Atmospheric aerosol particles were collected on electron microscope meshes according to two size ranges: coarse particles (r>0.5μm) and fine particles (0.5μm>r>0. 1μm) by using a two-stage impactor. It was found that more than seventy percent of the fine particles and about twenty percentof the coarse particles were sulfate-containing particles. These particles were formed mainly through heterogeneousnucleation. The element composition analyses revealed that the atmospheric aerosol particles in Beijing were domi-nated by crustal particles and construction dust.展开更多

Thus, after the geostrophic adjustment, the kinetic energy of the system is reducedwhile the potential energy is enhanced. As the topographic effect is considered, it is found thatthe decrease of the kinetic energy (ΔKE) and the increase of the potential energy (ΔPE) of thesystem are weakened as compared to the case that the lower boundary is flat. Furthermore, thetopographic effect on APE is less pronounced than that on ΔKE, which implicates that the topographytends to inhibit the energy dispersion of the inertio-gravity wave. The numerical simulation of thegeostrophic adjustment process shows that, due to the impact of topography, the convergence anddivergence in the low layer are reduced and the undulation of the interface between the lower-layerand upper-layer is weakened. This means that the amplitude of the inertio-gravity wave is decreased,and thus, the energy radiated by the inertio-gravity wave is lessened.展开更多
