Urban surface and radiation processes are incorporated into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to investigate the
diurnal variation of flow in a street canyon with an aspect ratio of 1. The developed CFD model predicts surface and substrate
temperatures of the roof, walls, and road. One-day simulations are performed with various ambient wind speeds of 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6 ms−1, with the ambient wind perpendicular to the north–south oriented canyon. During the day, the largest maximum surface temperature
for all surfaces is found at the road surface for an ambient wind speed of 3 ms−1 (56.0°C). Two flow regimes are identified by the vortex configuration in the street canyon. Flow regime I is characterized
by a primary vortex. Flow regime II is characterized by two counter-rotating vortices, which appears in the presence of strong
downwind building-wall heating. Air temperature is relatively low near the downwind building wall in flow regime I and inside
the upper vortex in flow regime II. In flow regime II, the upper vortex expands with increasing ambient wind speed, thus enlarging
the extent of cool air within the canyon. The canyon wind speed in flow regime II is proportional to the ambient wind speed,
but that in flow regime I is not. For weak ambient winds, the dependency of surface sensible heat flux on the ambient wind
speed is found to play an essential role in determining the relationship between canyon wind speed and ambient wind speed. 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

A box model to simulate mass transfer inside deep street canyons and with atmospheric flow above is introduced and discussed.
Two ideal deep street canyons with aspect ratios of 3 and 5 (the aspect ratio being the ratio between building height and
street width H/W) are considered. This range of aspect ratios, found in many densely populated historical centres in Mediterranean cities
as well as in other cities around the world, potentially creates high air pollutant concentration levels. Our model is based
on a combination of analytical solutions and computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using carbon monoxide (CO) as a
tracer pollutant. The analytical part of the model is based on mass transfer velocity concepts while CFD simulations are used
both for a preliminary validation of the physical hypothesis underlying the model (steady-state simulations) and to evaluate
the concentration pattern with time (transient or wash-out simulations). Wash-out simulation curves were fitted by model curves,
and mass transfer velocities were evaluated through a best-fitting procedure. Upon introducing into the model the contribution
of traffic-produced turbulence, the modelled CO concentration levels became comparable with those obtained in real-world monitoring
campaigns. The mass transfer rate between the canyon and the above atmosphere was then expressed in terms of an overall mass
transfer velocity, which directly allows the evaluation of the mass transfer rate between the bottom volume of the canyon
(pedestrian level) with the above atmosphere. Overall mass transfer velocities are reported as a function of the operating
conditions studied (H/W = 3–5 and wind speeds = 2–8 ms−1). Finally, a simple expression is reported for determining pollutant concentrations at the pedestrian level based on the
overall mass transfer velocity defined. 相似文献

Height, time, and latitude dependences are analyzed of zonal mean vertical component of wind velocity for the period of 1992–2006
from the UKMO atmospheric general circulation model. It is shown that the ascending wind speed can provide vertical transport,
against gravity, of rather large (up to 3–5μm) aerosol particles with density to 1.0–1.5 g/cm3 in the stratosphere and mesosphere. The wind velocity vertical component is supposedly a significant factor of particle motion
up to 30–40–km levels and can affect sedimentation rate and residence time of the aerosol particles in the stratosphere. Structure
of the mean vertical component of wind velocity allows occurrence of dynamically stable aerosol layers in the middle stratosphere. 相似文献

An analytical model has been developed for the flow along a street canyon (of height H and width W), generated by an external wind blowing at any angle relative to the axis of the street. Initially, we consider the special
case of a wind blowing parallel to the street. The interior of the street is decomposed into three regions, and the flow within
each region is assumed to depend only on the external wind and the distance to the closest solid boundary. This decomposition
leads to two different flow regimes: one for narrow streets (H/W > 1/2) and one for wide streets (H/W < 1/2). The theoretical model agrees well with results obtained from numerical simulations using a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes
model. We then generalize the model to the case of arbitrary wind direction. Numerical solutions show that the streamlines
of the mean flow in the street have a spiral form, and for most angles of incidence, the mass flux along the street scales
on the component of the external wind resolved parallel to the street. We use this result to generalize the model derived
for wind blowing parallel to the street, and the results from this model agree well with the numerical simulations. The model
that has been developed can be evaluated rapidly using only very modest computing power, so it is suitable for use as an operational
tool. 相似文献

Analytical expressions for the cross-spectrum of wind speed are developed for the stochastic simulation of wind power in south-eastern
Australia. The expressions are valid for heights above the ground in the range 40–80 m, site separations of 1–30 km, and frequencies
of (1/6)–3 cycles h−1. The influence of site separation distance is taken into account, as are variables that are defined for blocks of time. These
variables include the mean and standard deviation of wind speed and the mean wind direction. The parameters of the model equations
are determined by non-linear least-squares regression with cross-validation over 10 years of wind measurements from 84 towers
in south-eastern Australia. 相似文献

Pollutant Concentrations in Street Canyons of Different Aspect Ratio with Avenues of Trees for Various Wind Directions 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
This study summarizes the effects of avenues of trees in urban street canyons on traffic pollutant dispersion. We describe various wind-tunnel experiments with different tree-avenue models in combination with variations in street-canyon aspect ratio W/H (with W the street-canyon width and H the building height) and approaching wind direction. Compared to tree-free street canyons, in general, higher pollutant concentrations are found. Avenues of trees do not suppress canyon vortices, although the air ventilation in canyons is hindered significantly. For a perpendicular wind direction, increases in wall-average and wall-maximum concentrations at the leeward canyon wall and decreases in wall-average concentrations at the windward wall are found. For oblique and perpendicular wind directions, increases at both canyon walls are obtained. The strongest effects of avenues of trees on traffic pollutant dispersion are observed for oblique wind directions for which also the largest concentrations at the canyon walls are found. Thus, the prevailing assumption that attributes the most harmful dispersion conditions to a perpendicular wind direction does not hold for street canyons with avenues of trees. Furthermore, following dimensional analysis, an estimate of the normalized wall-maximum traffic pollutant concentration in street canyons with avenues of trees is derived. 相似文献

Characterizations of urban and regional sources of particulate matter (PM) were performed in the Milan area (North of Italy) during Föhn and stagnant (non-Föhn) conditions. The measurements were performed at two different places: in an urban area North of Milan (Bresso) and in a regional area at the EMEP-GAW station in Ispra (about 65 km NW from Milan) during the winter periods of the years 2002–2007. Particle size distributions and chemical bulk analysis of aerosols are combined with single particle mass spectrometry to obtain information about the chemical content of the particles and their mixing state. Föhn conditions are characterized by extremely clean background air from which background aerosol is scavenged, and consequently local sources (here defined as sources between the sampling sites and the mountain range top about 100–150 km away depending on the wind direction) determine the aerosol properties.It was observed that during Föhn events the accumulation mode in the size range 50 nm < d < 300 nm practically disappears and that the size fraction below 50 nm dominates the total number distribution. The significant change in the number size distribution and the large decrease in PM10 mass during Föhn events are accompanied by a significant change in the chemical composition of the particles. Results from bulk chemical analysis showed high amounts of carbonaceous compounds and very low concentrations of ammonium nitrate (as indicator for secondary chemistry) during Föhn episodes, in contrast to stagnant conditions, when secondary components are dominating the aerosol composition. Single particle measurements confirm the high contribution of carbonaceous compounds in locally emitted particles.It was concluded that particles that originated in the urban area come mainly from combustion processes, especially direct traffic emissions, domestic heating and industrial activities, whereas the regionally emitted particles are different with much less traffic contribution.We estimate that under prevailing (non-Föhn) winter conditions, about 50–65% of the aerosol mass load in the city of Milan are caused by local emissions, and about 35–50% come from regional background. This finding suggests that in order to improve air quality in a big city like Milan, it is important to combine local traffic restriction interventions with other long-term regional scale air-quality-measures. 相似文献

Particle number size distribution(PNSD) between 10 nm and 20 μm were measured in the Pearl River Delta(PRD) region in winter 2011.The average particle number concentration of the nucleation mode(10-20 nm),Aitken mode(20-100 nm),accumulation mode(100 nm-1μm) and coarse mode(1-20 μm) particles were 1 552,7 470,4 012,and 19 cm-3,respectively.The volume concentration of accumulation mode particles with peak at 300 nm accounted for over 70% of the total volume concentration.Diurnal variations and dependencies on meteorological parameters of PNSD were investigated.The diurnal variation of nucleation mode particles was mainly influenced by new particle formation events,while the diurnal variation of Aitken mode particles correlated to the traffic emission and the growth process of nucleation mode particles.When the PRD region was controlled by a cold high pressure,conditions of low relative humidity,high wind speed and strong radiation are favorable for the occurrence of new particle formation(NPF) events.The frequency of occurrence of NPF events was 21.3% during the whole measurement period.Parameters describing NPF events,including growth rate(GR) and source rate of condensable vapor(Q),were slightly larger than those in previous literature.This suggests that intense photochemical and biological activities may be the source of condensable vapor for particle growth,even during winter in the PRD. 相似文献

An observational campaign was conducted in the street canyon of Zhujiang Road in Nanjing city in 2007.Hourly mean concentrations of PM10 were measured at street and roof levels.The Operational Street Pollution Model(OSPM)street canyon dispersion model was used to calculate the street concentrations and the results were compared with the measurements.The results show that there is good agreement between measured and predicted concentrations.The correlation coecient R2 values(R2 is a measure of the correlation of the predicted and measured time series of concentrations)are 0.5319,0.8044,and 0.6630 for the scatter plots of PM10 corresponding to light wind speed conditions,higher wind speed conditions,and all wind speed conditions,respectively.PM10 concentrations tend to be smaller for the higher wind speed cases and decrease rapidly with increasing wind speed.The presentations of measured and modelled concentration dependence on wind direction show fairly good agreement.PM10 concentrations measured on the windward side are relatively smaller,compared with the corresponding results for the leeward side.This study demonstrates that it is possible to use the OSPM to model PM10 dispersion rules for an urban street canyon. 相似文献

A multi-model ensemble approach for assessment of climate change impact on surface winds in France 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Statistical downscaling of 14 coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCM) is presented to assess potential
changes of the 10 m wind speeds in France. First, a statistical downscaling method is introduced to estimate daily mean 10 m
wind speed at specific sites using general circulation model output. Daily 850 hPa wind field has been selected as the large
scale circulation predictor. The method is based on a classification of the daily wind fields into a few synoptic weather
types and multiple linear regressions. Years are divided into an extended winter season from October to March and an extended
summer season from April to September, and the procedure is conducted separately for each season. ERA40 reanalysis and observed
station data have been used to build and validate the downscaling algorithm over France for the period 1974–2002. The method
is then applied to 14 AOGCMs of the coupled model intercomparison project phase 3 (CMIP3) multi-model dataset. Three time
periods are focused on: a historical period (1971–2000) from the climate of the twentieth century experiment and two climate
projection periods (2046–2065 and 2081–2100) from the IPCC SRES A1B experiment. Evolution of the 10 m wind speed in France
and associated uncertainties are discussed. Significant changes are depicted, in particular a decrease of the wind speed in
the Mediterranean area. Sources of those changes are investigated by quantifying the effects of changes in the weather type
occurrences, and modifications of the distribution of the days within the weather types. 相似文献

Scalar Fluxes from Urban Street Canyons Part II: Model 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
A practical model is developed for the vertical flux of a scalar, such as heat, from an urban street canyon that accounts for variations of the flow and turbulence with canyon geometry. The model gives the magnitude and geometric dependence of the flux from each facet of the urban street canyon, and is shown to agree well with wind-tunnel measurements described in Part I. The geometric dependence of the flux from an urban street canyon is shown to be determined by two physical processes. Firstly, as the height-to-width ratio of the street canyon increases, so does the roughness length and displacement height of the surface. This increase leads to a reduction in the wind speed in the inertial sublayer above the street canyons. Since the speed of the circulations in the street are proportional to this inertial sublayer wind speed, the flux then reduces with the inertial sublayer wind speed. This process is dominant at low height-to-width ratios. Secondly, the character of the circulations within the street canyon also varies as the height-to-width ratio increases. The flow in the street is partitioned into a recirculation region and a ventilated region. When the street canyon has high height-to-width ratios the recirculation region occupies the whole street canyon and the wind speeds within the street are low. This tendency decreases the flux at high height-to-width ratios. These processes tend to reduce the flux density from the individual facets of the street canyon, when compared to the flux density from a horizontal surface of the same material. But the street canyon has an increased total surface area, which means that the total flux from the street canyon is larger than from a horizontal surface. The variations in scalar flux from an urban street canyon with geometry is over a factor of two, which means that the physical mechanisms responsible should be incorporated into energy balance models for urban areas. 相似文献

A meteorological situation is under consideration during a dust storm observed on September 5–7, 1992 over the Ukraine and
Belarus territory contaminated by radionuclide products after the Chernobyl accident. The highest average wind speed in Chernobyl
and Pripyat was 10–12 m/s, wind gusts reached 20 m/s. It was found that the radioactive aerosol concentration in the zone
of alienation of the Chernobyl NPP increased by one or two orders of magnitude. The transfer of radioactive dust particles
to the Vilnius outskirts is recorded. 相似文献

The impact of ground heating on flow fields in street canyons under different ambient wind speed conditions was studied based on numerical methods.A series of numerical tests were performed,and three factors including height-to-width(H/W) ratio,ambient wind speed and ground heating intensity were taken into account.Three types of street canyon with H/W ratios of 0.5,1.0 and 2.0,respectively,were used in the simulation and seven speed values ranging from 0.0 to 3.0 m s 1 were set for the ambient wind speed.The ground heating intensity,which was defined as the difference between the ground temperature and air temperature,ranged from 10 to 40 K with an increase of 10 K in the tests.The results showed that under calm conditions,ground heating could induce circulation with a wind speed of around 1.0 m s 1,which is enough to disperse pollutants in a street canyon.It was also found that an ambient wind speed threshold may exist for street canyons with a fixed H/W ratio.When ambient wind speed was lower than the threshold identified in this study,the impact of the thermal effect on the flow field was obvious,and there existed a multi-vortex flow pattern in the street canyon.When the ambient wind speed was higher than the threshold,the circulation pattern was basically determined by dynamic effects.The tests on the impact of heating intensity showed that a higher ground heating intensity could strengthen the vortical flow within the street canyon,which would help improve pollutant diffusion capability in street canyons. 相似文献

The fractions of local traffic (LT), urban background (UBG) and regional background (RBG) of the particle pollution at a traffic-influenced
kerbside in Dresden, Germany, were determined by measurements of size-segregated mass concentration, chemical composition
and particle size distributions in a network of five measurement stations partly existing and partly set up for this study.
Besides the kerbside station, one urban background site and three rural sites were included in the study. Using data from
these different sites, the LT, UBG, and RBG contributions were calculated, following the approach of Lenschow et al. (2001). At the kerbside site, 19% of the total number concentration (DpSt = 10–600 nm) could be attributed to the RBG, 15% to the UBG, and 66% to the LT immediately nearby. Particle mass concentrations
up to Dpaer = 420 nm RBG amounts to 68%, UBG to 21%, and LT only to 11%. Highest mass concentrations were observed at all stations in
autumn and winter during easterly inflow directions. The local traffic fraction of PM10 mass at the kerbside station was found to be 30% for westerly inflow, but only 7% for southeasterly inflow due to the dominating
transport fraction from up to 80% of the particle mass at this inflow direction. Size-resolved investigation showed the main
fractions in both the particle size ranges of Dpaer = 0.42 to 1.2 and 0.14 to 0.42 μm at all stations. The main components sulphate, ammonium and total carbon showed higher
concentrations at south-eastern/eastern inflow in autumn at all stations, while nitrate at the kerbside and urban background
site was higher during westerly inflow in winter. The chemical composition at the regional background site at westerly inflow
(12% nitrate, 8% sulphate, 11% total carbon) was significantly different from that at easterly inflow (3% nitrate, 15% sulphate,
22% total carbon). The prevailing part of the ionic mass was always found in the fine particle range of Dpaer = 0.14 to 1.2 μm at all stations. For all inflow directions highest total carbon concentrations were observed at the kerbside
station, especially in the ultra-fine size range of Dpaer = 0.05 to 0.14 μm with up to 30% of the whole carbon. PAH concentrations were always higher at south-eastern/eastern inflow
especially during wintertime. Trace metal components and silicon were found mainly in the coarse mode fraction at the kerbside
resulting from abrasion or resuspension. 相似文献

Impact of Sea-Spray on the Atmospheric Surface Layer 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The feedback effects of sea-spray on the heat and momentum fluxes under equilibrium conditions associated with winds of tropical
cyclones are investigated using a one-dimensional coupled sea-spray and atmospheric surface-layer (ASL) model. This model
is capable of simulating the microphysical aspects of the evaporation of saline water droplets of various sizes and their
dynamic and thermal interaction with the turbulence mixing that is simulated by the Mellor–Yamada 1.5-order closure scheme.
Sea-spray droplet generation is described by a state-of-the-art parametrization that predicts the size spectrum of sea-spray
droplets for a given surface forcing. The results from a series of simulations indicate the way in which evaporating droplets
of various sizes modify the turbulence mixing near the surface, which in turn affects further droplet evaporation. All these
results are direct consequences of the effects of sea-spray on the balance of turbulent kinetic energy in the spray-filled
surface layer. In particular, the overall impact of sea-spray droplets on the mean wind depends on the wind speed at the level
of sea-spray generation. When the wind speed is below 40 m s−1, the droplets are small in size and tend to evaporate substantially and thus cool the spray-filled layer, while for wind
speeds above 50 m s−1, the size of the droplets is so large that they do not have enough time to evaporate much before falling back into the sea.
The sensible heat carried by the droplets is released to the ambient air, increasing the buoyancy of the surface layer and
enhancing the turbulent mixing. The suspension of sea-spray droplets reduces the buoyancy and makes the surface layer more
stable, decreasing the friction velocity and the downward turbulent mixing of momentum. The results from the numerical experiments
also suggest that, in order not to violate the constant flux assumption critical to the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, a
displacement equal to the mean wave height should be included in the logarithmic profiles of the wind and thermal fields. 相似文献

Aerosol optical properties over Solar Village, Saudi Arabia have been studied using ground-based remote sensing observations through the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Our analysis covered 8 recorded years of aerosol measurements, starting from February 1999 through January 2007. The seasonal mean values of aerosol optical thickness (AOT), the Ångström wavelength exponent α and the surface wind speed (V), exhibit a one year cyclical pattern. Seasonal variations are clearly found in the shape and magnitude of the volume size distribution (VSD) of the coarse size mode due to dust emission. The Spring is characterized by dusty aerosols as the modal value of the exponent α was low ~ 0.25 while that of AOT was high ~ 0.3. The modal value of wind speed was the highest ~ 3.6 m/s in spring. The increase in wind speed is responsible for increasing the concentration of dust particles during Spring. Spring of 2003 has the highest mean values of AOT, V and VSD and the lowest mean value for the exponent α. The seasonal mean values of the exponent α are anticorrelated with those of the wind speed (r = − 0.63). The annual mean values of the exponent α are well correlated (r = 0.77) with those of the difference between the maximum and minimum values of temperature ΔT. They are anticorrelated (r = − 0.74) with the annual mean values of the relative humidity. Large aerosol particles and high relative humidity increase the radiative forcing. This results in reduction of the values of the temperature difference ΔT. 相似文献

How Well Can We Measure the Vertical Wind Speed? Implications for Fluxes of Energy and Mass 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

Sonic anemometers are capable of measuring the wind speed in all three dimensions at high frequencies (10–50 Hz), and are relied upon to estimate eddy-covariance-based fluxes of mass and energy over a wide variety of surfaces and ecosystems. In this study, wind-velocity measurement errors from a three-dimensional sonic anemometer with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation were estimated for over 100 combinations of angle-of-attack and wind direction using a novel technique to measure the true angle-of-attack and wind speed within the turbulent atmospheric surface layer. Corrections to the vertical wind speed varied from −5 to 37% for all angles-of-attack and wind directions examined. When applied to eddy-covariance data from three NOAA flux sites, the wind-velocity corrections increased the magnitude of CO2 fluxes, sensible heat fluxes, and latent heat fluxes by ≈11%, with the actual magnitude of flux corrections dependent upon sonic anemometer, surface type, and scalar. A sonic anemometer that uses vertically aligned transducers to measure the vertical wind speed was also tested at four angles-of-attack, and corrections to the vertical wind speed measured using this anemometer were within ±1% of zero. Sensible heat fluxes over a forest canopy measured using this anemometer were 15% greater than sensible heat fluxes measured using a sonic anemometer with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation. These results indicate that sensors with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation, which includes the majority of the research-grade three-dimensional sonic anemometers currently in use, should be redesigned to minimize sine errors by measuring the vertical wind speed using one pair of vertically aligned transducers. 相似文献
