北京地区不同时段平均PM2.5浓度与MODIS气溶胶光学厚度相关性分析

利用2014年北京市12个空气质量监测站的逐小时PM_(2.5)地面观测资料,以及Terra和Aqua卫星的MODIS气溶胶光学厚度(AOD)产品,在时间和空间数据匹配的基础上,研究了PM_(2.5)的5 h(10:00—14:00)和24 h(0:00—23:00)两种时段平均浓度及两颗卫星平均AOD的时空分布特征,并建立了AOD与不同时段平均PM_(2.5)浓度之间的回归模型.结果表明:PM_(2.5)的5 h平均浓度和24 h平均浓度值均在城区高、郊区低,最低值位于定陵站;匹配后逐时PM_(2.5)浓度的日变化呈"双峰型",最低值出现在下午,但北京西北部郊区的定陵和昌平镇站因局地山谷风环流和外部排放源的影响,其"双峰型"波动趋势较城区站偏弱,最低值出现在上午;AOD的空间分布特征与PM_(2.5)浓度分布一致,但在郊区由于污染水平分布不均,卫星采集的样本可能来自于周围的清洁大气,导致AOD的最小值在郊区站点明显低于城区站点;两颗卫星平均的AOD与5h PM_(2.5)平均浓度的决定系数高于AOD与24 h PM_(2.5)平均浓度的决定系数;AOD与PM_(2.5)的相关系数在城区高于郊区,郊区排放源分布不均和强的局地系统性环流是造成其相关系数低的重要原因.     

乌鲁木齐市MODIS气溶胶光学厚度与PM10浓度关系模型研究

为了建立乌鲁木齐市近地面PM10浓度监测的关系模型,利用乌鲁木齐市2013年3—11月、2014年3—11月MODIS AOD产品与同期地面观测的PM10质量浓度进行相关分析,结果表明二者直接相关程度较低(r=0.433,p0.01);然后以WRF模式模拟的大气边界层高度及地面观测的相对湿度数据对AOD进行垂直、湿度订正后,二者相关性得到较大程度提高(r=0.630,p0.01);按照季节分类统计和订正春、夏、秋季的相关系数r分别为0.779、0.393、0.523,均大于统计学上99%的置信度要求,其中春季的订正最为有效,可用性更高;最后,建立全年和各季AOD-PM10最优拟合模型并反演乌鲁木齐市地面PM10质量浓度,全年和三季的反演结果与实测数据的相关系数分别为0.757、0.748、0.652、0.715(p0.01);同时基于卫星遥感AOD反演得到的PM10质量浓度的空间分布与AOD呈现出整体的一致性,并且3个季节AOD平均值表现为:春季秋季夏季.证实了卫星遥感AOD经过垂直和湿度订正后,可以作为辅助监测乌鲁木齐市PM10地面浓度分布的一个有效手段.     

Summary of efficacy evaluations using aerially applied Gypchek® against gypsy moth in the U.S.A.

Abstract

Gypchek^®, the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) nucleopolyhedrosis virus product, is manufactured by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service under controlled conditions in a laboratory strain of gypsy moth larvae. Gypchek was registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1978 as a general use pesticide to control gypsy moth. This product has been the subject of intense research and development targeted toward maximizing efficacy while minimizing the cost of production and application. The current Gypchek tank mix is applied at 1.25 × 10¹²occlusion bodies (OB's) per hectare for each of two applications (3‐days apart) at 18.7 litres/ha per application.

OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW ZEALAND RIVERS IN RELATION TO FLOW1

ABSTRACT: Six years (1989–1994) of data from New Zealand's National Rivers Water Quality Network were used to characterize the optical water quality regime of river waters as regards: visual clarity (black disc visibility), turbidity, and light-absorbing aquatic humic material (referred to as ‘yellow substance,’ measured as light absorption at 440 nm). Quantitative relationships between optical water quality variables and flow in rivers are well-described by power law expressions. Visual clarity usually decreases strongly with increasing flow in individual rivers. There is a strong, inverse relationship between turbidity and visibility, but, because of differences between sites, turbidity is not a good general predictor of visual clarity (the attribute of real interest) in rivers. Yellow substance tends to increase with increasing flow, probably because during rainstorms, soil water high in yellow-colored humic material, rather than rain water or ground water, dominates discharge. Therefore, rivers are typically clear and low in humic matter at low flow, and turbid and yellow-colored at high flow.     

湖南大义山花岗岩南体黑云母40Ar-39Ar定年及地质意义

大义山岩体是一个多时代形成的复式岩体,习惯有大义山南体和北体之分.岩体内外接触带产有较多的W、Sn、Cu、Pb、Zn等多金属矿产.长期以来对南体主体形成的时代归属存在较大的差异,一部分人认为是印支期的产物,另一部人认为是燕山期的产物,这种结果对该区成矿作用的研究和指导找矿都带来很大的不利.本次研究通过对岩体的解体以及精确的黑云母氩氩法定年,确切地将大义山南体归属于两个不同的时代,即南体的北部为中侏罗世,南部为晚三叠世.这一成果对该岩体和成矿作用的研究都具有重要的现实意义.

Historical pollution trends in coastal environments of India

Seventeen sediment cores were collected from different coastalecosystems of Tamil Nadu, India that include coastal lagoon (Pulicat), polluted rivers in Chennai (Adyar and Cooum), Coral reef (Gulf of Mannar) and a perennial river (Tamiraparani).Radiometric dating has been used to determine the modern sedimentation rates in these ecosystems. The Pulicat Lake and thepolluted rivers (Adyar and Cooum) yield an average sediment accumulation rate of 12.34 and 7.85 mm yr^-1, respectively. Inthe Gulf of Mannar coral reef, the sedimentation rate averages 17.37 mm yr^-1, while the rate in Tamiraparani River is 11.00 mm yr^-1. In the Tamiraparani River basin, the deposition rates were an order of magnitude higher when compared to the erosion rates, which may be due to bank erosion and the intense human activity. In general high rates of sedimentation observed in the coastal ecosystems not only reflect the capacity of the coastal regions as sinks for trace metals but also denoteincreased input of pollutants into the coastal environments in the recent past. The deposition rates of heavy metals – Fe, Mn,Zn, Cu, Cr and Ni in the depth profiles have been computed using sedimentation rates and their distribution is discussed. It can be seen that the mean deposition rates of all the measured elements in the Tamil Nadu coastal ecosystems are high compared with rates determined for the sediments of the deltaic regions ofIndia and the Bay of Bengal.     

Retrieval And Monitoring of Atmospheric Trace Gas Concentrations in Nadir and Limb Geometry Using the Space-Borne Sciamachy Instrument

The Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) onboard the European Envisat spacecraft performs continuous spectral observations of reflected, scattered and transmitted sunlight in various observation geometries. A unique feature of SCIAMACHY is the capability of probing the atmosphere in three different observation geometries:The nadir, limb, and occultation measurement modes. In nadir mode, column densities of trace gases are retrieved with a spatial resolution of typically 30× 60 km using the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) technique (Platt and Perner, 1983). Alternating with the nadir measurement, vertical profiles of absorber concentration in the stratosphere are derived in limb and occultation. In this paper we present an overview over some applications of SCIAMACHY data in space-based monitoring of atmospheric pollution. The DOAS algorithms for the retrieval of total column amounts from nadir spectra are briefly described and case studies of pollution events are presented. We also illustrate the technique used to derive stratospheric concentration profiles from limb observations and show comparisons with other remote sensing systems. Special emphasis will be given to techniques, which take advantage of SCIAMACHY's different viewing geometries. In particular, we will discuss the potential and limits of strategies to infer tropospheric abundances of O₃and NO₂.     

Assessment of indoor radiation level in the environs of the uranium deposit area of West Khasi Hills District,Meghalaya, India

An estimation of the indoor background radiation dose distribution was carried out in dwellings of eleven villages located within and around the uranium mineralization area of Kylleng-Pyndensohiong, Mawthabah in West Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya, India. The ambient indoor gamma radiation level was monitored using Thermo Luminescence Dosimeters (TLDs) while the indoor radon and thoron concentration was measured using twin-cup dosimeters employing Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs). Results obtained from the study reveals that the local inhabitants of villages located close to the mining site receive higher doses than those inhabitants of villages located at a much farther distance from the mining site. The average total annual effective dose was found to be varying from 1.2 mSv y⁻¹ in the village of Langpa to 3.4 mSv y⁻¹ in the village of Nongbah Jynrin. The data obtained will serve as a reference in documenting changes to environmental radioactivity if mining is to be carried out in the future.
