Urban air pollution in Pakistan is a serious challenge and it causes significant damage to human health and ecosystems. This paper presents a modelling study using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model coupled with Chemistry(WRF-Chem) to simulate the spatial distributions and temporal variations of aerosol concentrations over Pakistan, focusing on contributions of domestic emission sectors(transport, industry, residential, and energy) to mass concentrations of sulfate(SO2–4), nitrate(NO–3), ammonium(NH+4), black carbon(BC), and organic carbon(OC) during the months of January, April, July, and October in 2010. Sensitivity studies indicate that, averaged over January, April, July, and October of 2010, energy and industry sectors have the largest contributions to SO2–4 concentrations, each of which contributes about 10%?20% to SO2– 4over the polluted eastern Pakistan. The contributions from residential and transport sectors to NO–3 concentrations reach 40%?50% in central Pakistan. The residential sector has the highest contribution of 50%–80% to BC and OC loading in northeastern and southern Pakistan. Examination of sector contributions to aerosol levels in Lahore, the most polluted city in Pakistan, suggests that reductions in emissions in the residential sector should be an efficient measure for improving particulate matter air quality in this region.  相似文献

基于2015-2020年北京35个环境空气站和20个气象站观测资料,应用机器学习方法(随机森林算法)分离了气象条件和源排放对大气污染物浓度的影响.结果发现,为应对疫情采取的隔离措施使北京2020年春节期间大气污染物浓度降低了35.1％-51.8％;其中,背景站氮氧化物和一氧化碳浓度的降幅最大,超过了以往报道较多的交通站点.同时,2020年春节期间的气象条件不利于污染物扩散,导致多次霾污染事件发生.为进一步改善北京空气质量,未来需要优化减排策略.  相似文献   

Comparative research on visibility and light extinction of PM2.5 components during 2014–17 in the North China plain: 2014-2017年华北平原PM2.5组分消光与能见度对比研究          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2021,14(2):100034

Severe air pollution with visibility deterioration has long been a focus in the North China Plain (NCP). In this study, concentration and light extinction analysis of PM_2.5 chemical components were carried out from 2014 to 2017 to study the pollution characteristics in Baoding, a case city of the NCP. The annual average concentration of total PM_2.5 components showed a declining trend, decreasing by 11 µg m⁻³ (water-soluble inorganic ions), 23 µg m⁻³ (carbonaceous aerosols), and 1796 ng m⁻³ (inorganic elements). Contributing 82.9% to the concentration of total ions, the dominant components, NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, and SO₄²⁻ became the main pollutants in PM_2.5 pollution. Based on the IMPROVE algorithm, the average reconstructed PM_2.5 mass concentration was 93 ± 69 µg m⁻³ during the observation period. Meanwhile, the light extinction coefficients were 373.8 ± 233.6 M m⁻¹, 405.3 ± 300.1 M m⁻¹, 554.3 ± 378.2 M m⁻¹ and 1005.2 ± 750.3 M m⁻¹, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. Ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, and organic matter were the largest contributors to light extinction, accounting for a total of 55%–77% in the four seasons. The b_sca (light scattering by particles and gases) reconstructed from PM_2.5 components (Rb_sca) and the b_sca converted from visibility (Vb_sca) were compared to evaluate the performance of the IMPROVE algorithm, revealing a high correlation coefficient of 0.84. The high values of Vb_sca were underestimated while the low values were overestimated, as determined through comparison with the one-to-ne line. Especially, when Rb_sca > 1123 M m⁻¹ (corresponding to < 2.0 km, approximately), Vb_sca was underestimated by 17.6%. PM_2.5 mass concentration and relative humidity also had an impact on the estimation.摘要华北平原大气污染与低能见度状况一直是人们关切的问题.本文通过分析2014 - 2017年PM_2.5化学成分的浓度和消光效果, 研究了华北平原典型城市保定市的大气污染特征.结果表明, PM_2.5组分的年均浓度显示下降趋势, 水溶性无机离子,碳质气溶胶和金属元素分别减少了11 µg m⁻³, 23 µg m⁻³和1796 ng m⁻³.NH₄⁺,NO₃⁻和SO₄²⁻是PM_2.5污染的主要污染物, 三者之和占总离子浓度的82.9%.基于IMPROVE方程对细颗粒物进行重构, 在观测期间PM_2.5质量浓度平均为93 ± 69 µg m^−3, 春季,夏季,秋季和冬季的消光系数分别为373.8 ± 233.6 M m⁻¹,405.3 ± 300.1 M m⁻¹,554.3 ± 378.2 M m⁻¹和1005.2 ± 750.3 M m⁻¹.硫酸铵,硝酸铵和有机物对消光的贡献最大, 不同季节下占比达55% ~77%.通过PM_2.5组分进行重构, 利用IMPROVE算法计算得到Rbsca, 用能见度测量值转换得到Vbsca, 二者具有较高的相关性 (r²=0.84) ;但存在Vbsca的高值被低估, Vbsca的低值被高估的现象;特别是当Rbsca > 1123 M m⁻¹ (对应能见度约小于2.0 km) 时, Vbsca的值被低估了17.6%.高浓度PM_2.5和高湿度对IMPROVE算法结果有显著的影响.  相似文献   

New aerosol particle formation via certain ion driven processes     

《Atmospheric Research》2007,83(3-4):547-553

Ions can speed up the formation of aerosol particles. The former studies have mainly concerned on the role of the ion charge itself. We have studied the possible (additional) role of the actual small air ion spectrum shape, and the quantitative role of ion–ion recombination pathway. By means of our ion evolution model, formation of new species (H₂SO₄)_n(NH₃)_m(HNO₃)_k via ion–ion recombination was investigated. The model shows how the generation rate of the new species depends on the concentrations of H₂SO₄ and NH₃, and how it depends on the tropospheric background aerosol situation. The rate can be up to a few new neutral complexes per cubic centimeter and per second. New particle generation via ion–ion recombination provides an extra channel, especially for the clean atmosphere. Former results have shown that such situations are often present in Antarctica. Our aerosol spectrum measurements reveal a number of similar non-Antarctic results. Sometimes, such situations are followed by aerosol bursts, which may be (partly) due to an ion–ion recombination channel.  相似文献   

Simulation of the Direct Radiative Effect of Mineral Dust and Sea Salt Aerosols in a Doubled Carbon Dioxide Climate          下载免费PDF全文

YUE Xu  LIAO Hong  TANG Jin-Ping 《大气和海洋科学快报》2013,6(5):343-348

The authors examine the equilibrium climatic response to the direct radiative effect(DRE)of mineral dust and sea salt aerosols in a doubled-CO2climate with two-way coupling of aerosol-climate interactions.In response to the drier and windier conditions,dust emissions increase by 26%in the Sahara Desert and by 18%on the global scale relative to present day.Sea salt emissions increase in high latitudes(60°)but decrease in middle latitudes(30°–60°)of both hemispheres due to the poleward shift of westerlies,leading to a 3%decrease in global emissions.The burdens of dust and sea salt increase by 31%and 7%respectively,because reductions in rainfall over the tropical oceans increase the lifetime of particles in the warmer climate.The higher aerosol loading in the doubled-CO2climate reinforces aerosol DRE by0.2 W m 2,leading to an additional cooling of 0.1°C at the surface compared with the climatic effects of aerosols in present day.The additional cooling from changes in natural aerosols compensates for up to 15%of the regional warming induced by doubled CO2.  相似文献   

Real-Time Observation on Water-Soluble Ions of PM2.5in Beijing under the Influences of Different Air Masses in Summer简          下载免费PDF全文

CHENG Meng-Tian  SUN Yang  ZHU Xiao-Wan  CHAO Na 《大气和海洋科学快报》2014,(1):23-27

To further understand the variations of water-soluble ions in PM2.5 in Beijing,the authors observed their concentrations continuously and in high temporal resolution by the system for rapid collection of fine particles and ion chromatography（RCFP-IC） during 12–18 July 2010.These results combined with those of earlier backward trajectory research are used analyzed to determine the causes of concentration changes in water-soluble ions under the influences of two kinds of air masses in summer.The results indicate that concentrations of NO3^-,SO4^2-,and NH4＋ were influenced strongly by the continental air mass than by the marine air mass.Cl^- and Na^＋ were not changed significantly.Because the sources of K^＋,Mg^2＋,and Ca^2＋ are mainly concentrated on land,their concentration levels were slightly higher under the control of continental air mass than that of the marine air mass.Variations of NO2^- during the observation differed from those of other ions;its concentration was significantly higher under the influence of marine air mass.Moreover,the authors obtain the diurnal variations of eight water-soluble inorganic ions including NH4^＋,K^＋,Mg^2＋,Ca^2＋,Cl^-,NO2^-,NO3^-,and SO4^2-.Diurnal variations of NH4^＋,NO3^-,and Cl^- showed single peak,which appeared before noon,while SO4^2- showed two peaks that appeared during rush hours.Those of Mg^2＋,Ca^2＋,and K＋ showed single peak that appeared in the afternoon.That of NO2^- showed with a peak appearing at sunrise and a valley appearing at sunset.  相似文献

Middle-High Latitude N2O Distributions Related to the Arctic Vortex Breakup     

周立波  邹捍  郜永褀 《大气科学进展》2006,23(2):215-223

The relationship of N2O distributions with the Arctic vortex breakup is first analyzed with a probability distribution function （PDF） analysis. The N2O concentration shows different distributions between the early and late vortex breakup years. In the early breakup years, the N2O concentration shows low values and large dispersions after the vortex breakup, which is related to the inhomogeneity in the vertical advection in the middle and high latitude lower stratosphere. The horizontal diffusion coefficient （Kyy） shows a larger value accordingly. In the late breakup years, the N2O concentration shows high values and more uniform distributions than in the early years after the vortex breakup, with a smaller vertical advection and Kyy after the vortex breakup. It is found that the N2O distributions are largely affected by the Arctic vortex breakup time but the dynamically defined vortex breakup time is not the only factor.  相似文献   

Theorem of turbulent intensity and macroscopic mechanism of the turbulence development     

Hu YinQiao  Chen JinBei  Zuo HongChao 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(5):789-800

Turbulence is one of the most common nature phenomena in everyday experience, but that is not adequately understood yet. This article reviews the history and present state of development of the turbulence theory and indicates the necessity to probe into the turbulent features and mechanism with the different methods at different levels. Therefore this article proves a theorem of turbulent transpor- tation and a theorem of turbulent intensity by using the theory of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and that the Reynolds turbulence and the Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence are united in the theorems of the turbulent intensity and the turbulent transportation. The macroscopic cause of the development of fluid turbulence is a result from shearing effect of the velocity together with the temperature, which is also the macroscopic cause of the stretch and fold of trajectory in the phase space of turbulent field. And it is proved by the observed data of atmosphere that the phenomenological coefficient of turbulent in- tensity is not only a function of the velocity shear but also a function of temperature shear, viz the sta- bility of temperature stratification, in the atmosphere. Accordingly, authenticity of the theorem, which is proved by the theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, of turbulent intensity is testified by the facts of observational experiment.  相似文献   

A Laboratory Model for the Flow in Urban Street Canyons Induced by Bottom Heating   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2  

LIU Huizhi  LIANG Bin  ZHU Fengrong  ZHANG Boyin  SANG Jianguo 《大气科学进展》2003,20(4):554-564

Water tank experiments are carried out to investigate the convection flow induced by bottom heating and the effects of the ambient wind on the flow in non-symmetrical urban street canyons based on the PIV (Particle Image Visualization) technique. Fluid experiments show that with calm ambient wind,the flows in the street canyon are completely driven by thermal force, and the convection can reach the upper atmosphere of the street canyon. Horizontal and vertical motions also appear above the roofs of the buildings. These are the conditions which favor the exchange of momentum and air mass between the street canyon and its environment. More than two vortices are induced by the convection, and the complex circulation pattern will vary with time in a wider street canyon. However， in a narrow street canyon， just one vortex appears. With a light ambient wind, the bottom heating and the associated convection result in just one main vortex. As the ambient wind speed increases, the vortex becomes more organized and its center shifts closer to the leeward building.  相似文献
