Comparisons of Measured and Modelled Ozone Deposition to Forests in Northern Europe

The performance of a new dry deposition module, developedfor the European-scale mapping and modelling of ozone flux to vegetation, was tested against micrometeorological ozone and water vapour flux measurements. The measurement data are for twoconiferous (Scots pine in Finland, Norway spruce in Denmark) and one deciduous forest (mountain birch in Finland). On average, themodel performs well for the Scots pine forest, if local inputdata are used. The daytime deposition rates are somewhat over-predicted at the Danish site, especially in the afternoon. The mountain birch data indicate that the generic parameterisationof stomatal responses is not very representative of this northernspecies. The module was also tested by using modelled meteorological data that constitute the input for a photochemical transport model.     

中国生态环境的新特点及其对策

在分析我国生态环境现状的基础上 ,提出了生态环境发展的 3个新特点 :①由单纯的工业污染过渡到工业和大众消费形成的污染并存阶段 ,而且乡镇企业污染问题越来越突出 ;②水体污染由工业污染发展到工业污染加农业污染的复合污染 ;③生态恶化问题正在由局部扩展到更大范围 ,从流域的一部分扩到全流域 .针对目前生态环境目前出现的新特点 ,在对策上提出了应实现 3个方面的转变 :①在环境污染控制上 ,应从末端治理发展到清洁生产 ;②在生态保护上 ,应从生态赤字到生态建设 ;③在污染治理上 ,从“谁污染、谁治理”转变到“谁污染、谁付费”、“谁治理、谁收益”.     

Nature of Atmospheric Aerosols over the Desert Areas in the Asian Continent: Chemical State and Number Concentration of Particles Measured at Dunhuang,China

Measurements of aerosol were made in August and October 2001, and January 2002, at Dunhuang, China (40°00N, 94°30E), to understand the nature of atmosphericparticles over the desert areas in the Asian continent. Balloon-borne measurements with an optical particle counter suggested that particle size and concentration had a noticeable peak in size range of super micron in not only the boundary mixing layer but also the free troposphere. Thickness of the boundary mixing layer, from distributions of particle concentration, was about 4 km in summer (17 August 2001), about2.5 km in fall (17 October 2001), and about 3 km in winter (11 January 2002), which suggest active mixing of particles near the boundary in summer. Number-size distribution of particleshowed a noticeable peak in the super micron particles size range inthe mixing boundary layer: 0.4–2 particles cm^-3 at diameter>1.2 m in summer, 0.05–4 particles cm^-3 at diameter >1.2 m in fall, and 0.1–5 particles cm^-3 at diameter>1.2 m in winter. In winter strong inversion of atmospherictemperature was found in the height range from the boundary to about 3 km and vertical distribution of particle concentration well corresponded with the temperature distribution. Chemical elements of individual aerosols, which were collectedin the boundary layer atmosphere at Dunhuang (18 October 2001) were analyzed with an electron microscope equipped with EDX. Thosesingle particle analysis suggested that most of the particles with supermicron size were soil particles, and those particles had littlesulfate on its surface. This is a very important different point,comparing with the chemical state of soil particles, which weretransported from the desert area of China to Japan, and showed frequentlythe existence of sulfate on the particle surface. Therefore, it isstrongly suggested that dust particles can be chemically modifiedduring their long-range transport from desert areas to Japan.     

AN AUTOMATED RECORDING SYSTEM FOR EVAPORATION PANS1

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: An automated recording system for evaporation pans was developed to allow continuous analog type recording of pan evaporation. The system incorporates a water reservoir to supply water to the pan and can be left unattended for long periods of time. The system performed well, with very little maintenance, in a field test in northern Utah.     

移动监测法测量厦门春秋季近地面CO2的时空分布

移动监测对研究城市近地面空气污染物时空分布特征具有重要意义.本研究采用野外移动监测车,利用二氧化碳测量仪、粉尘仪及小型气象站,在春秋季共选取14 d,沿厦门不同功能区,在每天不同时间段(09:00~12:00、13:00~16:00、22:00~01:00)进行了CO2与颗粒物(PM)浓度及气象参数的监测,并分析了春秋季不同时段下各功能区近地面CO2空间分布特征以及CO2与颗粒物的相互关系.结果表明:①监测期间,路线从北部的坂头水库背景区经郊区进入市中心最终在城市南部边缘沿海干道结束,CO2浓度的空间分布呈现中间市中心高沿市中心向两边边缘处降低的结构,不同功能区CO2空间分布存在差异,受城市交通,工业,人类活动等排放,地面植物/作物以及气象条件的影响.主要表现为交通繁忙区(仙岳路/厦禾路/嘉禾路,477.33μmol·mol-1±6.11μmol·mol-1)高于商业居民区(杏林/思北,454.95μmol·mol-1±5.45μmol·mol-1)高于自然风景区(文屏/环岛路/演武路,441.01μmol·mol-1±6.24μmol·mol-1)高于耕地(农田,436.79μmol·mol-1±1.87μmol·mol-1)高于山体林地(坂头水库,434.06μmol·mol-1±0.31μmol·mol-1);②监测期间春季平均CO2浓度为452.04μmol·mol-1±20.24μmol·mol-1,最大值出现在2013年4月12日的嘉禾路路段(市内交通繁忙区)为533.10μmol·mol-1,最小值出现在2013年4月10日的坂头水库路段(远离市区,受人为活动影响较小,水库周围有大量植被,可认为监测过程中的背景区域)为413.25μmol·mol-1.秋季平均CO2浓度为451.80μmol·mol-1±21.56μmol·mol-1,其中最大值出现在2012年11月19日的厦禾路路段(市内交通繁忙区)为526.45μmol·mol-1,最小值出现在2012年11月20日的坂头水库路段为415.01μmol·mol-1.这符合Idso等在1998年提出"城市CO2岛"的现象;③不同时间段CO2浓度表现出夜晚时段(22:00~01:00)高于上午时段(09:00~12:00)高于下午时段(13:00~16:00),阴天普遍高于晴天,且不同功能区CO2浓度在夜晚时段(22:00~01:00)和白天时段(09:00~12:00和13:00~16:00)的差异不同,春季的差异范围为-0.66~29.48μmol·mol-1,秋季的差异范围为-4.01~33.69μmol·mol-1;④市区CO2浓度与周围郊区存在差异,市区CO2浓度均高于郊区;⑤移动监测主要受道路车辆排放的影响,CO2浓度与PM2.5呈显著正相关关系(R=0.73,P<0.01).
