长江三角洲地区高空云过程气溶胶—云相互作用的观测研究

In situ Study on Aerosol–Cloud Interactions in Upper Cloud Processes over the Yangtze River Delta

  • 摘要: 气溶胶—云相互作用过程对于评估大气云和气溶胶的寿命及气候效应至关重要。目前关于气溶胶—云相互作用的研究主要以飞机航测、卫星反演和模式模拟为主,地基直接观测由于布置难度大、实验时间长、人力物力耗费等原因开展得较少。当前针对气溶胶—云相互作用机制的理解还比较低,亟需外场观测资料深入认识其过程。本研究以长江三角洲地区高山站点的云雾为背景,利用雾滴谱仪、地用逆流虚拟撞击器、混合凝聚核粒子计数器、扫描电迁移率颗粒物粒径谱仪等仪器,研究了大明山顶(海拔1483 m)7月份多云雾期间云滴和气溶胶的特性,探讨了气溶胶对云形成和发展的影响以及云对气溶胶颗粒物的清除作用。云形成初期对气溶胶颗粒物的清除率约为20%~50%。研究显示水汽过饱和度越高且颗粒物粒径越大,清除率越高,这表明粒径较大的吸湿性颗粒物容易活化为云凝结核。对比同一云雾事件中气溶胶数浓度差异较大的三个阶段,我们发现较低的气溶胶数浓度有利于形成液态水含量高的浓云,此时云团由数量相对较少而粒径大的云滴组成,而大气颗粒物数量增多会使云雾变淡,此时的云团由大量细小的云滴组成。本研究分析了8 μm以上云滴的云凝结核数量分布特征,发现大云滴的云凝结核几乎都是100 nm以上的颗粒物;随着气溶胶数浓度升高,8 μm以上大云滴的数量减少,且大云滴云凝结核的平均直径变大。这些结果显示气溶胶数浓度升高会促使云滴的数量增多而等效直径变小,在水汽有限的自然环境中,气溶胶数浓度越高,颗粒物的临界活化直径越大。总之,我们发现大气气溶胶的数浓度—粒径分布特性影响着云滴的数量和粒径,云的形成和发展也对气溶胶颗粒物有较强的清除作用。

     

    Abstract: The aerosol–cloud interaction is essential for assessing the lifetime of clouds and aerosols as well as their climate effect. The current study on the aerosol–cloud interaction mainly focused on aircraft observation, satellite retrieval data, and modeling simulations, while fewer field observation experiments were carried out due to deployment difficulties, long experimental duration, and high instrument and labor consumption. As for the insufficient understanding of aerosol–cloud interactions, the aerosol–cloud observational data from field campaigns are extremely important. In this study, the authors conducted a field study on clouds and aerosols at the Mountain Daming station (located at an altitude of 1483 m) in the Yangtze River Delta. The study employed a fog monitor, a ground-based counterflow virtual impactor, a scanning mobility particle sizer, and so on. This study investigated the characteristics of cloud droplets and aerosols at the mountaintop during a cloudy period in July 2021 to discuss the impacts of aerosols on the formation, development, and scavenging effect of clouds. The removal rate was approximately 20%–50% during the initial stage of cloud formation. The authors found that higher supersaturation levels and larger aerosol particle sizes increased aerosol removal rates within clouds. This result indicates that particles of larger size were more inclined to activate as cloud condensation nuclei. By comparing three different stages of a single cloud event with various aerosol abundances, the authors discovered that a low aerosol load was advantageous for the formation of dense clouds with a high liquid water content, and the then cloud was composed of larger but fewer droplets. In contrast, increasing aerosol particles might lead to light clouds composed of numerous small droplets. Moreover, the authors further analyzed the size distribution of dry residual nuclei of cloud droplets with sizes of >8 μm. The results showed that these residual nuclei were mostly formed by aerosol particles with sizes of >100 nm. An increase in the concentration of aerosol particles within the same cloud event significantly decreased the number of cloud droplets with sizes of >8 μm and increased the diameter of cloud residual nuclei. These results indicate that an increase in aerosol particles can increase the number of cloud droplets and reduce the droplet diameter. Meanwhile, the critical activation diameter of aerosol particles became larger in water-limited clouds. Therefore, the authors concluded that the size distribution of aerosol particles significantly influenced the number and diameter of cloud droplets; conversely, the formation and development of clouds exhibit a certain scavenging effect on aerosols.
