城市扬沙天气与园林绿化

城市扬沙天气的形成有两个必要条件:一是沙尘,二是足以吹起沙尘的大风。城市周边的防护林可以减弱风力,城市中的园林植物可以覆盖地面,对扬沙天气起到抑制作用。因此,要减少城市扬沙天气,应采取如下绿化措施。 1.搞好绿地系统规划,

何为沙尘天气

沙尘天气是指强风从地面卷起大量尘沙,使空气混浊、水平能见度明显降低的一种天气现象。沙尘天气根据强度可分为浮尘天气、扬沙天气、沙尘暴天气和强沙尘暴天气四类。

The development of a powerful Mongolian cyclone on 14-15 March 2021:Eddy energy analysis

Intense and extensive dust,caused by a strong Mongolian cyclone,hit Mongolia and northern China on 14-15 March 2021.In this study,the development process of this cyclone is analysed from the perspective of highfrequency eddy energetics.During the low-frequency circulation field of early March of 2021,an amplified polar vortex intruding towards central Asia and a ridge straddling eastern and northeastern Asia worked in concert to comprise a strong baroclinic zone from central Asia to Lake Baikal.Under these favourable conditions,on 13 March,a migratory trough triggered the Mongolian cyclone by crossing over the Sayan Mountains.The downwards transfer of kinetic energy from the eddy at 850 hPa played a key role in the intensification and mature stage of the cyclone.This mechanism was primarily completed by the cold air sinking behind the cold front.The frontal cyclone wave mechanism became crucial once the cyclone started to rapidly develop.The authors emphasize that the anomalously large growth of high-frequency available potential energy,which characterized this super strong cyclone,was obtained by extracting energy first from the time-mean available potential energy and then from the low-frequency available potential energy.The interannual temperature anomaly pattern of"north cold south warm"facilitated the additional time-mean available potential energy,and the temperature anomaly pattern of"northwest cold southeast warm"conditioned the extra low-frequency available potential energy.The analysis results suggest that the interaction between high-and low-frequency waves was also important in the development of the intense cyclone.

Correlation of Dust Storms in China with Chlorophyll a Concentration in the Yellow Sea between 1997-2007

Based on daily observation data at 222 meteorological stations in China,the characteristics of dust storms between 1997 and 2007 were examined.Next,the relationship between dust events and chlorophyll (Chl) a concentration in the Yellow Sea was investigated.There were six regions with high annual frequencies of dust storms.The seasonal distribution of dust storms showed spatiotemporal variation.The six regions with highest annual frequencies also exhibited high frequencies of dust storms in spring.Dust storms in most regions occurred in spring.Of all dust storms in China,sixty-five percent of all dust storms occurred during the spring.The area and frequency of dust storms were smaller in fall and winter than in spring and summer.A significant correlation was found between dust events and Chl a concentration in the Yellow Sea.High correlation regions included Qinghai-Xizang region,part of the Hexi Corridor,the western Inner Mongolia and Hetao Regions,and the Hunshandake Desert.The high correlation may be induced by the high ratio of dust storms in the abovementioned regions that arrive over the Yellow Sea,as inferred through a forward trajectory analysis;especially notable is dust transported at a lower altitude (< 3 km).

Particulate matter trends and quantification of the spring sand-dust contribution in Hohhot,Inner Mongolia,from 2013 to 2017

On 10 September 2013,the State Council promulgated the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution(hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).To study the variations in the air pollutant concentrations in Hohhot during the implementation of the Action Plan and the effects of various measures,the daily concentrations of air pollutants(fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5)),inhalable PM(PM 10),SO_(2),and NO_(2))in Hohhot published by the China Environmental Monitoring Station were obtained to analyze the general meteorological conditions in Inner Mongolia from 2013 to 2017.The variations and causes of the ambient PM concentration in Hohhot were examined,and the quantitative influence of sandstorms on the ambient PM concentration in Hohhot was analyzed by selecting the spring season with frequent sandstorms as an example.The results showed the following.(1)The air quality in Hohhot continuously improved,and compared with those in 2013,the PM_(2.5)and PM 10 concentrations decreased by 24.6%and 48.2%,respectively,in 2017.However,the air pollutant concentrations remained high,with the average PM_(2.5)and PM 10 concentrations exceeding the national secondary standards by 22.9%and 35.7%,respectively.(2)The reductions in the spring PM_(2.5)and PM 10 concentrations were 5.6%and 8.9%,respectively,and the annual decreases in the PM_(2.5)and PM 10 concentrations were 3.6 and 15.1μg m^(−3)yr−1,respectively,from 2013 to 2017.(3)The absolute contribution ranges of dust weather to the concentrations of PM_(2.5),PM 10,and TSP during 2013–17 were 0.6–5.2μg m^(−3),9.0–16.9μg m^(−3),and 14.7–30.0μg m^(−3),respectively,in Hohhot during the spring.

Simulating Dry Deposition Fluxes of PM_(10) and Particulate Inorganic Nitrogen over the Eastern China Seas During a Severe Asian Dust Event Using WRF-Chem Model

A WRF-Chem model including a comprehensive gas-phase nitrogen chemistry module was used to simulate a severe dust event appearing in the eastern China on 19-25 March, 2002. The modeling result well reproduced PM10 concentrations in various distances from the dust sources and the transport pathway of the dust strom. The results showed that both the concentrations and the dry deposition fluxes of PM10 increased over the China seas during the dust event following the passage of a cold front system. The maximum fluxes of PM10 in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea during the dust event were 5.5 and 8.4 times of those before the event, respectively. However, the temporal variations of the dry deposition fluxes of particulate inorganic nitrogen differed over the Yellow Sea from those over the East China Sea. Nitrate and ammonium in the whole northern China rapidly decreased because of the intrusion of dust-loaded air on 19 March. The dust plume arrived in the Yellow Sea on 20 March, decreasing the particulate inorganic nitrogen in mass concentration accordingly. The minimum dry deposition fluxes of nitrate and ammonium in the Yellow Sea were about 3/5 and 1/6 of those before the dust arrival, respectively. In contrast, when the dust plume crossed over the Yangtze Delta area, it became abundant in nitrate and ammonium and increased the concentrations and dry deposition fluxes of particulate inorganic nitrogen over the East China Sea, where the maximum dry deposition fluxes of nitrate and ammonium increased approximately by 4.1 and 2.6 times of those prior to the dust arrival.

Studying environmental phenomenon in Rub＇ Al-Khali （Arabic name of＂Empty Quarter＂）, as one of the largest deserts in the world, requires adopting some advanced spatial technologies in conjunction with the data recorded in the field in order to device better understanding. The paper utilizes the technologies of GIS （geographical information systems） and RS （remote sensing） in order to study large amount of weather data recorded in the field from different sources related to oil and gas industry in Rub＇ AI-Khali desert. The main objective is to identify the wind directions and its movement in Kidan areas and the areas south and east of Shaybah in Rub＇ Al-Khali desert. The study used different sources of data mainly recorded by the seismic campaigns＇ base camps and the drilling rig camps or the civil works camps. Wind Roses were created for all metrological weather stations in the study area. Also, the study tried to analyze the dune types using satellite imageries and identify the relation of its shapes to the wind direction. The final aim of the result of this study is to help in planning best locations to build facilities for new major oil and gas project.
