N2O and O3 arctic column amounts from PARIS-IR observations: Retrievals, characterization and error analysis

Ground-based solar absorption infrared spectra were recorded in the Canadian Arctic during the early spring of 2004 using a moderate-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer, the Portable Atmospheric Research Interferometric Spectrometer for the Infrared (PARIS-IR). As part of the Canadian Arctic Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) validation campaign, the PARIS-IR instrument recorded solar absorption spectra of the atmosphere from February to March 2004 as the Sun returned to the Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Observatory (AStrO) near Eureka, Nunavut, Canada (80.05°N, 86.42°W). In this paper, we briefly outline the PARIS-IR instrument configuration and data acquisition in the high Arctic. We discuss the retrieval methodology, characterization and error analysis associated with total and partial column retrievals. We compare the PARIS-IR measurements of N₂O and O₃ column amounts with those from the Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) onboard the Canadian SCISAT-1 satellite and the ozonesonde data obtained at Eureka during the validation campaign.

基于多孔径闪烁的湍流强度廓线反演方法研究

以多孔径闪烁方法的理论为基础,分别讨论了孔径滤波函数和光谱响应函数对权重函数的影响.根据包括边界层项的Hufnagel-Valley 5/7模型得到的闪烁指数,采用奇异值分解法反演了垂直方向的湍流强度廓线,结果的量级介于10~(-15)~10~(-17)之间,并随高度的增加不断减小,在量级和趋势上与理论模型基本一致;同时结合Shack-Hartman的实际测量结果,反演了水平方向1 km传输路径上的湍流强度分布状况.水平方向反演结果的量级在10~(-14)~10~(-15)之间,随传播距离的变化趋势与实验场地的实际情况较为符合,随时间的变化趋势与合肥地区同期的统计结果基本一致.     

The Super-Kamiokande experiment

Super-Kamiokande has accumulated data on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos for 1117–1289 live days. We present updated results on the flavor ratio, the zenith angle distribution of atmospheric neutrinos and the zenith angle distribution of upward going muons. We also present results on the energy spectrum and the day–night variation of solar neutrinos. The data on atmospheric neutrinos show clear evidence of neutrino oscillation.     

Surface analysis of a cold leg section of an SS316-lithium loop

Compatibility studies of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 with liquid lithium for fusion application have shown that a porous ferritic layer is formed on the surface of the steel in the hot leg of a loop experiment due to depletion of alloying elements. The concentration profiles of the removed elements across the cross section of the tube reveal a pronounced step between the austenite matrix and the porous ferrite which is not expected in a normal diffusion process. The removed elements are partly deposited on the surface of the cold leg.In this study we looked at the boundary between the nickel rich deposit and the original matrix of a section of the cold (435 °C) leg. On the surface of the austenite, the expected grain boundary attack of lithium was observed. Additionally, to a depth of about one grain size, chromium and molybdenum were depleted and lithium seemed to also have attacked the bulk material, resulting in a splitting up into smaller grains with decomposed concentrations of the alloying elements, i.e. iron with large amounts of nickel and iron with chromium and small nickel amounts.In this paper a suggestion is put forward describing a reaction mechanism leading to the porous layer in the hot leg as a result of the instability of AISI 316 and its decomposition into two phases under the influence of liquid lithium.Dedicated to Professor Günther Tölg on the occasion of his 60th birthday

High-sensitivity microchip electrophoresis determination of inorganic anions and oxalate in atmospheric aerosols with adjustable selectivity and conductivity detection

A sensitive and selective separation of common anionic constituents of atmospheric aerosols, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, and oxalate, is presented using microchip electrophoresis. The optimized separation is achieved in under 1 min and at low background electrolyte ionic strength (2.9 mM) by combining a metal-binding electrolyte anion (17 mM picolinic acid), a sulfate-binding electrolyte cation (19 mM HEPBS), a zwitterionic surfactant with affinity towards weakly solvated anions (19 mM N-tetradecyl,N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propansulfonate), and operation in counter-electroosmotic flow (EOF) mode. The separation is performed at pH 4.7, permitting pH manipulation of oxalate's mobility. The majority of low-concentration organic acids are not observed at these conditions, allowing for rapid subsequent injections without the presence of interfering peaks. Because the mobilities of sulfate, nitrate, and oxalate are independently controlled, other minor constituents of aerosols can be analyzed, including nitrite, fluoride, and formate if desired using similar separation conditions. Contact conductivity detection is utilized, and the limit of detection for oxalate (S/N = 3) is 180 nM without stacking. Sensitivity can be increased with field-amplified sample stacking by injecting from dilute electrolyte with a detection limit of 19 nM achieved. The high-sensitivity, counter-EOF operation, and short analysis time make this separation well-suited to continuous online monitoring of aerosol composition.

Line narrowing effect on the retrieval of HF and HCl vertical profiles from ground-based FTIR measurements

Collision-induced line narrowing, which has been discovered in the 1950s and investigated thoroughly in the laboratory since then, has yet never been taken into account in the spectroscopic remote sensing of the atmosphere. This work investigates the effect of collision-induced line narrowing onto the retrieval of HCl and HF vertical profiles from ground-based solar absorption FTIR measurements made at the NDSC station of the Jungfraujoch (46.5^°N, 8^°E and 3580 m above see level). The retrievals are performed with the Atmosphit software, recently developed at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. It is presented in this paper for the first time and is validated against the widely used SFIT2 software. The impact of the line narrowing onto the retrieval of HCl and HF vertical profiles is examined relying on careful information content and error budget analyses. We report that the effect is relatively weak for HCl but significant for HF. Confirmation of the need to take the line narrowing into account for the retrieval of vertical profiles from ground-based FTIR spectra is given by comparison with data from the HALOE space borne instrument, rather insensitive to this spectroscopic effect.
