing measurements. Ozone measurements near the summit of the mountains as well as in the valley were performed in order to correlate aerosol accumulation and ozone concentration. As a notable example, the two-layer aerosol stratification seen in the first 2 days of IOP 2b in that part of the ESCOMPTE domain confirms the results of another team which used backtrajectories. The low-altitude pollution for this timeframe had a local origin (the Fos industrial area), whereas above 500 m, the air masses had undergone regional-scale transport (from north-eastern Spain).The second major result is the highlighting of a pattern, in sea breeze conditions and in this part of the ESCOMPTE experiment zone, of nocturnal aerosol accumulation at an altitude of between 500 and 2000 m, followed by high ozone concentration the next day.  相似文献

A high-volume cascade impactor, equipped with a PM10 inlet, was used to collect size-segregated aerosol samples during the summer of 2004 at two Portuguese locations: a coastal-rural area (Moitinhos) and an urban area (Oporto). Concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM), total carbon (TC), organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) were determined for the following particle size ranges: < 0.49, 0.49–0.95, 0.95–3.0, and 3.0–10 µm. The total PM mass concentrations at the urban and coastal-rural sites ranged from 22.8 to 79.6 μg m− 3 and 19.9 to 28.2 μg m− 3, respectively, and more than 56% of the total aerosol mass was found in the fractions below 3.0 μm. At both locations the highest concentrations of OC and EC were found in the submicrometer size range. The regional variability for the OC and EC concentrations, with the highest concentrations being found in the urban area, was related to the contribution of local primary sources (mostly traffic emissions). It was also verified an enrichment of the small size particles in WSOC, representing on average 37.3(± 12.4)% and 59.7(± 18.0)% of OC in the very fine aerosol at the coastal-rural and urban areas, respectively. The amount of secondary OC calculated by the minimum OC/EC ratio method indicates that secondary organic aerosol formation was important throughout the study at both sites. The obtained results suggest that long-range transport and favourable summer conditions for photochemical oxidation are key factors determining secondary OC formation in the coastal-rural and urban areas. The ultraviolet absorption properties of the chromophoric constituents of the WSOC fractions were also different among the different particle size ranges and also between the two sampling locations, thus suggesting the strong impact of the diverse emission sources into the composition of the size-segregated organic aerosol.  相似文献

A suite of active and passive remote sensing instruments and in-situ sensors deployed at the SIRTA Observatory (Instrumented Site for Atmospheric Remote Sensing Research), near Paris, France, for a period of six months (October 2006–March 2007) document simultaneously radiative, microphysical and dynamic processes driving the continental-fog life cycle. The study focuses on a 6-day period between 23 and 29 December 2006 characterized by several stratus-cloud lowering and lifting events and almost 18 h of visibility below 1 km. Conceptual models and different possible scenarios are presented here to explain the formation, the development and the dissipation phases of three major stratus–fog events and to quantify the impact of each driving process. For example, slowly evolving large-scale conditions characterized by a slow continuous cloud-base lowering, followed by a rapid transient period conductive to fog formation and dissipation, are observed for cases 1 and 3. During this stable period, continuous cloud-top radiative cooling (≈ −160 Wm−2) induces a progressive and slow lowering of the cloud base: larger droplets at cloud top (cloud reflectivity approximately equals to −20 dBZ) induce slow droplet fall to and beyond cloud base (Doppler velocity ≈ −0.1 ms−1), cooling the sub-cloud layer by evaporation and lowering the saturation level to 100 m (case 1) or to the surface (cases 2 and 3). Suddenly, a significant increase in Doppler velocity magnitude ≈ −0.6 ms−1 and of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate around 10−3 m2s−3 occurs at cloud base (case 1). These larger cloud droplets reach the surface leading to fog formation over 1.5 h. The Doppler velocity continues to increase over the entire cloud depth with a maximum value of around −1 ms−1 due to the collection of fog droplets by the drizzle drops with high collection efficiency. As particles become larger, they fall to the ground and lead to fog dissipation. Hence, falling particles play a major role in both the formation and also in the dissipation of the fog. These roles co-exist and the balance is driven by the characteristics of the falling particles, such as the concentration of drizzle drops, the size distribution of drizzle drops compared to fog droplets, Doppler velocity and thermodynamic state close to the surface.  相似文献

The study of fog dynamics in the island of Tenerife began in 1993 at six sites. The analysis of the relationship between fog and several meteorological parameters was conducted at the site located at Anaga. Anaga is located at the summit of a mountain range, at an altitude of 842 m and 3.5 km away from the north-western coastline of the island. The study uses hourly data of the three summer months (June, July and August) that were collected over a period of nine years — from 1996 to 2005. The mean summer (June–August) rainfall was found to be 21.2 mm whilst the total volume of fog water collected was 879.9 l m− 2; the daily average fog water collection was 9.5 l m− 2 day− 1, and the hourly average about 0.4 l m− 2 h− 1. Although these amounts were recorded with wind speeds of between 8 and 12 m s− 1, the correlation between water collected and wind speed is not statistically significant. In spite of this, the volume of fog water collected and wind speed showed a very distinct daily behavioural pattern, their frequency and speed reaching their minimum at 12 a.m. and their maximum from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. GMT. The importance of this research is that it shows that the fog in the Canary Islands occurs more frequently and makes a more significant contribution to the growth of vegetation in the summer (the dry season) than in the winter, when fog accompanies rainfall.  相似文献

Stratospheric aerosol, noted after large volcanic eruptions since at least the late 1800s, were first measured in the late 1950s, with the modern continuous record beginning in the 1970s. Stratospheric aerosol, both volcanic and non-volcanic are sulfuric acid droplets with radii (concentrations) on the order of 0.1–0.5 µm (0.5–0.005 cm− 3), increasing by factors of 2–4 (10–103) after large volcanic eruptions. The source of the sulfur for the aerosol is either through direct injection from sulfur-rich volcanic eruptions, or from tropical injection of tropospheric air containing OCS, SO2, and sulfate particles. The life cycle of non-volcanic stratospheric aerosol, consisting of photo-dissociation and oxidation of sulfur source gases, nucleation/condensation in the tropics, transport pole-ward and downward in the global planetary wave driven tropical pump, leads to a quasi steady state relative maximum in particle number concentration at around 20 km in the mid latitudes. Stratospheric aerosol have significant impacts on the Earth's radiation balance for several years following volcanic eruptions. Away from large eruptions, the direct radiation impact is small and well characterized; however, these particles also may play a role in the nucleation of near tropopause cirrus, and thus indirectly affect radiation. Stratospheric aerosol play a larger role in the chemical, particularly ozone, balance of the stratosphere. In the mid latitudes they interact with both nitrous oxides and chlorine reservoirs, thus indirectly affecting ozone. In the polar regions they provide condensation sites for polar stratospheric clouds which then provide the surfaces necessary to convert inactive to active chlorine leading to polar ozone loss. Until the mid 1990s the modern record has been dominated by three large sulfur-rich eruptions: Fuego (1974), El Chichón (1982) and Pinatubo (1991), thus definitive conclusions concerning the trend of non-volcanic stratospheric aerosol could only recently be made. Although anthropogenic emissions of SO2 have changed somewhat over the past 30 years, the measurements during volcanically quiescent periods indicate no long term trend in non-volcanic stratospheric aerosol.  相似文献

Electrical charges on aerosol particles and droplets modify the droplet–particle collision efficiencies involved in scavenging, and the droplet–droplet and particle–particle collision efficiencies involved in coalescence of droplets and particles, even in only weakly electrified clouds and aerosol layers. This work places electrically enhanced scavenging, and the electrical inhibition of scavenging in the context of the microphysics of weakly electrified clouds.Collision efficiencies are calculated by numerical integration to obtain particle trajectories, that are determined by the complex interplay of electrical, gravitational and phoretic forces together with inertia. These modify the trajectory of a particle as it is carried by flow around the falling droplet. Conversely, the flow around the particle also modifies the trajectory of the droplet. The flows are specified analytically, using a hybrid of the Proudman–Pearson stream function for that region close to the droplet or particle, where it is accurate, merging into the exact Oseen stream function for larger distances, where that becomes accurate. The effect of the flow around the particle on the motion of the droplet was simulated using Langmuir's superposition technique on the hybrid stream functions. The treatment of inertia in the present calculations allows an extension of the scope of our previous work by a factor of 10 larger in particle size (103 in mass). The coverage is extended to a wide range of atmospheric conditions and particle densities.The pressures and temperatures used in the models ranged from a representation of the lower troposphere at  1 km altitude (900 hPa, 10 °C) to that of the middle stratosphere at  30 km altitude (12 hPa, − 47 °C). The particles considered range from 0.1 μm to 10 μm radius; the droplet radii range from 4 μm to 50 μm; particle densities range from 300 kg m− 3 to 2500 kg m− 3; particle charges range from 2e to 100e with droplet charges of like sign of 100e; and relative humidities range from 10% to 100%.For the larger particles (radii greater than about 3 μm) interacting with the larger droplets (radii greater than about 15 μm) the effects of inertia increase with particle density and dominate at the larger densities. For particles with radii in the range 1–3 μm the ‘Greenfield Gap’ of very low collision efficiencies was found, and was determined to be due to the effects of the gravitational force causing a reduction of collisions of particles with the front of the droplet, and the effect of inertia overcoming the tendency for the weight to produce a collision in the slow velocity region in the rear. When the electrical or phoretic forces are sufficiently large the Greenfield Gap is closed.When the particles have radii < 3 μm inertial effects no longer dominate the collisions, although inertia modifies the weight effects for particles with radii down to about 0.5 μm. For charged aerosol particles with radii smaller than about 0.1 μm interacting with droplets or background aerosol particles smaller than a radius of about 15 μm, the long range electrical repulsive force is effective in opposing the phoretic forces and keeping the particle out of range of the short range attractive image force. Thus ‘electroscavenging’ gives way to ‘electroprotection’ against the scavenging or coagulation processes otherwise caused by Browninan diffusion or phoretic forces.In an atmosphere of temperature 10 °C and pressure 900 hPa the net phoretic force reduces to zero and becomes repulsive for particles with radii above about 2 μm (depending on particle conductivity). This enhances the development of the Greenfield Gap. However, the value of this radius (at which the net phoretic force is zero) increases strongly with decreasing temperature and pressure (increasing altitude) as expected from theory, and is about 5 μm in the middle troposphere and more than 10 μm in the stratosphere. Thus a net attractive phoretic force on particles extends into the 1–3 μm radius range in the upper troposphere; however, the weight and inertial effects can ensure the presence of the Greenfield Gap in that range for 2000 kg m− 3 particles up to the middle stratosphere.  相似文献

南岭大瑶山高速公路浓雾的宏微观结构与能见度研究   总被引：20，自引：2，他引：20  
南岭山地地处南亚热带湿润型季风气候区,每年9月至次年5月有华南准静止锋活动时均会有浓雾发生,每月浓雾日可高达15—18 d,尤其是中国目前最长的京珠高速公路通过南岭主脉大瑶山的乐昌—乳源段,路面海拔高度从200 m增至800多米,山地的抬升使雾害更加严重。在南岭大瑶山高速公路开展的两次多学科综合野外观测,内容包括目测能见度、器测能见度、雾滴谱、雾含水量、系留探空、双参数低空探空、雾层湍流扩散、气溶胶粒子谱、气溶胶成分谱、雾水样品成分、雨水样品成分。对典型个例进行了天气学分析,雾的宏观结构特征分析,雾的微物理特征分析。认识到南岭山地浓雾发生频率高,雾害十分严重,是典型的平流雾和上坡雾,实质上是出现在相对较高海拔高度上的低云,与华南锋面活动尤其是华南准静止峰的活动密切相关,局地地形的作用也非常重要。其特点是浓雾持续时间长、能见度极其恶劣、团块结构明显、雾滴尺度大、浓度不高、含水量较大、雾层内的湍流扩散能力比晴空区强,与中国过去研究较多的辐射雾差别较大。发现雾含水量与能见度呈明显的反相关关系,含水量较大时能见度较小;南岭山地雾含水量等微结构特征量的起伏变化,除与雾体本身的结构不均匀有关外,一个重要的原因是平流因素的影响,南岭山地下垫面的不均匀性,雾体随环境风的平移过程中,不规则的爬坡、翻越山坡的运动是造成雾体结构不均匀、振荡起伏变化的另一个重要原因。该地气溶胶粒子谱是呈单调下降的幂函数谱,次微米粒子浓度甚高,南岭山地气溶胶中含有高浓度的硫酸盐粒子,是优质凝结核,有利于雾的形成。雾的存在可以清除大气中的微量成分,雾滴可以包含浓度很高的污染物成分。同时,较之云滴而言,雾滴也很容易被地表物体(如植被、建筑物等)的垂直表面所截获,构成另一类清除过程。在南岭这样的大面积森林地区,这类清除过程可能是很重要的。研究本地区雾的特征变化,对建立本地区雾的预警预报系统有很大的现实意义,并为开展消雾试验提供了基本资料。  相似文献

Sulfate-coated dust particles in the free troposphere over Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Airborne aerosol collections were performed over Wakasa bay (36°00′N, 135°30′E) in March and Kumano open sea (34°00′N, 136°50′E) and Seto (35°10′N, 137°10′E) in July 2001 at altitudes between 1.0 and 5.8 km. The particles were individually analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Relatively large mineral-dust (mostly clay) particles were abundant in the March samples. They also dominated in July in the mid-troposphere higher than 4 km altitude, whereas sea salt and ammonium sulfate were more abundant at lower altitudes. Ca-coated grid samples show many traces of aqueous sulfate droplets. The proportions of former sulfate droplets to the total collected particles apparently increased with increasing relative humidity at the time of sampling. TEM analysis revealed that a significant fraction of these former droplets enclose mineral-dust particles as well as sea salt, soot, and fly ash. Some enclose mixtures of mineral-dust, sea-salt, soot, and fly ash particles. The results provide evidence that mineral dust from the Asian continent could acquire coatings of sulfate while being transported in the free troposphere. The mineral-dust particles probably acquired the sulfate coatings either through heterogeneous uptake of gaseous SO2 and subsequent oxidation or through coagulation with cloud or fog droplets. The presence of the mixed particles in sulfate droplets also indicates that aggregation of particles of different origins occurred through cloud processing. Such sulfate-coated dust particles would affect cloud formation, precipitation, and chemistry of the free troposphere.  相似文献

利用2015—2017年秋冬季在江苏北部观测到12次雾过程的雾滴谱数据及常规气象观测资料,统计分析了轻雾、大雾、浓雾、强浓雾和特强浓雾等级下的微物理特征量及雾滴谱分布,并通过一次雾过程的分析,探讨了不同雾等级下的主要微物理过程。结果表明:随着雾等级的提升,雾滴数浓度、含水量增长明显,而轻雾、大雾和浓雾的雾滴平均直径和最大直径差异不大,但当能见度小于200 m时,平均直径和最大直径显著增大;能见度下降时,平均数浓度谱和含水量谱的谱线上抬,从浓雾到强浓雾,粒径大于10 μm的大雾滴增长明显;雾滴数浓度主要由小雾滴控制,雾滴含水量受大雾滴影响;东海县郊平均的雾滴含水量与南京观测结果相差不大,但雾滴数浓度仅为南京的一半左右,平均直径大约是南京的2.3倍;个例分析中,能见度从1000 m下降到50 m,凝结核活化并凝结增长是主要微物理过程,但可凝结水汽是影响该过程效果的一个重要因子,可使雾滴数浓度和平均直径呈现不同的相关关系;能见度降到50 m以下时,碰并过程效果显著;日出后雾滴蒸发作用显现并逐步增强。   相似文献

A Novel Four-Wavelength Transmissometer for Distinguishing Haze and Fog   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  
Haze and fog exhibit different microphysical and optical properties according to Mie scattering theory. Haze particles are smaller than fog droplets. Light of a shorter wavelength is reduced more than that of a longer wavelength during haze events. In fog, the differences between the extinction coefficients at different wavelengths are not as apparent. On the basis of the different light extinction characteristics of haze and fog, a novel four-wavelength transmissometer based on charge-coupled device （CCD） imaging was designed to distinguish haze from fog with central wavelengths at 415, 516, 650, and 850 nm. The four-wavelength transmissometer was tested in an insitu experiment during the winter of 2009. Fog was determined when the differences of the extinction coefficients at the four wavelengths were not notable, whereas haze was determined when the light at shorter wavelengths was significantly more reduced than that at longer wavelengths. A threshold which describes the relative size of the extinction coefficients at the four wavelengths was defined to distinguish between fog and haze. The four-wavelength transmissometer provided results consistent with the commercial fog monitor during several measurements made in fog and haze events, especially under conditions of low visibility and high relative humidity.  相似文献

Belonging to the southern subtropical moist type of monsoon climate,the Nanling mountainous area experiences heavy fogs whenever quasi-stationary fronts appear there from September to May.There can be as many as 15-18 days of heavy fogs per month.Fogs have more serious consequences in the Lechang-Ruyuan section of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway(the longest expressway in China)that passes through the main part of the Nanling Mts.,where the road rises from 200m to more than 800m above sea level(ASL).For a major motorway in the mountainous areas of Nanling Mts.,two multidisciplinary integrated field observations were carried out,which measured visibility by the naked eyes,visibility by instrument,spectrum of fog- drops,liquid water content(LWC)of fog,tethered sounding,dual-parameter low-level sounding,turbulence diffusion within fog layers,aerosol spectra of size and composition,sampled fog water compositions,and sampled rainwater compositions.Typical cases were probed for their analyses of synoptics,micro- and macro-structures and microphysics.It is understood that heavy fogs take place with high frequency in the area and bring about serious consequences.Being typical advection and upslope fogs,they are in essence low-lying clouds appearing at high altitudes,which are closely related with the activity of South China frontal processes,especially the South China quasi-stationary fronts,and reflect on the role of local terrain as well.The heavy fogs are characteristic of long duration,extremely low visibility,well-organized lump- shaped structure,large-size fog-drops,moderate concentration,high LWC,and stronger turbulent diffusion within the fog layers than in fine sky.They differ much from radiation fogs,which are better documented in previous study in China.It is found that fog LWC is in significant anti-correlation with visibility so that large LWC is associated with small visual range.It is also noted that one of the reasons for the fluctuation of characteristic quantities of micro-structure such as the LWC of fog in the area is,in addition to the inhomogeneous structure of the fog itself,the effect of advection and inhomogeneous underlying surface; during the translation of fog with the ambient wind,irregular upslope and cross-over movement is another reason for the inhomogeneous structure and fluctuation of fog.The spectrum of the aerosol size displays itself as the power function of monotonous descent.The concentration of submicrometer particles is even higher.The high-concentration sulfate particles found in the aerosols of Nanling Mts.are actually good nuclei for condensation,which are favorable for the formation of fog.The presence of fog can help cleanse the trace compositions in the atmosphere so that fog droplets contain high levels of polluting elements.In the meantime,compared to cloud droplets,fog droplets are easier to be captured by the vertical surfaces of objects on the land surface,such as vegetation and buildings to constitute another kird of cleansing process. In vast stretches of forest like the Nanling Mts.,this kind of cleansing may be quite important.Studying the characteristic variation of fogs in the area realistically assists in setting up a forecast and warning system for local fogs and provides basic information for fog dispersal experiments.  相似文献

2013年12月7—9日南京出现持续性强浓雾天气过程。利用观测试验中获取的三级分档雾水和分粒径气溶胶的水溶性离子浓度,气溶胶数浓度谱、雾滴谱以及自动气象站获取的气象要素等资料,通过对比研究浓雾过程中4—16 μm（3级）、16—22 μm（2级）、>22 μm（1级）3个粒径范围雾滴（雾水）与分粒径气溶胶的微物理特征和化学特性,探讨不同粒径气溶胶粒子吸湿增长对雾滴的贡献以及气溶胶离子组分对不同尺度雾滴化学性质的影响。结果表明,在强浓雾天气中,能见度为50 m左右,短波辐射减弱形成稳定逆温层,有助于污染气溶胶的累积并吸湿增长向雾滴转化。雾滴的增加主要集中在小滴范围, 直径在0.5—1 μm的气溶胶粒子对其贡献最大。各粒径段气溶胶中阴离子NO3-和SO42-均表现出较高值,阳离子中Ca2+浓度最高。三档雾水中各阴、阳离子浓度均在4—16 μm小滴雾水中最高,16—22 μm中滴雾水和>22 μm大滴雾水的阴、阳离子浓度没有明显的高低之分。阳离子中Ca2+的浓度在第1级小滴雾水中最高,2级和3级雾水中NH4+的浓度最高,阴离子中NO3-和SO42-在各级雾水中浓度相差不大。雾水pH值2.7—6.9,呈酸性,小雾滴酸性更强。   相似文献

Belonging to the southern subtropical moist type of monsoon climate, the Nanling mountainous area experiences heavy fogs whenever quasi-stationary fronts appear there from September to May. There can be as many as 15-18 days of heavy fogs per month. Fogs have more serious consequences in the Lechang-Ruyuan section of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway (the longest expressway in China) that passes through the main part of the Nanling Mts., where the road rises from 200 m to more than 800 m above sea level (ASL).For a major motorway in the mountainous areas of Nanling Mts., two multidisciplinary integrated field observations were carried out, which measured visibility by the naked eyes, visibility by instrument, spectrum of fogdrops, liquid water content (LWC) of fog, tethered sounding, dual-parameter low-level sounding, turbulence diffusion within fog layers, aerosol spectra of size and composition, sampled fog water compositions, and sampled rainwater compositions. Typical cases were probed for their analyses of synoptics, micro- and macro-structures and microphysics. It is understood that heavy fogs take place with high frequency in the area and bring about serious consequences. Being typical advection and upslope fogs, they are in essence low-lying clouds appearing at high altitudes,which are closely related with the activity of South China frontal processes, especially the South China quasi-stationary fronts, and reflect on the role of local terrain as well. The heavy fogs are characteristic of long duration, extremely low visibility, well-organized lump-shaped structure, large-size fog-drops, moderate concentration, high LWC, and stronger turbulent diffusion within the fog layers than in ne sky. They di er much from radiation fogs, which are better documented in previous study in China. It is found that fog LWC is in significant anti-correlation with visibility so that large LWC is associated with small visual range. It is also noted that one of the reasons for the fluctuation of characteristic quantities of micro-structure such as the LWC of fog in the area is, in addition to the inhomogeneous structure of the fog itself, the effect of advection and inhomogeneous underlying surface;during the translation of fog with the ambient wind, irregular upslope and cross-over movement is another reason for the inhomogeneous structure and fluctuation of fog. The spectrum of the aerosol size displays itself as the power function of monotonous descent. The concentration of submicrometer particles is even higher. The high-concentration sulfate particles found in the aerosols of Nanling Mts. are actually good nuclei for condensation, which are favorable for the formation of fog. The presence of fog can help cleanse the trace compositions in the atmosphere so that fog droplets contain high levels of polluting elements. In the meantime, compared to cloud droplets, fog droplets are easier to be captured by the vertical surfaces of objects on the land surface, such as vegetation and buildings to constitute another kind of cleansing process.In vast stretches of forest like the Nanling Mts., this kind of cleansing may be quite important. Studying the characteristic variation of fogs in the area realistically assists in setting up a forecast and warning system for local fogs and provides basic information for fog dispersal experiments.  相似文献
