Aluminum in the East China Sea and Okinawa Trough, marginal sea areas of the Western North Pacific     

Masayuki Minakawa  Yasunori Watanabe 《Journal of Oceanography》1998,54(6):629-640

The distribution of aluminum (Al) in seawater has been investigated in the continental slope and the Okinawa Trough areas of the East China Sea, which is one of the marginal seas in the western North Pacific Ocean. Aluminum concentration in waters over the slope and the Trough ranged from 5.6 to 25 nmol/kg in the surface layer (0–100 m), and had a minima of 1.1 nmol/kg between 400 and 500 m depth and ranged from 1.3 to 9.7 nmol/kg in the deep or bottom waters. Aluminum values were higher than in the surface waters of the central North Pacific, while minimum values were similar to levels in the intermediate or deep waters of the central North Pacific, except for the bottom water over the slope. This suggests that the high Al concentration in the surface reflects the large atmospheric input of Asian dust around the western side of the North Pacific region. On the continental slope, Al concentrations in the upper 500 m depth decreased slopeward. This horizontal gradient of Al can be explained from the combination of dilution by upwelling of Al-poor water originated from the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) which intrudes into the mid-depth of the Okinawa Trough and the scavenging of Al by biogenic particles in the continental slope zone.  相似文献

Antioxidant efficiency and detoxification enzymes in spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula     

Stefania Gorbi  David Pellegrini  Sara Tedesco  Francesco Regoli   《Marine environmental research》2004,58(2-5):293

Although elasmobranchs are widely distributed species, commonly found on sandy, gravely or muddy bottoms, several biological aspects of their metabolism still remain poorly investigated. In this work the efficiency of antioxidant system and detoxification enzymes were investigated in the coastal spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula and in the red mullet Mullus barbatus for comparison with a teleost species.Organisms were sampled during a bottom trawl survey and analyzed for the biotransformation activity (EROD), levels of metallothioneins, catalase, glutathione S-transferases and total oxyradical scavenging capacity (TOSC) toward peroxyl radicals and hydroxyl radicals.EROD activity in the elasmobranchs was more than one order of magnitude lower than in the red mullets, while similar levels of metallothioneins were measured in these species. S. canicula showed significantly lower antioxidant enzymes and a more reduced efficiency in neutralizing ^√OH; on the other hand the scavenging capability toward ROO^√ was comparable in S. canicula and M. barbatus.  相似文献   

The scavenging of nitrate by clouds and precipitation     

S. Wurzler  A. I. Flossmann  H. R. Pruppacher  S. E. Schwartz 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1995,20(3):259-280

A model with spectral microphysics was developed to describe the scavenging of nitrate aerosol particles and HNO₃ gas. This model was incorporated into the dynamic framework of an entraining air parcel model with which we computed the uptake of nitrate by cloud drops whose size distribution changes with time because of condensation, collision-coalescence and break-up. Significant differences were found between the scavenging behavior of nitrate and our former results on the scavenging behavior of sulfate. These reflect the following chemical and microphysical differences between the two systems:

1. nitrate particles occur in a larger size range than sulfate particles.
2. HNO₃ has a much greater solubility than SO₂ and is taken up irreversibly inside the drops in contrast to SO₂.
3. nitric acid in the cloud water is formed directly on uptake of HNO₃ gas whereas on uptake of SO₂ sulfuric acid is formed only after the reaction with oxidizing agents such as e.g., H₂O₂ or O₃.
4. nitrate resulting from uptake of HNO₃ is confined mainly to small drops, whereas sulfate resulting from uptake of SO₂ is most concentrated in the largest, oldest drops, which have had the greatest time for reaction.

Sensitivity studies showed that the nitrate concentration of small drops is significantly affected by the mass accommodation coefficient.  相似文献   

Observed changes in aerosol physical and optical properties before and after precipitation events     

Xingmin Li  Yan Dong  Zipeng Dong  Chuanli Du  Chuang Chen 《大气科学进展》2016,33(8):931-944

Precipitation scavenging of aerosol particles is an important removal process in the atmosphere that can change aerosol physical and optical properties. This paper analyzes the changes in aerosol physical and optical properties before and after four rain events using in situ observations of mass concentration, number concentration, particle size distribution, scattering and absorption coefficients of aerosols in June and July 2013 at the Xianghe comprehensive atmospheric observation station in China. The results show the effect of rain scavenging is related to the rain intensity and duration, the wind speed and direction. During the rain events, the temporal variation of aerosol number concentration was consistent with the variation in mass concentration, but their size-resolved scavenging ratios were different. After the rain events, the increase in aerosol mass concentration began with an increase in particles with diameter 0.8 μm [measured using an aerodynamic particle sizer(APS)], and fine particles with diameter 0.1 μm [measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS)]. Rainfall was most efficient at removing particles with diameter ～0.6 μm and greater than 3.5 μm. The changes in peak values of the particle number distribution(measured using the SMPS) before and after the rain events reflect the strong scavenging effect on particles within the 100–120 nm size range. The variation patterns of aerosol scattering and absorption coefficients before and after the rain events were similar, but their scavenging ratios differed, which may have been related to the aerosol particle size distribution and chemical composition.  相似文献   

NUMERICAL MODELING OF CUMULUS CLOUD CHEMISTRY—PART Ⅱ:THE IMPACT OF CUMULUS CLOUD PROCESSES ON OZONE CHEMISTRY     

赵春生  秦瑜 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1996,(4)

Ozone chemistry processes are analyzed during a cumulus cloud process with the model(1CCCM)described in Part Ⅰ.The simulation results show that entire cumulus cloud process can bewell described with the development of vertical velocities and liquid water content which are the twomost outstanding features of cumulus clouds.Ozone chemistry is strongly influenced by cumulusclouds.NO_x can be transported upwards above 4 km in the first 20 minutes of the convection eventand form a relative higher concentration area which enhances the production of ozone.Two areas ap-pear during the convection event:area of net ozone production and area of net ozone depletion.Thearea of ozone depletion coincides with the area of liquid water within cloud.Results show that theaqueous phase(cloud water and rainwater)can alter gas ozone level through two ways:one is scav-enging free radicals(HO_2)from the gas phase and thereby inhibiting the reactions of transformationto NO_2 from NO,which results in reduction of the gas source of ozone;the other is aqueous phasechemical reactions which consume ozone in the aqueous phase.Calculations reveal that the reaction O_3+OH→HO_2 is the main pathway of ozone depletion in gas phase during the process of cumulusclouds.  相似文献

利用差分吸收光谱仪DOAS（differential optical absorption spectroscopy）,对2007年11月—2008年1月南京北郊大气SO2、NO2和O3进行了观测。结合Parsivel降水粒子谱仪和自动气象站的资料,对冬季大气污染气体的浓度变化规律及降水和风速风向对其的影响进行了分析。结果表明,南京北郊大气SO2浓度较高,呈明显双峰特征,分别在12时（北京时,下同）和00时达最大,受附近排放源的影响最大,东风及南风时比静风时SO2浓度更高。降水对SO2湿清除效果明显,清除系数平均为0.168 h-1。NO2气体呈明显单峰特征,在18时达最高值。南京北郊是NO2源区之一,主要受附近高速公路汽车尾气排放源的影响。静风时NO2浓度最高。O3浓度受NO2的影响较明显。O3日变化呈单峰特征,在15时达最大值,静风时O3浓度最低。降水对O3的间接影响较明显,在降水时,白天由于太阳辐射较弱,O3浓度降低;夜晚NO浓度较低,使得O3浓度升高。  相似文献

为了深入了解发生在武汉地区一次重雾霾天气过程的气象条件、污染源和污染物的湿清除特征,本文利用空气质量监测资料、地面观测资料和遥感火点监测资料和实测雨滴谱资料,详细分析了这次过程。结果表明:此次持续10 d的重雾霾天气过程发生在高压天气系统和静风条件下,辐射降温形成的稳定逆温边界层结构有利于污染气溶胶的积累和雾霾的形成和发展,尤其是来自南方持续不断的湿平流使雾霾天气得以长时间持续和发展,整个雾霾天气期间能见度均小于2 km,最低能见度不足50 m。2014年11月23~24日降水过程对此类污染物有明显的清除效果,清除率最高的是颗粒物污染,NO_2、SO_2和CO次之,最差的是O_3,通过与Scott(1982)按平均碰并系数E(E=0.65)得到的清除率和雨强的关系比较,武汉地区稳定性降水对气溶胶的平均碰并系数可取0.25~0.35。  相似文献
