Characteristics of Ozone Variations in Lhasa in Recent Years

近几年拉萨上空大气臭氧变化特征(英文)

The variation characteristics of ozone in Lhasa in recent years were analyzed by using Brewer spectrometer observation data. The results showed that ozone was mainly distributed in 15-35 km in atmosphere in Lhasa; the peak value by inversion was in 21-25 km; by comparison of ozone vertical distribution in Lhasa, it can be concluded that ozone differs insignificantly in middle-to-high layers in stratosphere and the distribution is similar over 36 km. The difference can be observed from the fact that ozone concentration is higher in winter and spring compared with summer and autumn from ground to the height at 21 km. In recent 4 years, annual average of total ozone in Lhasa was of little variations and extreme values of ozone appeared in winter and spring. Monthly averages were lower in August and September, and the lower value of ozone kept longer in 2008 for 23 d.

利用Brewer分光光谱仪观测资料分析青藏高原拉萨站近几年大气臭氧的变化特征,结果表明,拉萨上空臭氧主要分布在15~35 km,反演结果的峰值出现在21~25 km。对比拉萨四季臭氧垂直分布发现,它们在平流层中上层的差异不大,且在36 km以上的分布大致相同,差异主要表现在从地面到21 km,冬春季的臭氧数密度大于夏秋季,近4年来拉萨的年平均臭氧总量的变化不大,臭氧总量的极值出现在冬春季节,臭氧总量的月平均值在8和9月较低,2008年6~9月臭氧低值的持续时间是近几年中最长的,达23 d。
