基于相对湿度、能见度等气象数据,分析气溶胶吸湿增长特性,有助于了解气溶胶对大气环境和区域气候的影响。利用南京地区2016年1—12月、2017年2—12月、2018年1—8月和12月相对湿度和能见度等数据,通过非线性拟合研究气溶胶吸湿增长因子(f(RH))与相对湿度(RH)之间的关系。结果表明,吸湿增长因子在RH值较低(<80%)时,增长率较小;当RH值较高(>80%)时,增长率迅速增大。吸湿增长因子随着月RH值变化而表现出较大差异。此外,当南京地区盛行西风时,高能见度出现的时次较多。f(RH)与PM2.5/PM10成正比,PM2.5/PM10值越高,对应的气溶胶光学吸湿增长因子往往会越高。 相似文献

黄山地区春夏季气溶胶离子组分及其对云微物理特征的影响 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
利用2009年5-8月在华东地区高山——黄山顶取得的气溶胶和云微物理参数观测资料以及同期气溶胶离子成分数据,结合多种化学组分气溶胶绝热气块分档云模式,研究了黄山地区多化学组分气溶胶对云凝结核和云微物理特征的影响.气团轨迹和气溶胶离子成分的分析结果表明,3种气团影响着黄山地区气溶胶的化学组分,即北方大陆气团气溶胶富含CaCO3,局地污染气团气溶胶以可水溶性无机盐((NH4)2SO4、NH4 NO3)为主,而变性混合海洋性气团气溶胶中NaCl较多.数值模拟结果显示,在气溶胶谱一定时,不同天气形势下黄山气溶胶的化学组分的差异会对云微物理特征产生不同的影响.同一上升速度下实际多组分气溶胶模拟的云滴数浓度大于纯硫酸铵,主要体现在云滴谱第1个峰值3.3 μm之前;气块上升速度低于0.7 m/s时,含有较多不可水溶物质的混合气溶胶对云滴数浓度的影响较大;上升速度大于0.7 m/s时,气块中可凝结水增多,海盐对云滴数浓度增加的效果更显著.多组分气溶胶模拟云滴谱较纯硫酸铵窄,其中,北方气团方案造成云滴谱变窄的程度高于混合气团方案;而模拟的云滴数目增多,造成云滴有效半径减小,云光学厚度和反照率增加,将会对暖云降水及辐射效应产生不同的影响. 相似文献

气溶胶粒子的吸湿增长对区域环境、气象与辐射收支都有巨大影响,精确的气溶胶吸湿特性观测对描述气溶胶吸湿增长特性,以及研究气溶胶对气候环境影响,拓展卫星气溶胶产品的应用有非常重要的意义。本研究提出一种基于常规气象观测（能见度、相对湿度）和空气质量观测（PM2.5浓度,即空气动力学当量直径小于等于2.5 μm的颗粒物浓度）相结合的气溶胶吸湿增长估算方法,在此基础上对浙江地区气溶胶吸湿特性的时空变化影响因素进行了探讨。研究发现,沿海的温州瓯海站的吸湿增长能力最高,长三角典型城市环境的杭州和睦小学站的吸湿增长能力次之,而地处较为洁净内陆的衢州实验学校站的吸湿增长能力最低。在时间变化中,同一站点不同湿度条件的吸湿增长变化趋势相同,温州瓯海站的吸湿性变化最为剧烈,杭州和睦小学站的吸湿性变化次之,衢州实验学校站变化较为平缓。本研究表明,浙江地区的气溶胶吸湿增长特性存在较大的时空差异,基于本方法能够在较大的时空范围内描述气溶胶的吸湿增长特性,为有限的精密观测提供重要补充。 相似文献

利用微脉冲激光雷达观测数据、PM_(2.5)浓度数据、地面气象观测资料和探空数据对成都2017年1月1—6日连续出现的重污染过程进行分析研究。结果表明:激光雷达反演的消光系数演变与PM_(2.5)浓度值变化对应一致,PM_(2.5)浓度升高,近地面消光系数增大;反之,则近地面消光系数减小。对于此次过程,在无冷空气影响时,混合层高度和相对湿度的日变化对消光系数廓线有明显影响,混合层高度降低,大气环境容量减小,相对湿度增加,气溶胶吸湿增长,消光系数增大,地面污染加重。天空状况对气溶胶垂直分布影响显著,晴天或多云天气,早晨强逆温使得水汽和大量气溶胶集中在逆温层顶以下区域,地面污染严重;中午混合层发展,使得混合层内的气溶胶均匀混合,气溶胶层变厚,近地面消光系数显著减小,地面污染减轻。在前一日为晴天或多云天气,当天为阴天时,早上气溶胶明显分为两层,一层在近地面,另一层在残留层顶附近;中午由于垂直湍流增强,一部分残留层气溶胶向下混合至混合层内,使得混合层内的气溶胶粒子增多,地面污染加重,消光系数明显增加。近地面强逆温层、混合层高度降低、残留层气溶胶向下混合、相对湿度增加均是导致地面污染加重的原因。 相似文献

京津冀一次重度雾霾天气能见度及边界层关键气象要素的模拟研究 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
本文利用GRAPES_CUACE大气化学模式对京津冀地区2015年12月重度雾霾过程进行了模拟和评估。京津冀地区能见度和PM2.5模拟值与观测值的对比表明:该模式能较好地模拟京津冀地区能见度和PM2.5的逐日变化情况,但模式存在对伴随着重污染发生的低能见度模拟偏高的问题。以12月5~10日的重度雾霾过程为重点,针对地面风速、边界层高度、相对湿度、PM2.5及其对能见度的影响进行了详细分析,研究结果表明:污染过程中大部分地区过程平均风速低于2 m s-1,边界层平均高度低于600 m,相对湿度较高。模式低能见度模拟偏高可能因为:（1）模式模拟重雾霾时段的PM2.5极大值浓度偏低。（2）模拟相对湿度存在系统性偏低的误差,这一误差对能见度的影响表现为两方面,一是相对湿度会通过影响可溶性气溶胶的吸湿增长过程影响气溶胶质量浓度,导致气溶胶消光系数的计算偏低;二是目前模式中采用的能见度的参数化公式考虑了相对湿度对气溶胶吸湿增长的影响,没有考虑雾滴的直接消光作用。 相似文献

为了对黄山地区云凝结核（Cloud Condensation Nuclei,CCN）进行闭合研究,2014年6月30日至7月28日在黄山光明顶对大气气溶胶理化性质和CCN数浓度进行观测,分析了气溶胶化学组分、谱分布以及CCN数浓度随时间变化的特征,通过κ-Köhler理论并使用离子配对法计算得到CCN数浓度与观测得到的CCN数浓度进行对比。结果表明：计算与观测的CCN闭合结果较好,低过饱和度CCN闭合结果好于高过饱和度,过饱和度较低时低估了CCN数浓度,而过饱和度较高时则高估了CCN数浓度,由此说明气溶胶的化学组分数据对预测CCN数浓度至关重要,同时说明该方法可以实现CCN的闭合。考虑到40%水溶性有机碳（Water Soluble Organic Carbon,WSOC）对气溶胶粒子吸湿性影响,在较低过饱和度CCN闭合结果较好,但影响效果并不显著,尤其是在拟合结果相对较差的高过饱和度下基本没有影响。因此,气溶胶粒子中水溶性无机组分对CCN活化有重要影响,而含量较多、化学组分复杂并且吸湿性不确定的WSOC对CCN活化影响较为有限,这与一些研究得出无机组分对于气溶胶吸湿性的影响比具有复杂特征的有机组分更重要的结论相符合。 相似文献

对流云对大气气溶胶和相对湿度变化响应的数值模拟 总被引：6，自引：3，他引：3
利用二维面对称分档云模式研究了气溶胶颗粒物浓度和尺度谱分布对混合相对流云微物理过程和降水的影响, 并重点讨论了气溶胶效应随环境相对湿度的变化。结果表明, 在初始热力和动力条件相同的情况下, 相对清洁的海洋性云在发展和成熟阶段能更有效地产生雨滴、 冰晶和霰粒, 形成更强的雷达反射率。随着气溶胶浓度增加, 比如在本文模拟的污染大陆性云中, 气溶胶粒子数浓度的增加限制云滴增长, 不利于降水粒子的形成。模拟结果也发现, 环境相对湿度对气溶胶效应有显著影响, 即当地面相对湿度从50%增大到70%时, 所模拟的云从浅对流泡发展为深对流云; 气溶胶对云微物理特性和降水的影响在干空气中较小, 但在湿空气中表现非常显著, 这与前人结果一致。随着相对湿度的增加, 冰相粒子出现的时间提前, 增长加快, 云砧范围扩大, 但相对来说, 降水起始时间对相对湿度的变化比气溶胶更敏感。 相似文献

通过研究广州番禺大气成分站的气溶胶颗粒物质量浓度(PM10和PM2.5)、黑碳浓度、臭氧浓度等大气成分要素,常规地面气象要素以及气流后向轨迹、垂直速度、位温和边界层高度等资料,结合热带气旋路径和天气形势对热带气旋外围下沉气流造成的一次珠三角地区连续灰霾天气过程的形成原因和变化特征进行了分析.由于热带气旋移动缓慢,其外围下沉气流使珠三角地区形成了层结稳定、静小风和晴朗少云的天气条件,导致珠三角地区出现连续的灰霾天气.在这次灰霾过程中,气溶胶粒子来源以本地源为主,并且以细粒子为主,PM2.5占PM10的比例接近70％,黑碳浓度占PM10的6.0％左右;在凌晨,由于边界层高度降至最低,垂直扩散条件差,同时相对湿度也达到峰值,气溶胶吸湿增长明显,易出现能见度低值. 相似文献

利用石家庄地区2005年6月21日的一次晴空飞机探测资料,分析了气溶胶粒子的垂直分布特征及粒子谱分布特征,并初步讨论了气象因子对气溶胶分布的影响。结果表明,边界层内气溶胶平均数浓度达到4902cm-3,主要是由霾造成的。高空风场对气溶胶浓度的分布有着重要影响,风速较大的情况下,气溶胶在该层的水平输送较为活跃,出现气溶胶浓度低值带;城市的地理位置以及城市热岛效应也影响气溶胶粒子的分布,同一高度上往往市区内气溶胶的浓度比郊区要高。气溶胶粒子谱呈单峰分布,高度越高,粒子数浓度变化越小;低层尺度谱最宽,中高层较窄。利用幂函数N(D)=AD-B可以很好的对不同高度的气溶胶粒子谱进行拟合。 相似文献

A multifunctional HTDMA system with a robust temperature control 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
The hygroscopicity of atmospheric aerosols significantly influences their size distribution,
cloud condensation nuclei ability, atmospheric residence time, and climate forcing. In order to investigate
the hygroscopic behavior of aerosol particles and serious haze in China, a Hygroscopic Tandem Differential
Mobility Analyzers (HTDMA) system was designed and constructed at Fudan University. It can function as a
scanning mobility particle sizing system to measure particle size distribution in the range of 20--1000 nm
in diameter, as well as a hygroscopicity analyzer for aerosol particles with diameters between 20--400 nm
in the range of 20%--90% RH (relative humidity). It can also measure the effect of uptake of inorganic acids
or semi-VOCs on the hygroscopic behavior of aerosols, such as typical inorganic salts in atmospheric dust or
their mixtures. The performance tests show that the system measured particle size of the standard polystyrene
latex spheres (PSLs) is 197 nm, which is in excellent agreement with the certified diameter D=199±6 nm, as
well as a standard deviation of the repeated runs SD=8.9x10-4. In addition, the measured hygroscopic
growth factors of the model compounds, (NH4)2SO4 and NaNO3, agree with the Kohler theoretical
curves. The results indicate that the HTDMA system is an excellent and powerful tool for studying the
hygroscopic behavior of submicron aerosols and meets the demand required for laboratory research and
fieldwork on atmospheric aerosols in China. 相似文献

Light extinction by atmospheric particles is strongly dependent on their chemical composition and water content. Since light extinction directly impacts climate, optical measurements of atmospherically relevant aerosols at varying relative humidities (RH) are needed. Recent studies have highlighted the possibility that some atmospheric aerosols are glassy under ambient conditions. Here, the particle optical growth factor, fRHext, was measured for liquid and glassy particles using cavity ring-down aerosol extinction spectroscopy. The particles were composed of ammonium sulfate (AS), 1,2,6-hexanetriol, sucrose, raffinose, and mixed particles containing AS and either sucrose or raffinose. Both sucrose and raffinose can be glassy at room temperature. For the pure organics, the highly viscous sucrose and raffinose particles have similar optical growth curves to the liquid 1,2,6 hexanetriol particles. However, for particles composed of sucrose or raffinose mixed with AS, optical growth depends on the AS weight-percent, which in turn controls the phase state of the AS and ultimately the water uptake. 相似文献

Hygroscopicity measurements of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles often show inconsistent results between the supersaturated and subsaturated regimes, with higher activity as cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) than indicated by hygroscopic growth. In this study, we have investigated the discrepancy between the two regimes in the Lund University (LU) smog chamber. Various anthropogenic SOA were produced from mixtures of different precursors: anthropogenic light aromatic precursors (toluene and m-xylene), exhaust from a diesel passenger vehicle spiked with the light aromatic precursors, and exhaust from two different gasoline-powered passenger vehicles. Three types of seed particles were used: soot aggregates from a diesel vehicle, soot aggregates from a flame soot generator and ammonium sulphate (AS) particles. The hygroscopicity of seed particles with condensed, photochemically produced, anthropogenic SOA was investigated with respect to critical supersaturation (sc) and hygroscopic growth factor (gf) at 90% relative humidity. The hygroscopicity parameter κ was calculated for the two regimes: κsc and κgf, from measurements of sc and gf, respectively. The two κ showed significant discrepancies, with a κgf /κsc ratio closest to one for the gasoline experiments with ammonium sulphate seed and lower for the soot seed experiments. Empirical observations of sc and gf were compared to theoretical predictions, using modified Köhler theory where water solubility limitations were taken into account. The results indicate that the inconsistency between measurements in the subsaturated and supersaturated regimes may be explained by part of the organic material in the particles produced from anthropogenic precursors having a limited solubility in water. 相似文献

The hygroscopic properties of sub-micrometer aerosol particles were studied in connection with a ground-based cloud experiment at Great Dun Fell, in northern England in 1995. Hygroscopic diameter growth factors were measured with a Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (TDMA) for dry particle diameters between 35 and 265 nm at one of the sites upwind of the orographic cloud. An external mixture consisting of three groups of particles, each with different hygroscopic properties, was observed. These particle groups were denoted less-hygroscopic, more-hygroscopic and sea spray particles and had average diameter growth factors of 1.11–1.15, 1.38–1.69 and 2.08–2.21 respectively when taken from a dry state to a relative humidity of 90%. Average growth factors increased with dry particle size. A bimodal hygroscopic behaviour was observed for 74–87% of the cases depending on particle size. Parallel measurements of dry sub-micrometer particle number size distributions were performed with a Differential Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS). The inorganic ion aerosol composition was determined by means of ion chromatography analysis of samples collected with Berner-type low pressure cascade impactors at ambient conditions. The number of ions collected on each impactor stage was predicted from the size distribution and hygroscopic growth data by means of a model of hygroscopic behaviour assuming that only the inorganic substances interacted with the ambient water vapour. The predicted ion number concentration was compared with the actual number of all positive and negative ions collected on the various impactor stages. For the impactor stage which collected particles with aerodynamic diameters between 0.17–0.53 μm at ambient relative humidity, and for which all pertinent data was available for the hygroscopic closure study, the predicted ion concentrations agreed with the measured values within the combined measurement and model uncertainties for all cases but one. For this impactor sampling occasion, the predicted ion concentration was significantly higher than the measured. The air mass in which this sample was taken had undergone extensive photochemical activity which had probably produced hygroscopically active material other than inorganic ions, such as organic oxygenated substances. 相似文献

Organic compounds in the atmosphere can influence the activation, growth and lifetimes of haze, fog and cloud droplets by changing the condensation and evaporation rates of liquid water by these aqueous aerosol particles. Depending on the nature and properties of the organic compounds, the change can be to enhance or reduce these rates. In this paper we used a tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) to examine the effect of tetracosane, octanoic acid, and lauric acid on the hygroscopic properties of NaCl aerosol particles at relative humidities (RH) between 30 and 95%. These organic compounds have been identified in ambient aerosol particle samples. A slight lowering of the deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) and suppression of hygroscopic growth for the NaCl-organic compound mixtures were observed when compared to pure NaCl particles. The growth of pure NaCl particles was 2.25 in diameter at 85% RH while the growth of the mixed particles was 1.3 to 1.7 in particle diameter at 85% RH with organic mass fraction of 30–50%. This shows that these organic compounds have to be present in rather large mass fractions to effect the hygroscopic behavior to a similar degree observed for ambient aerosol during field measurements. Despite the mixing of the organic material with NaCl, hysteresis was observed for decreasing RH histories, suggesting the formation of metastable droplets. These laboratory results are strikingly similar to ambient field results. For example, if the total organic mass fraction of the particles is between 0.30 and 0.50, the particle growth at 85% RH is about a factor of 1.4 for the laboratory and field measurements. Such reduction in growth compared to the pure inorganic salt is in contradiction to speculations concerning significant effects by organic compounds on cloud condensation nuclei and thus formation on clouds. 相似文献

This study is devoted to the performance of the CLIMET CI-8060, a white-light optical particle counter (OPC). Designed for clean-room monitoring, the off-the-shelf performance of this instrument is rather poor for outdoor studies. Modifications of this instrument are described turning this low-cost instrument into an OPC with excellent performance. The modifications include a reduction of the flow rate to 1.4 l/min, an altered design of the inlet nozzle, a buffer chamber to assure continuous flow, and a 16-channel pulse height analyzer.The modified version has been checked thouroughly. The counting efficiency is very close to 100% for particle sizes between 0.295 and 0.801 μm. The loss of giant particles is also marginal, as comparative tests with a cascade impactor show. The sizing calibration has been redetermined experimentally, using latex spheres, and theoretically, applying a software package by Jüngert [1988] using the Mie theory. With the help of the established relationship between experimental and theoretical response for latex, calibration tables for any other particle material are obtained (in particular for ambient aerosols and H2O for fog and cloud condensation studies).The modified counter has been used for monitoring the growth of hygroscopic aerosols in humid conditions, using two different inlet lines, one of them drying the aerosol before entering the OPC, the other one preserving ambient conditions. This system allows to observe haze and fog formation and cloud condensation processes in situ at a one-minute time resolution. 相似文献

In this study bulk airborne aerosol composition measured by the PILS-IC (integration time of 3 min 24 s) during TRACE-P P3B Flight 10 are used to investigate the ionic chemical composition and mixing state of biomass burning particles. A biomass burning plume, roughly 3–4 days old, moderately influenced by urban pollution aerosols recorded in the Philippine Sea is investigated. Focusing on the fine particle NO3−, SO42−, K+, NH4+, and water-soluble organics, the observed correlations and nearly 1-to-1 molar ratios between K+ and NO3− and between NH4+ and (SO42−+ inferred Organics) suggest the presence of fine-mode KNO3, (NH4)2SO4, and NH4(Organics) aerosols. Under the assumption that these ion pairs existed, and because KNO3 is thermodynamically less favored than K2SO4 in a mixture of NO3−, SO42−, K+, NH4+, and Organic anions, the measurements suggest that aerosols could be composed of biomass burning particles (KNO3) mixed to a large degree externally with the (NH4)2SO4 aerosols. A “closed-mode” thermodynamic aerosol simulation predicts that a degree of external mixing (by SO42− mass) of 60 to 100% is necessary to achieve the observed ionic associations in terms of the existence of KNO3. However, the degree of external mixing is most likely larger than 90%, based on both the presence of KNO3 and the amounts of NH4NO3. Calculations are also shown that the aerosol mixing state significantly impacts particle growth by water condensation/evaporation. In the case of P3B Flight #10, the internal mixture is generally more hygroscopic than the external mixture. This method for estimating particle mixing state from bulk aerosol data is less definitive than single particle analysis, but because the data are quantitative, it may provide a complementary method to single particle chemical analysis. 相似文献

Dispersion of Heavy Particles Emitted from Area Sources in the Unstable Atmospheric Boundary Layer 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Reliable predictions of the daytime dispersal of heavy particles in the unstable atmospheric boundary layer are important in a variety of disciplines. For many applications, particles disperse from area sources near the ground, and corresponding theoretical solutions are desired to reveal insight into the physical processes. Here, theoretical solutions recently developed for neutral conditions are modified to include the effects of atmospheric instability. The Obukhov length L O and convection velocity w ? are introduced to characterize the patterns of particle dispersion, in additional to friction velocity u ? and settling velocity w s used in the neutral case. The major effects of atmospheric instability are accounted for by modifying the vertical velocity variance profile and considering the ratio of velocity scales w ?/u ?. Theoretical predictions including the mean concentration profile, plume height, and horizontal transport above the source, and ground deposition flux downwind from the source agree well with large-eddy simulation results while the particle plume is within the atmospheric surface layer. The deposition curve is characterized by a power-law decay whose exponent depends on u ?, w s, and w ?. A second steeper power-law develops once the plume extends into the mixed layer. This effect is enhanced with increasing atmospheric instability, implying that particles disperse farther from the source. 相似文献
