天津一次雾-霾天气过程的近地层温湿结构和湍流特征分析

采用地面大气能见度、PM_(2.5)质量浓度、梯度气象资料、塔上湍流观测资料等多种资料及后向轨迹方法,分析近地层温湿结构和湍流特征对2016年12月16日—21日天津地区一次严重持续雾霾天气演变过程的影响.结果表明,本次雾霾天气过程可以明显的分为霾、雾的生成和发展、雾成熟和雾霾消散等4个阶段,近地层温度、相对湿度和风的垂直分布及湍流特征对各阶段的雾-霾转化起到了重要作用.霾生成期间,偏南气流盛行,地面风速降低,RH不断增大,湍流不活跃;地面辐射降温引发了近地层内显著的强逆温,并导致RH由地面到高空逐渐增大,有利于雾的生成和发展;感热通量和潜热通量爆发式增长,导致逆温层瓦解,雾顶继续抬升,雾进入成熟阶段,湍流活动减弱;受西北气流影响,湍流活跃,高空的干冷气团向下取代地面暖湿气团,结束本次雾霾天气过程.采用近地层温湿结构和湍流特征资料,可用于雾-霾天气的演变及其转化过程精细分析.     

1981-2014年四川不同强度霾时空特征及气候成因研究

利用四川156个气象观测站1981-2014年霾日观测资料,对区域内不同强度霾日的时空分布特征及变化趋势进行分析.结果发现：不同强度霾日数呈现轻霾和重霾显著上升、中霾下降的趋势,20世纪90年代后霾日整体偏多,其中,秋、冬季发生频率偏高,12月和1月是多发时段;不同强度年均霾日高值区集中在盆地中部、东部地区,低值区主要位于盆地西南地区,并呈现盆地中北部霾日逐年减少,盆地南部逐年增多的变化趋势.结合季节特征探讨霾日形成机理发现,春、夏季欧亚中高纬度呈现两槽一脊的环流形势,印缅槽较强,利于降水,盆地相对湿度为85%以上,高原东侧上升气流较明显,大气对流层中下层为"上冷下暖"的递减层结,利于大气污染排放物垂直交换及其对外扩散;秋、冬季高纬度以纬向环流为主,经向环流偏弱,冷空气被阻挡在盆地以北以西区域,盆地东部为下沉气流,850 hPa以下的偏东气流使东部污染物向西蔓延,青藏高原以东地区上空为显著的"上暖下冷"逆温层结,相对湿度为80%左右,地面气温增加,相对湿度下降,使霾不易向雾转换,加重霾日高频状况的发生.     

基于油松树轮宽度重建河北青龙过去123年平均相对湿度

相对湿度的研究对理解古气候变化有着重要的科学意义,但是目前国内利用树轮资料重建的历史时期相对湿度变化十分有限。本文利用油松树轮宽度重建了河北青龙地区1890—2012年5—7月的平均相对湿度变化,重建序列的方差解释量为39.1%(减少自由度后为38.0%)。重建序列显示出5个湿润期(1895—1899年,1906—1914年,1924—1926年,1950—1955年,1984—2000年)和5个干旱期(1900—1905年,1917—1921年,1927—1949年,1956—1973年,1975—1981年)。重建序列和观测数据均与邻近研究区的PDSI对应良好,表明该序列具有较强的空间代表性,可以反映河北北部地区的平均相对湿度变化情况。本研究表明研究区相对湿度变化不仅受局地气候控制,还可能受到ENSO影响。     

Competition and group size in Thomas’s langurs (Presbytis thomasi): the folivore paradox revisited

Among primates, group size is highly variable. The standard ecological model assumes that better predation avoidance as group size increases favours living in larger groups, whereas increased travel costs and reduced net food intake due to within-group competition for resources set the upper limit. Folivorous primates, however, tend to defy this generalisation in that some live in small groups despite low costs of feeding competition. To resolve this ’folivore paradox’, it has been suggested that folivore group size is limited by social factors such as male harassment or infanticide, or that females can disperse more easily and thus maintain group size near optimum levels. In this paper, we examine the effects of group size on home range size, day-journey length, activity budget and diet in wild Thomas’s langurs (Presbytis thomasi), which live in one-male multi-female groups with a limited life cycle. We examined only data from the stable middle tenure phase when factors such as the strength of the breeding male or the way in which groups were formed did not influence ranging and activities. During this phase, group size affected day-journey length and home range size, and had a minor effect on diet, but did not influence time spent feeding or resting, allogrooming or birth rates. Hence the upper limit to group size during the middle tenure phase in Thomas’s langurs is not set by feeding competition. The folivore paradox is not due to frequent female dispersal in Thomas’s langurs. The timing of female dispersal is not as expected if it serves to keep group sizes near the ecological optimum, and groups seem to be below this optimum. Instead, female reproductive success is presumably maximised in small to mid-sized groups because larger groups show a clear trend to experience higher risk of take-over, often accompanied by infanticide. Because females can redistribute themselves among nearby groups when groups reorganise each time a new male starts up a new group, females can keep the group small. Thus, a social factor, risk of infanticide, seems to provide the selective advantage to small group size in Thomas’s langurs.

The effects of relative humidity on the insecticidal properties of a diatomite‐based dust

Abstract

The feasibility of using diatomaceous earth (diatomite) as an insecticidal dust was investigated under conditions of high (80%) and low (10%) relative humidity, using the adult red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Tested were diatomite and two lots of a commercial formulation of the same diatomite, containing 0.2% pyrethrins and 1.0% piperonyl butoxide. For comparison, talcum and a talcum‐based commercial formulation, containing the same concentrations of pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide, were included in the tests. The insects were exposed to 0.08 mg/cm² of each material tested, equivalent to the label recommendation of 7 lb/acre for the diatomite‐based commercial insecticide. At 10% RH, higher doses of diatomite were also tested. Mortalities were determined at intervals for up to 84 hours.

Diatomite caused no mortalities at the experimental concentration, regardless of RH. At about four times that rate and 10% RH, it caused less than 5% mortality.

At 80% RH, the diatomite‐based product (P. C. P. Act #14074) was significantly more effective than the talcum‐based one (#13074). At 10% RH, however, the latter acted more quickly than the diatomite‐based formulations, but all produced nearly 100% mortality after 68 hours.

The results are discussed in terms of the physical characteristics of diatomite and in terms of the modes of insecticidal actions of diatomite and pyrethrins. It is concluded that diatomite alone, despite its attractiveness to environmental interests, is not likely to become an effective agent for controlling red flour beetles and other pest insects with similar water‐proofing mechanisms.

亚青会期间南京地区气溶胶浓度变化及其与能见度的关系

为保障2014年青奥会空气质量和制定控制措施提供科学支持,利用2013年8月南京市气溶胶的观测资料,结合气象要素,分析了南京地区气溶胶浓度变化特征,并深入研究了气溶胶质量浓度与相对湿度对能见度的影响.结果表明,观测期间PM10和PM2.5质量浓度平均值分别为67.44μg·m-3和31.92μg·m-3,0.1~10μm粒径范围内的气溶胶粒子数浓度和体积浓度的平均值分别为2466.25 cm-3和19.89μm3·cm-3;对数正态分布(log-normal)拟合平均谱分布得到两个模态的中值粒径分别为0.19μm和1.12μm;局地源强是影响南京气溶胶浓度的重要因子;PM10和PM2.5质量浓度日变化略有差异,PM10浓度日变化主要受交通和边界层活动影响,PM2.5浓度日变化则主要受交通排放和光化学反应生成的二次污染物的影响;对能见度的统计分析表明,能见度随PM2.5浓度和相对湿度的增加而降低,当相对湿度小于70%时,PM2.5浓度对能见度的影响较大,当相对湿度大于70%时,相对湿度对能见度的影响较大.     

Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Polylactic Acid Plastic Degradation

Three high molecular weight (120,000 to 200,000 g mol^–1) polylactic acid (PLA) plastic films from Chronopol (Ch-I) and Cargill Dow Polymers (GII and Ca-I) were analyzed for their degradation under various temperature and relative humidity (RH) conditions. Two sets of plastic films, each containing 11 samples, were randomly hung in a temperature/humidity-controlled chamber by means of plastic-coated paper clips. The tested conditions were 28, 40, and 55°C at 50 and 100% RH, respectively, and 55°C at 10% RH. The three tested PLA films started to lose their tensile properties when their weight-average molecular weight (M _w) was in the range of 50,000 to 75,000 g mol^–1. The average degradation rate of Ch-I, GII, and Ca-I was 28,931, 27,361, and 63,025 M _w/week, respectively. Hence, GII had a faster degradation rate than Ch-I and Ca-I under all tested conditions. The degradation rate of PLA plastics was enhanced by the increase in temperature and relative humidity. This trend was observed in all three PLA plastics (Ca-I, GII, and Ch-I). Of the three tested films, Ch-I was the first to lose its mechanical properties, whereas Ca-I demonstrated the slowest loss, with mechanical properties under all tested conditions.
