Modeling radiative effects of haze on summer-time convective precipitation over North China: a case study

We modeled the impact of haze radiative effects on precipitation in North China. Shortwave heating induced by haze radiative effects would reduce heavy rainfalls. Convection was the key factor that whether precipitation was enhanced or suppressed. Precipitation was often suppressed where CAPE, RH and updraft velocities were high. The impact of haze radiative effect on summertime 24-h convective precipitation over North China was investigated using WRF model (version 3.3) through model sensitivity studies between scenarios with and without aerosol radiative effects. The haze radiative effect was represented by incorporating an idealized aerosol optical profile, with AOD values around 1, derived from the aircraft measurement into the WRF shortwave scheme. We found that the shortwave heating induced by aerosol radiative effects would significantly reduce heavy rainfalls, although its effect on the post-frontal localized thunderstorm precipitation was more diverse. To capture the key factors that determine whether precipitation is enhanced or suppressed, model grids with 24-h precipitation difference between the two scenarios exceeding certain threshold (>30 mm or<-30 mm) were separated into two sets. Analyses of key meteorological variables between the enhanced and suppressed regimes suggested that atmospheric convection was the most important factor that determined whether precipitation was enhanced or suppressed during summertime over North China. The convection was stronger over places with precipitation enhancement over 30 mm. Haze weakened the convection over places with precipitation suppression exceeding 30 mm and caused less water vapor to rise to a higher level and thus further suppressed precipitation. The suppression of precipitation was often accompanied with relatively high convective available potential energy (CAPE), relative humidity (RH) and updraft velocities.     

灰霾期间气溶胶的污染特征

从颗粒物的时空分布和浓度水平方面综述了灰霾期间气溶胶的污染特征,介绍了灰霾期间气溶胶中金属元素、水溶性离子、有机碳和元素碳的浓度特征,以及颗粒物与能见度的相关性研究进展。指出:灰霾天气多发生在冬季,且气溶胶中PM2.5占的比重大;气溶胶污染与地理环境、气候条件、经济发展水平等有密切关系;水溶性离子多集中在PM2.5中;能见度的下降与气溶胶特别是细颗粒物有很大关系。提出目前灰霾研究中主要存在3大问题:一是对灰霾期间气溶胶中含有的有机物类别及其对不同季节发生灰霾的贡献率仍需进一步研究;二是灰霾期间气溶胶中有机物的形成机理尚不明确;三是不同源排放的气溶胶对灰霾形成的贡献率有待探讨。建议系统地开展大气细颗粒物有害成分的鉴定、源排放颗粒物的物理化学特性、扩散过程中各种物质间的反应和转化等方面的研究,为大气污染防治法规的制定提供依据。     

Understanding unusually high levels of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in winter in Urban Jinan, China

Peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN), as a major secondary pollutant, has gained increasing worldwide attentions, but relevant studies in China are still quite limited. During winter of 2015 to summer of 2016, the ambient levels of PAN were measured continuously by an automatic gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector(GC–ECD) analyzer at an urban site in Jinan(China), with related parameters including concentrations of O3, NO, NO_2, PM_(2.5), HONO,the photolysis rate constant of NO_2 and meteorological factors observed concurrently. The mean and maximum values of PAN concentration were(1.89 ± 1.42) and 9.61 ppbv respectively in winter, and(2.54 ± 1.44) and 13.47 ppbv respectively in summer. Unusually high levels of PAN were observed during severe haze episodes in winter, and the formation mechanisms of them were emphatically discussed. Study showed that high levels of PAN in winter were mainly caused by local accumulation and strong photochemical reactions during haze episodes, while mass transport played only a minor role. Accelerated photochemical reactions(compared to winter days without haze) during haze episodes were deduced by the higher concentrations but shorter lifetimes of PAN, which was further supported by the sufficient solar radiation in the photolysis band along with the high concentrations of precursors(NO_2, VOCs) and HONO during haze episodes. In addition, significant PAN accumulation during calm weather of haze episodes was verified by meteorological data.     

宁夏养鸡场粪污和周边土壤中抗生素及抗生素抗性基因分布特征

畜禽粪便中的抗生素及其抗性基因（ARGs）具有潜在的生态风险.为揭示宁夏养鸡场鸡粪和养殖场周边土壤中抗生素和ARGs的分布特征,以宁夏12家不同规模蛋鸡养殖场中鸡粪、周边及施用鸡粪的土壤为研究对象,采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法和高通量荧光定量法进行调查研究.结果表明：①鸡粪中四环素类、氨基糖苷类和磺胺类是优势抗生素.不同养殖期鸡粪中抗生素种类和含量不同,育雏期抗生素种类较多和平均含量较高,初产期相反.②周边土壤中仅距离养鸡场20 m处检测到少量抗生素,养殖场对周边土壤中抗生素的分布影响较小;施用鸡粪的土壤中喹诺酮类抗生素含量明显增加.③鸡粪中共检测到ARGs亚型132~168种,主要是氨基糖苷类和四环素类ARGs.育成期ARGs数目最多,初产期最少;育雏期各类ARGs总丰度最高,终产期相反.所有养殖期鸡粪中共存ARGs有110种.④养鸡场周边及施用鸡粪的土壤中共检测到ARGs亚型23~105种,其中氨基糖苷类ARGs数目最多,其次是多药类.养殖场周边土壤中ARGs数目和相对丰度随距养殖场距离的增加而逐渐减少;施用鸡粪的土壤中ARGs数目和相对丰度都明显增高,但低于距离养殖场20 m的土壤.⑤鸡粪中β-内酰胺酶类、氨基糖苷类和大环内酯类-林肯酰胺类-链阳性菌素B类（MLSB） ARGs都存在水平移动风险;土壤中氯霉素类ARGs存在水平移动风险.鸡粪中ARGs与其对应抗生素含量间相关性不显著.⑥不同类型ARGs之间具有相关的共现性：鸡粪中氨基糖苷类ARGs相对丰度与β-内酰胺酶类和可移动元件（MGEs）、多药类与万古霉素类等均呈显著正相关;土壤中氨基糖苷类ARGs相对丰度与四环素类、万古霉素类、磺胺类和MLSB类、四环素类与MLSB类等呈极显著正相关.土壤中各类ARGs相对丰度间的共现性明显强于鸡粪.本研究可为养鸡场选址、蛋鸡规模化养殖抗生素种类及剂量的选择和鸡粪施用提供理论依据.     

云贵高原1961-2006年大气能见度和消光因素变化趋势及原因

根据云贵高原203个气象台站1961—2006年大气能见度、降水、相对湿度、风速和天气现象等观测资料,采用倾向率方法对能见度和大气消光系数的变化趋势进行了分析。还应用Mann-Kendall方法对19km能见度、霾日数和消光系数的多年变化进行了气候突变检验。结果表明,有84.2%台站出现了能见度减少趋势。减少最多为-11km·10a-1,最少为-1km·10a-1。减少的平均气候倾向率在1961—1979年为0.96km·10a-1,1980—2006年为1.6km·10a-1,高原平均能见度从60年代的约34km下降到目前的约27km。另一方面,有15.8%台站能见度有增加趋势,且多集中在人类活动较为稀少的高海拔山区。有71%的台站19km能见度频率出现减少的趋势,平均倾向率为-2%·10a-1,主要出现在高原东部和中部人口和工业稠密区。该地区同时也出现霾日增加的现象。Mann-Kendall检测结果表明,19km能见度频率减少和霾日数增加现象出现突变的时间相同。年平均消光系数发生突变的时间稍推后。认为能见度下降、消光因素增加的原因与人为排放污染物浓度增加有密切关系。
