Anthropogenic aerosol concentrations （inorganic ＋ carbonaceous） were higher in March 2006 and 2008, whereas soil dust reached its highest levels in March 2006 and 2010, resulting in stronger aerosol radiative forcings in these periods. The domain and five-year （2006-10） monthly mean concentrations of anthropogenic and dust aerosols, AOD, and radiative forcings at the surface （SURF） and at the top of the atmosphere （TOA） in March were 2.4 μg m 3 13.1 lag m^-3, 0.18, -19.0 W m^-2, and -7.4 W m^-2, respectively. Heterogeneous reactions led to an increase of total inorganic aerosol concentration; however, the ambient inorganic aerosol concentration decreased, resulting in a smaller AOD and weaker aerosol radiative forcings. In March 2006 and 2010, the changes in ambient inorganic aerosols, AOD, and aerosol radiative forcings were more evident. In terms of the domain and five-year averages, the total inorganic aerosol concentrations increased by 13.7% （0.17 μg m^-3） due to heterogeneous reactions, but the ambient inorganic aerosol concentrations were reduced by 10.5% （0.13 lag m-3）. As a result, the changes in AOD, SURF and TOA radiative forcings were estimated to be -3.9% （-0.007）, -1.7% （0.34 W m^-2）, and -4.3% （0.34 W m^-2）, respectively, in March over East Asia.展开更多

The governing equation with curvilinear coordinates is derived from the momentum equation and the flow continuity equation under the condition of quasi-uniform flow. A series of experiments are conducted in a large-scale meandering compound channel. Based on the experimental data, a magnitude analysis is carried out for the governing equation, and two lower-order shear stress terms are ignored. Four groups of experimental data from different sources are used to verify the predictive capability of this model, and good predictions are obtained. Finally, the determination of the velocity parameter and the limitation of this model are discussed.展开更多
