南京地区大气灰霾的数值模拟

从环境角度出发,在化学成分分析的基础上,利用灰疆与能见度的关系,数值模拟了南京地区能见度分布及灰霾天气现象.研究表明:冬夏两季SO2-4/NO-3质量比为5.39;风速、相对湿度、PM2.5浓度是灰霾天气形成的主要影响因素;能见度模拟结果很好地体现了细粒子成分的污染分布特征,在南京地区,硫酸盐和有机气溶胶是能见度下降最重要的贡献者,其次为黑碳气溶胶.

Two methods to define and compute visual buffer strips in a forested environment

Several approaches can be used to define and construct visual buffer strips around proposed new facility sites in a forested environment. A visual buffer strip of a given value, defines a region around an object within which the probability of an unblocked view of all or portions of it by an observer are less than the buffer strip probability value. Two primary approaches are used to define visual buffer strips that take into account the size of the vegetative elements and their individual effects on visibility. Several variations and combinations of the approaches are possible. One approach defines a visual buffer strip based on the average probability of a clear view of points along the object by an observer; the other approach is based on the visibility of the feature as a whole. The computation and construction of visual buffer strips based on these two concepts are presented. Comparisons of the two approaches for specific feature shapes are also described.

北京市轻型汽车尾气排放检测结果分析

对北京市566辆在用轻型车排放尾气进行了BASM检测，对不同厂牌的化油器车、化油器改造车和电喷车排放的HC、CO和NO平均浓度进行了比较，结果表明，化油器改造车3种污染物平均浓度比化油器车低50％左右，电喷车3种污染物平均浓度可比化油器车低80％左右。同时对几种车型的劣化规律进行了分析，发现化油器车的劣化关系离散性大，而另外两种技术的车辆的劣化关系呈收敛性，说明化油器车的污染物排放和保养关系密切，电喷车劣化规律明显优于化油器车和化油器改造车。实验结果为I／M实施提供了科学依据。     

High beam headlamp use rates: Effects of rurality,proximity of other traffic,and roadway curvature

Objective: The few observational studies of the prevalence of high beam use indicate the rate of high beam use is about 25% when vehicles are isolated from other vehicles on unlit roads. Recent studies were limited to 2-lane rural roads and used measurement methods that likely overestimated use. The current study examined factors associated with the rate of high beam use of isolated vehicles on a variety of roadways in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area.

Methods: Twenty observation sites were categorized as urban, rural, or on a rural/urban boundary and selected to estimate the effects of street lighting, road curvature, and direction of travel relative to the city on high beam use. Sites were selected in pairs so that a majority of traffic passing one site also passed through the other. Measurement of high beams relied on video data recorded for 2 nights at each site, and the video data also were used to derive a precise measure of the proximity of other traffic. Nearly 3,200 isolated vehicles (10 s or longer from other vehicles) were observed, representing 1,500-plus vehicle pairs.

Results: Across the sample, 18% of the vehicles used high beams. Seventy-three percent of the 1,500-plus vehicle pairs used low beams at each paired site, whereas 9% used high beams at both sites. Vehicles at rural sites and sites at the boundaries of Ann Arbor were more likely to use high beams than vehicles at urban sites, but use in rural areas compared with rural/urban boundary areas did not vary significantly. Rates at all sites were much lower than expected, ranging from 0.9 to 52.9%. High beam use generally increased with greater time between subject vehicles and leading vehicles and vehicles in the opposing lane. There were mixed findings associated with street lighting, road curvature, and direction of travel relative to the city.

Conclusion: Maximizing visibility available to drivers from headlights includes addressing the substantial underuse of high beam headlamps. Advanced technologies such as high beam assist, which switches automatically between high and low beam headlamps depending on the presence of other traffic, can help to address this problem.     

考虑不同场景的砖木结构古建筑火灾特征研究

为探明砖木结构古建筑火场下的特征,定量分析不同火灾场景下,建筑内部温度、烟气浓度等参数的变化。选取中国北方典型的砖木结构体系的四合院韩城党家村贾祖祠为研究对象,采用PyroSim建模分析,研究不同火灾场景下不同时间点的温度、CO浓度、能见度等变化。研究结果表明:贾祖祠主厢房较封闭,火灾中火源周围温度峰值可达750 ℃,CO质量浓度达到0.003 kg/m3,能见度几乎为0 m,风速最高为10 m/s且极不稳定;四合院中主厢房空间布局高,火灾中这些参数的影响会导致严重的轰燃现象发生,故此处发生火灾更易产生严重危害。对不同场景的砖木结构古建筑重要火灾因素发展规律的研究,能为古建筑的性能化防火提供科学参考依据。     

西安咸阳高速公路大气能见度变化特征及影响因子分析

利用西安咸阳高速公路交通气象自动观测站网2013年8月—2015年4月共21个月的交通气象实时观测资料,对西安咸阳高速路段大气能见度变化特征及其主要气象影响因子进行了分析。结果表明:汉城收费站、渭河大桥北站能见度的月际变化均呈双峰双谷型分布;机场收费站能见度呈多峰型波动变化。3站能见度平均值按照逐渐靠近机场的顺序依次下降。对3站而言,14:00时大气能见度最好;能见度最低值出现的时刻因站而异。对3站而言,能见度与气温均呈明显的U型二次多项式相关;与相对湿度呈多项式型负相关;与风速之间存在一定的多项式相关性,但相关性较弱。受到机场较强的人为交通源排放影响,随着与西安咸阳国际机场距离的缩短,3站能见度与气温、相对湿度及风速之间的相关性依次递减。     

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.
