Calculation of stratosphere–troposphere exchange in East Asia cut-off lows:cases from the Lagrangian perspective

In this study,the authors focus on the cut-off low pressure systems（COLs）lingering over East Asia in late spring and early summer and quantify the two-way stratosphere–troposphere exchange（STE）by 3D trajectory integrations,achieved using a revised version of the UK Universities Global Atmospheric Modelling Programme Offline Trajectory Code（Version 3）.By selecting 10 typical COLs and calculating the cross-tropopause air mass fluxes,it is found that stratosphere-to-troposphere transport（STT）fluxes exist in the center of COLs;and in the periphery of the COL center,troposphereto-stratosphere transport（TST）fluxes and STT fluxes are distributed alternately.Net transport fluxes in COLs are from stratosphere to troposphere,and the magnitude is about 10-4 kg m-2 s-1.The ratio between the area-averaged STT and TST fluxes increases with increasing strength of the COLs.By adopting appropriate residence time,the spurious transports are effectively excluded.Finally,the authors compare the results with previous studies,and find that the cross-tropopause fluxes（CTFs）induced by COLs are about one to two orders of magnitude larger than global CTFs.COLs play a significant role in local,rapid air mass exchanges,although they may only be responsible for a fraction of the total STE.

Role of a Single Shield in Thermocouple Measurements in Hot Air Flow

To investigate the role of a single shield on steady temperature measurement using therrnocouples in hot air flow, a methodology for solving convection, conduction, and radiation in one single model is provided. In order to compare with the experimental results, a cylindrical computational domain is established, which is the same size with the hot calibration wind-tannel. In the computational domain, two kinds of thermocouples, the bare-bead and the single-shielded thermocouples, are simulated respectively. Surface temperature distribution and the tempera- ture measurement bias of the two typical thermocouples are compared. The simulation results indicate that： 1） The existence of the shield reduces bead surface heat flux and changes the direction of wires inner heat conduction in a colder surrounding; 2） The existence of the shield reduces the temperature measurement bias both by improving bead surface temperature and by reducing surface temperature gradient; 3） The shield effectively reduces the effect of the ambient temperature on the temperature measurement bias; 4） The shield effectively reduces the influence of airflow velocity on the temperature measurement bias.

Probing PM_(2.5) with terahertz wave

The goal of continuous ambient participate monitoring has been accomplished by the use of terahertz （THz） wave. The fre- quency-dependent spectrum and absorbance of the particulate matter （PM2.5） were measured in the range of 0-10 THz. The PM2.5 concentration ,o was calculated according to the sampling time and air flow. With the increase of ,o, the THz wave am- plitude gradually decreased and the absorbance A of PM2.5 increased. The relationship between p and A can be described mathematically through p∝ A0.5. Our results demonstrate that the terahertz wave could be a valuable tool to monitor and in- spect the PM2.5 concentration.

A regional simulation study on dispersion of nuclear pollution from the damaged Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

A nuclear accident involving the leaking of radioactive pollutants occurred at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, following an earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11,2011. Using official Japanese data on pollutant emissions during the accident, this study simulates the dispersion of nuclear pollutants. The source term of the nuclear leakage of radioactive material is designed using PM2.5 as the tracer of radioactive pollutants, and the study considers dry and wet deposition processes. A coupled-model system is constructed from the air-quality model Models-3/CMAQ and the Weather Research and Forecasting atmospheric model. The transport path and distribution of radioactive pollutants over long and short distances are simulated with different model horizontal resolutions of 30 and 4 km respectively. The long-distance simulation shows that, following the Fukushima nuclear accident, under the effect of westerly winds, radioactive pollutants are transported generally towards the eastern Pacific and reach the American continent after 5 days, but their concentration is only about 10-7 times the concentration near the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The time required for pollutants to reach the United States is basically consistent with measurements made in California on March 18. Because the upper westerly wind is faster than the lower westerly wind, the distribution of pollutants tilts eastward in terms of its vertical structure. The short-distance （local） highresolution simulation indicates that strong winds and precipitation associated with a cyclone can accelerate the deposition, dif- fusion and transport of pollutions, and local cyclonic circulation can change the transport path of pollutants, even resulting in repeated effects of pollution in some areas. Pollutants disperse to southeastern Honshu, Japan, on March 14, 2011, agreeing well with the timing of local observations of increases in the absorbed dose rate. Results also show that radioactive pollutants from the Fukushima nuclear accident are mainly transported and diffuse eastward, resulting in a relatively short-term impact on the Japanese mainland even under the influence of the cyclone system. Therefore, in terms of atmospheric conditions, the location of the Fukusbima Nuclear Power Plant is appropriate and could serve as a reference to site selection and protection of other nuclear facilities.
