Raman Lidar Measurements of Aerosol and Cloud Optical Properties in the Troposphere

A Raman lidar has been developed with photon counting technique. Aerosol and cloud extinction coefficients are derived by nitrogen (N2) molecular Raman scatter returns in the troposphere. Both backscatter coefficients and extinction-backscatter-ratios of aerosol and cloud are presented by simultaneously combining N2 Raman and Mie-Rayleigh returns of aerosol and molecule. Ratios of extinction to backscatter between 20 sr and 70 sr are usually found for aerosol, but less than 15 sr for mid-high altitude cloud in the troposphere.

Vertical profile of aerosol extinction based on the measurement of O_4 of multi-elevation angles with MAX-DOAS

A method for aerosol extinction profile retrieval using ground-based multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy(MAX-DOAS) is studied, which is based on a look-up table algorithm. The algorithm uses parametric method to represent aerosol extinction profiles and simulate different atmospheric aerosol states through atmospheric radiation transfer model. Based on the method, aerosol extinction profile was obtained during six cloud-free days. The O_4 differential air mass factor(dAMF) measured by MAX-DOAS is compared with the corresponding model results under different atmospheric conditions(R~2= 0.78). The aerosol optical thickness, aerosol weight factor in boundary layer, and the height of the boundary layer are obtained after the process of minimization and look-up table method. The retrieved aerosol extinction in boundary layer is compared with PM2.5 data measured by ground point instrument. The diurnal variation trends of the two methods are in good agreement. The correlation coefficients of the two methods are 0.71 when the aerosol optical thickness is smaller than 0.5. The results show that the look-up table method can obtain the aerosol state of the troposphere and provide validation for other instrument data.     

Aerosol extinction coefficient profile retrieval in the oxygen A-band considering multiple scattering atmosphere. Test case: SCIAMACHY nadir simulated measurements

A multiple scattering inversion procedure for the aerosol extinction coefficient profile retrieval and error assessment in the oxygen A-band, for passive remote sensing instruments, has been developed. The procedure has been applied to SCIAMACHY nadir simulated measurements to investigate its effectiveness in the troposphere.The inversion procedure consists of a multiple scattering Forward Model, an inversion method and a complete sensitivity and error assessment tool. The Forward Model is based on LIDORT code; the inversion method, the sensitivity study and the complete error assessment are based on Optimal Estimation. The sensitivity and error analysis has been derived to investigate the profile retrieval errors due to the uncertainty of different aerosol optical properties, molecular and surface parameters.The analysis confirms that the profile retrieval accuracy and vertical resolution are strongly dependent on the oxygen A-band spectral resolution. The moderately high SCIAMACHY spectral resolution (0.4 nm in the oxygen A-band) results in distinguishing a maximum of three aerosol layers in troposphere. The SCIAMACHY tropospheric aerosol profile retrieval is shown to be highly sensitive to aerosol optical properties as phase function and single scattering albedo. The sensitivity study reveals an improvement of information content increasing the solar zenith angle and decreasing the surface albedo. As regards the forward model, negligible errors occur as the number of streams exceeds 6.     

Temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance

Although OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces is very efficient, it is thought to be negligible to affect the OH and O₃ balance in the lower troposphere. To estimate its contribution in the upper troposphere, we have studied the temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance over the temperature range from 218 to 298 K. We found that the OH uptake coefficient is weakly dependent of temperature, ranging from 0.1 to 1, as was measured under flow conditions using chemical ionization mass spectrometry. This finding was further used to estimate OH loss on carbonaceous aerosol under upper tropospheric conditions. Our calculations suggested that OH heterogeneous loss may represent a notable sink for OH in the upper troposphere, which is due to both the significantly lower diffusion limitation and weakly temperature-dependent OH uptake. The obtained results may be thus important for aerosol chemistry of the upper troposphere.

Measurements for profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient,backscatter coefficient,and lidar ratio over Wuhan in China with Raman/Mie lidar

<正>The profiles of aerosol extinction,backscatter coefficient,and lidar ratio in the lower troposphere over Wuhan are measured by a multi-channel Raman/Mie lidar.Using the lidar ratio retrieved by Raman scattering principle,the profiles of aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients are also retrieved by Mie scattering signals,without a prior assumption about their relation in the traditional pure Mie signals data analyses.The observations by both Raman and Mie are in good agreement with each other.The high coherence shows that the system is reliable,and the Mie and Raman channels are in good adjustment and have the same field of view.

Influence of the vertical profile of Saharan dust on the visible direct radiative forcing

The vertical profile of Saharan dust in the atmosphere is generally characterized by a large aerosol concentration in the mid troposphere, differently from the climatological distribution of other types of particles, that show a peak at the surface and a rapid decrease with height. Saharan dust is also characterized by particles of relatively large size of irregular shape, and variable values of the single scattering albedo (the ratio between radiation scattering and extinction). The dust's peculiar vertical distribution is expected to produce an effect on the calculation of the direct aerosol radiative forcing at the surface and at the top of the atmosphere. This effect is investigated by comparing estimates of aerosol direct visible radiative forcing at the surface and at the top of the atmosphere for dust vertical profiles measured in the Mediterranean, and for the climatological profile. The radiative forcing is estimated by means of an accurate radiative transfer model, and for the ocean surface. The sensitivity of the results on the solar zenith angle, aerosol optical depth, and aerosol absorption is also investigated. The aerosol radiative forcing at the surface shows a very small dependency on the aerosol vertical profile. At the top of the atmosphere, the radiative forcing is weakly dependent on the vertical profile (up to 10% variation on the daily average forcing) for low absorbing particles; conversely, it shows a strong dependency (the daily radiative forcing may vary up to 100%) for absorbing particles. The top of the atmosphere visible radiative forcing efficiency produced by dust having single scattering albedo <0.7 is higher by 4 W m⁻² when the observed vertical profile instead of the standard profile is used in the calculations (i.e. it produces a lower cooling). For values of the single scattering albedo around 0.67, the sign of the forcing depends on the vertical profile. The influence of the vertical distribution on the radiative forcing is largest at small values of the solar zenith angle, and at short wavelengths.

Extinction coefficients of surface atmospheric aerosol above LHAASO

We investigate the extinction coefficients of the surface atmospheric aerosol over the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory(LHAASO),located at the Haizi Mountain,Daocheng County,China.To this end,we utilize the Longtin model,Mie scattering theory,and experimental data obtained by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation(CALIPSO).Our theoretical calculations show that the total extinction coefficients of the atmospheric aerosol at the wavelength of 200-500 nm are inversely proportional to the laser wavelength,and influenced by the wind speed.From July 2015 to October 2016,the extinction coefficient of the surface atmospheric aerosols at 532 nm wavelength reached 0.04 km~(-1) with no wind,while it increased to 0.1 km~(-1) with gusts.In this period,the extinction coefficients of the surface atmospheric aerosol at 532 nm wavelength,obtained by the CALIPSO,change from 0.01 to 0.07 km~(-1),which is less than the values obtained the theoretical calculation and larger than the average of Tibetan Plateau in 2006-2016.These calculations and experimental evidence provide important arguments to the model of atmospheric aerosol to be applied in the calibration of LHAASO.Our results suggest that the extinction coefficients over LHAASO require further study,including research on the size distribution,shape,concentration of aerosols particles,wind dependence,relative humidity dependence,etc.     

基于双视场激光雷达的气溶胶水平分布观测

在自主研制的便携式双视场米散射气溶胶激光雷达（DFOV激光雷达）基础上,探索双视场激光雷达信号拼接思路,利用“斜率-Fernald”方法反演了气溶胶水平消光系数,进而获取了DFOV激光雷达对气溶胶水平消光系数的扫描分布。首先,对雷达回波信号分段运用斜率法,求解最优的气溶胶消光系数、后向散射系数以及相对应的参考距离,然后将该参考点处的后向散射系数代入“Fernald方法”的前后向积分解中,进而得到整条廓线的消光系数。该方法有效避免了“斜率法”中大气均匀的前提假设和消光系数负值的问题,也有效避免了“Fernald方法”对参考点的限制和要求。在获取水平消光系数后,通过拟合近地面空气质量监测点位过顶时刻DFOV激光雷达测量的气溶胶消光系数与PM₁₀质量浓度ρ(PM₁₀)之间的关系,相关性达到0.91。将此定量关系传递至激光雷达扫描的消光系数结果中,可得到气溶胶质量浓度的水平分布,定量反演大气中颗粒物的分布,用于研究近地面大气污染成因、机理和污染来源分析,为DFOV激光雷达进一步应用于城市区域大气污染定量评价和区域空气质量三维模式同化分析研究提供定量的数据支撑。     

一种无需定标的地基激光雷达气溶胶消光系数精确反演方法

如何对低云下雾霾的激光雷达探测数据进行准确定标,一直是米散射激光雷达数据反演中一个有待解决的问题.对于低云和雾霾同时出现的天气,激光很难穿透云层,不能利用大气清洁层对激光雷达信号定标.而对于探测高度小于6 km的便携式米散射激光雷达,由于探测高度较低,也很难利用大气清洁层对激光雷达数据进行定标.本文根据Fernald前向积分方程的特点,提出了一种气溶胶消光系数迭代算法.通过对反演过程进行特定设置,每经过一次迭代,利用气溶胶消光系数迭代算法得到的气溶胶消光系数反演值与其真实值之间的差值就会相应减小.经过几次迭代后,气溶胶消光系数反演值与真实值之间的差值就会小到可以忽略不计.初步反演结果表明:利用气溶胶消光系数迭代算法,无需对激光雷达探测数据定标就能精确反演出气溶胶消光系数廓线.
