航空偏振遥感数据反演陆地上空气溶胶光学厚度

在陆地上空气溶胶遥感中,地表多样性会导致地表反射率计算误差增加,降低地气解耦精度,进而影响气溶胶反演精度。多角度、多光谱和偏振观测数据的引入有利于解决地气解耦精度和气溶胶参数的提取精度受限的问题。基于多角度偏振辐射计(AMPR)航空多光谱遥感数据,结合气溶胶散射和地表偏振反射规律,提出了在1 640 nm波段对AMPR观测偏振反射率进行连续大气辐射校正,实现地气解耦的方法。在此基础上,构建了陆地上空气溶胶偏振反演算法。运算过程中使用665和865 nm波段观测数据进行气溶胶参数提取,使用1 640 nm波段观测数据结合提取的气溶胶参数进行大气偏振辐射校正,重新获取地表偏振反射率。在反演过程中引入迭代,逐步逼近大气与地表真实辐射值,实现地气解耦,并利用查找表的方法实现气溶胶光学厚度反演。通过AMPR在京津唐地区5个架次的航空观测实验数据对反演算法进行了验证,结果与地基CE318观测数据一致性较好,在气溶胶光学厚度小于0.5的情况下,反演平均误差为约0.03。     

Atmospheric temperature dependence of the aerosol backscattering coefficient

In extracting vertical profiles of aerosol backscattering coefficient from lidar signals, the effects of atmospheric temperature are usually ignored. In this study, these effects are analyzed using a rotational Raman–Mie lidar system, which is capable of simultaneously measuring atmospheric temperature and vertical profiles of aerosols. A method is presented to correct the aerosol backscattering coefficient using atmospheric temperature profiles, obtained from Raman scattering signals. The differences in the extracted aerosol backscattering coefficient with and without considering temperature effects are further discussed. The backscattering coefficients for scattering off clouds are shown to be more sensitive to temperature than that of aerosols and atmosphere molecules; the aerosol backscattering coefficient is more sensitive to temperature in summer due to higher atmospheric temperatures.     

深圳城市气溶胶物理光学特性的观测研究

气溶胶是影响气候变化和空气污染的重要因子.在深圳地区展开气溶胶观测实验,可以获得可靠的光学物理特征,进而有助于准确评估气溶胶在新型超极城市区域的气像和环境效应.本文利用2010年12月至2011年8月太阳光度计、黑碳和浊度计等气溶胶观测资料,分析了新型超级城市深圳地区的气溶胶物理光学特性.深圳地区气溶胶呈明显季节变化,冬、春季由于城市污染性气溶胶的影响,气溶胶光学厚度和Angstrom波长指数都较大,夏季受海盐气溶胶的影响,光学厚度较小,Angstrom波长指数也较小.光学厚度与Angstrom 波长指数对比表明城市综合性污染是引起深圳气溶胶高光学厚度的主要原因.深圳地区气溶胶的散射系数、吸收系数的平均值(标准偏差)分别为178.7×10^-6 m^-1(126.6×10^-6 m^-1)和32.5×10^-6 m^-1(18.1×10^-6 m^-1),均低于珠三角腹地多年观测平均值的二分之一和国内其他大型城市观测值.而单次散射反照率为0.81,与珠三角其他地区得到的结果接近.此外,气溶胶吸收、散射和单次散射反照率呈明显日变化,可能主要受大气边界层变化的影响.     

基于多轴差分光学吸收光谱探测的北京春季气溶胶垂直廓线

气溶胶垂直廓线是评估污染物来源、输送等途径的必要手段。气溶胶污染对环境和人体健康带来直接的影响。该研究于2019年4-5月,利用中国科学院大气物理研究所（39.98°N,116.39°E）的地基多轴差分光学吸收光谱（MAX-DOAS）仪,对北京地区春季大气光谱垂直廓线进行了观测。凭借MAX-DOAS实时、在线、连续的观测优势,能有效的对气溶胶进行监测。MAX-DOAS基于最优估算法（OEM）以及最小二乘光谱拟合法,并以辐射传输模型SCIATRAN作为前向模型,利用海德堡廓线（HEIPRO）算法反演得到气溶胶消光系数的垂直廓线,通过对气溶胶消光系数在其路径的积分获得气溶胶光学厚度（AOD）。利用地基太阳光度计观测的AOD和高塔观测的颗粒物质量浓度垂直廓线,分别与MAX-DOAS观测的AOD和气溶胶消光系数垂直廓线进行对比,验证MAX-DOAS算法的适用性。研究结果表明,MAX-DOAS与太阳光度计观测AOD结果,相关系数为0.92,斜率为0.89。三层气溶胶消光系数与PM_2.5质量浓度的皮尔森相关系数从低处到高处分别达到0.69（60 m）,0.77（160 m）和0.75（280 m）。并且,将气溶胶平均消光系数和对应三层（60,160和280 m）的PM_2.5平均质量浓度对比,发现两者趋势一致。同样的,为了验证MAX-DOAS是否具备准确识别污染物的长距离输送的能力,我们通过Angstrom指数确定沙尘天气,通过计算梯度理查森数和边界层高度确定静稳天气,分析了在特殊天气条件下,MAX-DOAS能够对沙尘和静稳天气做出及时、准确的响应。分析气溶胶平均消光系数,发现气溶胶垂直廓线随高度升高呈现指数衰减变化的趋势,并且气溶胶消光系数均值在1.5 km高度处约为近地面的50%左右,而在1.5 km以上消光系数会随着高度的增加而快速减小。当高度达到2 km左右时,气溶胶消光系数均值下降到了0.1 km-1。以上结果表明MAX-DOAS探测大气气溶胶垂直廓线具有较高的适用性。

A novel approach for enhancing metal ion separation using acoustic nebulisation

A novel technique for anionic surfactant assisted separation and preconcentration of metal cations was developed using ultrasound induced nebulization at MHz frequency. The ions of copper, zinc, cadmium, and calcium were used as model analytes. Analysis of the aerosol using flame atomic absorption spectrometry showed enrichment factors for the metal ions studied between 5 and 8, when dilute solutions containing sodium dodecylsulfate and the metal ions were nebulized. The mechanism of metal ion enrichment was explained based on surfactant adsorption and the droplet model for aerosol droplets. It was demonstrated that further increase in the enrichment factor could be achieved by increasing the ultrasound frequency, thus producing smaller droplets.     

Lanthanides determination in red wine using ultrasound assisted extraction,flow injection,aerosol desolvation and ICP-MS

This paper deals with the determination of the fourteen naturally occurring elements of the lanthanide series in red wine. Ultrasound (US) was used for sample preparation prior lanthanides determination using ICP-MS. Flow injection (FI) and pneumatic nebulization/aerosol desolvation were used for nebulization of aliquots of 50 μL of sample and its subsequent transportation to plasma. Sample preparation procedures, matrix interference and time of sonication were evaluated. Better results for lanthanides in red wine were obtained by sonication with US probe for 90 s and sample 10-fold diluted. The limits of detection of La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Pr, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu and Yb were 6.57, 10.8, 9.97, 9.38, 2.71, 1.29, 1.22, 0.52, 2.35, 0.96, 2.30, 0.45, 0.24 and 1.35 ng L⁻¹, respectively. Red wines of different varieties from three countries of South America were discriminated according to the country of origin by means of multivariate analysis of lanthanides concentration.     

The use of multi-channel silicone rubber traps as denuders for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, which may be present both in the gaseous phase and adsorbed onto the surface of particles. Denuders are sampling devices which have been effectively employed in such partitioning applications. Here we describe and characterise a novel miniature denuder consisting of two multi-channel silicone rubber traps (each 178 mm long, 6 mm o.d. containing 22 silicone tubes), separated by a quartz fibre filter for particle phase collection. The denuder only requires a small portable personal sampling pump to provide sampling flow rates of ∼0.5 L min⁻¹. Theoretical considerations indicated that the air flow through the denuder was expected to be laminar, and the linear velocity arising from longitudinal diffusion was found to be negligible. The calculated particle transmission efficiency through the denuder was found to be essentially 100% for particles > 50 nm, whilst the experimental overall efficiency, as determined by CPC and SMPS measurements, was 92 ± 4%. The size resolved transmission efficiency was <60% for particles below 20 nm and 100% for particles larger than 200 nm. Losses could have been due to diffusion and electrostatic effects. Semi-volatile gaseous analytes are pre-concentrated in the silicone of the trap and may be thermally desorbed using a commercially available desorber, allowing for total transfer and detection of the collected analytes by GC–MS. This enhances detection limits and allows for lower sampling flow rates and shorter sampling times, which are advantageous for studies requiring high temporal resolution.     

Online characterization of regulated and unregulated gaseous and particulate exhaust emissions from two-stroke mopeds: A chemometric approach

Two-stroke mopeds are a popular and convenient mean of transport in particular in the highly populated cities. These vehicles can emit potentially toxic gaseous and aerosol pollutants due to their engine technology. The legislative measurements of moped emissions are based on offline methods; however, the online characterization of gas and particulate phases offers great possibilities to understand aerosol formation mechanism and to adapt future emission standards. The purpose of this work was to study the emission behavior of two mopeds complying with different European emission standards (EURO-1 and EURO-2). A sophisticated set of online analyzers was applied to simultaneously monitor the gas phase and particulate phase of exhaust on a real time basis. The gaseous emission was analyzed with a high resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR; nitrogen species) and a resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (REMPI-ToF-MS; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: PAH), whereas the particulate phase was chemically characterized by a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS; organic, nitrate and chloride aerosol) and a multiangle absorption photometer (MAAP; black carbon). The physical characterization of the aerosol was carried out with a condensation particle counter (CPC; particle number concentration) and a fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS; size distribution in real time). In order to extract underlying correlation between gas and solid emissions, principal component analysis was applied to the comprehensive online dataset. Multivariate analysis highlighted the considerable effect of the exhaust temperature on the particles and heavy PAH emissions. The results showed that the after-treatment used to comply with the latest EURO-2 emission standard may be responsible for the production of more potentially harmful particles compared to the EURO-1 moped emissions.     

Hygroscopic growth of aerosol scattering coefficient:A comparative analysis between urban and suburban sites at winter in Beijing

A humidity controlled inlet system was developed to measure the hygroscopic growth of aerosol scattering coefficient in conjunction with nephelometry at an urban site of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS) in Beijing and a rural site at Shangdianzi Regional Background Air Pollution Monitoring Station (SDZ) outside Beijing during winter, from December 2005 to January 2006. Measurements were carried out at a wavelength of 525 nm with an Ecotech M9003 nephelometer. The hygroscopic growth function (or factor) of the aerosol scattering coefficientf(RH) increased continuously with increasing relative humidity (RH) and showed no obvious "step-like" deliquescent behavior at both sites during the experiment. The average growth factorf(RH) at the SDZ site could reach 1.5 when RH increased from less than 40% to 92%, and to 2.1 at the CAMS site when RH increased from less than 40% to 93%. The average hygroscopic growth factor at a relative humidity of 80%, f(RH=80±1%), was found to be about 1.26±0.15 at CAMS and 1.24±0.11 at SDZ. Further analysis indicated that under relatively polluted conditions, the average hygroscopic growth factor was higher at the CAMS site than that at the SDZ site. However, under relatively clean air conditions, the difference between the two sites was small, showing a hygroscopic growth behavior similar to those of burning biomass or blowing dust. These results reflected the different characteristics of aerosol types at the two sites.
