为了解北京春季气溶胶光学特性,利用AERONET Level 2.0数据资料研究了2010～2014年北京市春季大气气溶胶光学参数,以晴空作为背景,比较分析了春季及沙尘期间大气气溶胶光学性质的差异.研究发现,北京春季与沙尘期间粗粒子消光占总消光的28%和59%,沙尘期间粒子吸收仅占消光的11.4%,说明沙尘天气发生时以粗粒子消光为主且吸收作用弱.沙尘天气溶胶光学厚度呈现出高值,其值为春季平均值的1.7倍.Angstrom波长指数在沙尘期间远小于非沙尘期间,且有85%小于0.6.北京春季体积尺度谱以粗模态峰为主,其中沙尘天粗模态的体积浓度为0.81μm³/μm²明显大于春季的值(0.25μm³/μm²).沙尘期间单次散射反照率随波长增加递增,在波长440~1020nm间的平均值大于春季均值.复折射指数实部在沙尘过程的平均值达到1.51(440nm),春季均值为1.48(440nm),表明沙尘气溶胶的散射能力更强;复折射指数虚部随波长增大呈减小趋势,且春季平均值大于沙尘期间的值.沙尘期间辐射强迫大于春季值,并远高于春季晴空条件下均值.     

Optical investigations of dust storms during U.S.S.R.-U.S. experiments in Tadzhikistan, 1989

The results of studies on dust aerosol optical properties obtained during the U.S.S.R.-U.S. experiment are discussed. The ground-based and aircraft measurements carried out during the experiment allow the estimation of characteristic values of aerosol optical depth, aerosol light-scattering coefficients, the degree of linear polarization, and aureole phase functions for different atmospheric conditions in Central Soviet Asia. Two dust storms were observed for which the recorded aerosol optical depth at λ = 0.55 μm {τ_a(0.55)} reached 1.5 on 16 and 17 September 1989, and 3.5 on 20 and 21 September 1989. The optical characteristics (spectral dependence of the optical depth, degree of linear polarization) were similar for two dust episodes.     

Size distributions of dust aerosol measured during the Soviet-American experiment in Tadzhikistan, 1989

Size distribution data obtained during the U.S.S.R.-U.S. dust experiment make it possible to propose a general conception about the size distribution of dust aerosols within the size range 0.005–100 μm. The microstructure for the optically active fraction of arid aerosol is approximated in the form of a log-normal distribution with parameters D = 3.5−6 μm, δ² = 0.5−0.8, which can be used when estimating radiative calculations.     

Optical absorption by aerosol black carbon and dust in a desert region of Central Asia

In September 1989 a joint U.S.S.R.-U.S. study of the causes and effects of desert dust on the environment was conducted in the Tadzhik S.S.R. in Soviet Central Asia. The objectives of the study included measurements of optical absorption by suspended material, both windblown dust and aerosol “black” carbon. This latter material is a combustion effluent, prevalent in emissions from poorly controlled burning, with a long atmospheric lifetime and a large cross-section for the absorption of visible radiation. The measurements obtained from the analysis of filter samples indicate that only during periods of active dust production was there a significant contribution of dust to total absorption. At other times, the presence of black carbon from local and regional sources accounted for approximately 90° of the total aerosol optical absorption. The conclusions are that fuel combustion may produce a greater optical impact on the atmosphere in less-developed areas of the world than that arising from the effects of desert dust production.     

中国沙尘气溶胶的间接辐射强迫与气候效应

利用在线耦合的区域气候化学模式系统(RegCCMS),对2003~2007年的3,4,5月中国沙尘气溶胶的空间分布,间接辐射强迫和间接气候效应进行模拟.结果表明:沙尘分布主要集中在中国西北的新疆、内蒙、甘肃等地区.5月份最高的中心值浓度达到3500μg/m3,3个月地面浓度依次增大.3,4,5月由沙尘气溶胶造成的第一间接辐射强迫平均值分别为-1.26,-2.0,-2.69W/m2.局部地区达到-7W/m2.考虑到沙尘气溶胶的第一间接气候效应后,使近地面气温下降,降水减少,3,4,5月地面气温变化的平均值为-0.05,-0.07,-0.08K. 3,4,5月降水变化平均值分别为-0.0037,-0.037,-0.1mm/d. 不同的月份和地区,温度和降水的变化存在明显的差异.     

Optical thickness of atmospheric dust over Tadzhikistan

The aerosol dust optical thickness during a dust experiment in Tadzhikistan is derived from satellite measurements of reflected sunlight. The method estimates the surface reflectance on days with low optical thickness for the same ground area where dust occurs. In order to avoid changes in the surface bidirectional reflectance between the dusty and clear days, nearly identical geometry between the solar and view directions is obtained eight days before a dust storm. Lookup tables are utilized to obtain the surface reflectance on the clear day, and another set of lookup are tables is used to assign an optical depth to the dust. The optical depth lookup tables utilize Mie scattering for a representative size distribution and index of refraction for the dust aerosol. The observed similarity of size distributions and indices of refraction for dust aerosols at many locations over the earth justify this method. A map of the dust optical thickness is given.     

用紫外辐射反演气溶胶单次散射反照率的方法研究

利用紫外辐射监测资料,结合对流层紫外与可见光辐射传输模式,反演气溶胶单次散射反照率(SSA).敏感性试验和误差分析表明:紫外辐照度对SSA敏感;气溶胶光学厚度(AOD)对反演SSA的误差影响最大,波长指数次之,地表反照率和其他因素的影响较小.使用该方法计算的珠三角地区的气溶胶单次散射反照率为0.84~0.99,平均值为0.92,与以往研究相比具有较好的一致性.     

大气可降水量卫星遥感反演不确定性对太阳总辐射模拟的影响

辐射传输方程模拟法作为一种较为准确有效的太阳总辐射间接获得方法,其模拟精度受到代入方程的大气参数精度的影响。论文通过将香港2005—2013年卫星遥感反演的大气可降水量产品与地面站数据对比,以68.3%的置信水平分析了卫星遥感反演的大气可降水量的不确定性;并通过收集2005—2013年香港其他影响大气上界太阳辐射到达地表的大气参数,如气溶胶光学厚度、气溶胶单次散射反照率、臭氧含量综合模拟大气环境,确定了大气可降水量的不确定性在夏季和冬季对太阳总辐射模拟（250~2 800 nm）造成的相对误差。研究结果表明,受大气可降水量不确定性影响,使用辐射传输方程法模拟获得的太阳总辐射有1%~3%的相对误差。使用该方法冬季受大气可降水量不确定性影响程度比夏季大。决定相对误差大小的主要因素是波长,大气水汽吸收作用强的波长上,相对误差也大;其次因素是太阳天顶角,太阳天顶角越大,该方法模拟所得太阳总辐射相对误差越大。研究为大气可降水量参数不确定性影响下太阳总辐射模拟的误差评估提供了依据。     

Complex refractive index of atmospheric dust aerosols

This paper compares published data on the complex refractive index of atmospheric dust aerosols, for different geographical regions, with data obtained for dust aerosol samples collected during the joint U.S.S.R.—U.S. experiment in Tadzhikistan, 1989. The disadvantages of methods used for estimation of the imaginary part, æ, of the refractive index are discussed. There is a considerable range of values of æ for dust aerosols, which is crucial for optical characteristic simulation. The existing discrepancy in æ can be due to uncertainties in methods used as well as due to the specific chemical composition of dust aerosols from various geographic locations.

Atmospheric light absorption—A review

The atmosphere interacts both with incoming as well as outgoing light. Two main processes take place: light scattering and light absorption. Whereas light scattering redistributes any ligh energy in the atmosphere, light absorption converts the light energy to internal energy of the absorbing molecules and eventually transfers it to the surrounding gas as heat.Atmospheric gases absorb light in distinct spectral regions usually at more or less broad bands. Best known is the broad absorption of ozone in the far u.v., being essential for the existence of the biological macromolecules on Earth. Gases known as greenhouse gases, e.g. CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and water vapor absorb a wide range of infrared radiation, and thus are responsible for the greenhouse effects. Since the lifetime of these gases (except water vapor) is considerable, their distribution around the globe is fairly homogeneous.The atmospheric aerosol gives the major contribution to the atmospheric light absorption in the visible and near u.v. and near i.r. Graphitic (black) carbon, the main constituent of soot, is almost exclusively responsible for the light absorption of the particles. The light absorption by aerosols is continuous and covers the whole visible spectral range. It only depends slightly on wavelength.The optical properties of elemental carbon are determined by the size of the particles and their complex refractive index. A variety of refractive indices can be found in the literature for elemental carbon, most likely caused by different production and thus composition of the particles. Soot particles are very efficient in attenuating light; for the average size the particles have more than twice the mass extinction coefficient compared to transparent particles such as ammonium sulfate. The light absorption coefficient of a mixture of elemental carbon and transparent materials is higher for internal than for external mixtures. When incorporated into transparent particles, the absorption properties of elemental carbon can be multiplied and the single scattering albedo will decrease in comparison to an external mixture of the same materials.There are different methods to measure the light absorption coefficient of suspended particles. They can be separated in three groups, depending on the effect or methodology they use, but no standard procedure has been adopted so far.Soot is produced by all combusttion processes. Since most fires on Earth are due to humans, then indirectly humans are the major source of light-absorbing aerosol particles. On a global scale black carbon amounts to 1.1–2.5% of the anthropogenic particles and to 0.2–1% of the total emitted particles. The emission factors for elemental carbon are highest for small sources such as diesel motors or fireplaces.The light-absorbing aerosol consists of fine particles, with most particles having diameters less than a few tenths of a micrometer. Particles in the size range of soot particles have an average lifetime of 7 days in the atmosphere, therefore they can be transported over large distances and are also found in remote regions. Since light-absorbing particles have a variety of sources and sinks and they are involved in precipitation cycles, their distribution on the globe is inhomogeneous. Light-absorption coefficients of the atmospheric aerosol reported in the literature differ by more than four orders of magnitudes at different locations, but nevertheless black carbon particles have been found even at very remote areas, such as the South Pole.Although light-absorbing particles are a minority component in the atmospheric aerosol, their effects cannot be neglected: since the mass extinction coefficient of soot is higher by a factor of two to three compared to transparent particles, light-absorbing substances in the atmosphere can cause at some locations up to half of the visibility reduction; light-absorbing substances in the atmosphere can be responsible for the brown appearance of urban hazes and the discoloration of the sky.The light absorption of the atmosphere in the visible (which mainly is due to particulate matter) has to be taken into account when considering radiative properties and climatic consequences. A small temperature increase due to absorption in the visible is to be expected. The value is around a few tenths of a Kelvin, but no general statement on its magnitude is possible, since a large spatial and temporal variation exists and other factors like surface albedo, the optical depth of the aerosol, its incorporation in clouds and humidity growth of the aerosol have to be considered.

Automatic and continuous measurement of aerosol properties in Dunhuang, China

Ground-based simultaneous observations of sun direct and scattering radiation were carded out in Dunhuang for nearly 2 years.Aerosol optical depth, Angstrom wavelength exponent and size distribution were obtained from solar extinction and sky radiation. Water vapor content was obtained from sun direct radiation measurement at 940 nm. Relationship between aerosol properties and water vapor was discussed. Results showed that distinct seasonality of aerosol optical depth and Angstrom wavelength exponent was corresponding to seasonal variation of dust activity. Aerosol relative size distribution kept stable and volume concentration change was the reason resulting in variation of aerosol optical depth. Water vapor had minor effects on aerosol optical and physical properties.     

Evaluation of absorption properties of atmospheric aerosols at solar wavelengths based on chemical characterization

The imaginary part of the complex index of refraction of atmospheric aerosols was determined by calculation based on chemical characterization. Atmospheric aerosols in Sapporo were chemically characterized, and were estimated to be mainly composed of elemental C, organics, (NH₄)₂SO₄, NH₄NO₃, sea salt and soil particles. Using the complex index of refraction of each chemical species, the volume extinction and scattering coefficients of the particles composed of the chemical species were calculated, using Mie scattering theory. The single scattering albedo of the aerosols was obtained as the ratio of the total volume scattering coefficient to the total volume extinction coefficient. The imaginary part of the complex index of refraction of the aerosols was determined by matching the calculated sigle scattering albedo for the aggregate aerosol to that calculated from the sum of the individual aerosol components. The monthly mean imaginary part of the complex index of refraction of aerosols in Sapporo ranged from 0.024 in August to 0.047 in February in 1982.The atmospheric solar heating rate was calculated by solving the equation of radiative transfer in turbid atmospheres. It was estimated that the atmospheric boundary layer in Sapporo was heated at the rate of 2.0–2.5°C day⁻¹ in February as a result of absorption of visible solar radiation by aerosols.     

Direct radiative forcing of urban aerosols over Pretoria (25.75°S, 28.28°E) using AERONET Sunphotometer data: First scientific results and environmental impact

The present study uses the data collected from Cimel Sunphotometer of Aerosol Robotic Network（AERONET） for the period from January to December, 2012 over an urban site,Pretoria（PTR; 25.75°S, 28.28°E, 1449 m above sea level）, South Africa. We found that monthly mean aerosol optical depth（AOD, τa） exhibits two maxima that occurred in summer（February） and winter（August） having values of 0.36 ± 0.19 and 0.25 ± 0.14,respectively, high-to-moderate values in spring and thereafter, decreases from autumn with a minima in early winter（June） 0.12 ± 0.07. The Angstrom exponents（α440–870） likewise,have its peak in summer（January） 1.70 ± 0.21 and lowest in early winter（June） 1.38 ± 0.26,while the columnar water vapor（CWV） followed AOD pattern with high values（summer） at the beginning of the year（February, 2.10 ± 0.37 cm） and low values（winter） in the middle of the year（July, 0.66 ± 0.21 cm）. The volume size distribution（VSD） in the fine-mode is higher in the summer and spring seasons, whereas in the coarse mode the VSD is higher in the winter and lower in the summer due to the hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles.The single scattering albedo（SSA） ranged from 0.85 to 0.96 at 440 nm over PTR for the entire study period. The averaged aerosol radiative forcing（ARF） computed using SBDART model at the top of the atmosphere（TOA） was- 8.78 ± 3.1 W/m2, while at the surface it was- 25.69 ± 8.1 W/m2 leading to an atmospheric forcing of ＋ 16.91 ± 6.8 W/m2, indicating significant heating of the atmosphere with a mean of 0.47 K/day.
