A sound scientific understanding of the factors affecting the environment is essential to guarantee the sustainable development of the world＇s economic and societal activities. Many environmental issues,such as air quality and climate

Progress and prospects of atmospheric environmental sciences in China: Preface

Anthropogenic emissions impact significantly the atmospheric environment which human being relies on, e.g., global warming, stratospheric ozone depletion, photochemical smog, acid rain, haze and so on. Although clean air actions have been legislated by many nations to mitigate pollutants＇ emission with the aim of protecting the atmospheric environment, serious air pollution events are frequently observed in different regions, especially in developing countries. To best evaluate the effect of various control measures as well as the influence of various pollutants on the atmospheric environment, the levels, sources and sinks of the pollutants are needed to be comprehensively investigated. Since atmospheric environment involves multidisciplinary approach, scientists with different disciplines together can provide profound understandings about the atmospheric environmental problems. Sino-French Workshop on Atmospheric Environment is just one of such platforms to join scientists together for collaboration, exchange of experience and ideas.

Radar-based Characteristics and Formation Environment of Supercells in the Landfalling Typhoon Mujigae in 2015

This study presents the radar-based characteristics and formation environment of supercells spawned by the tornadic landfalling Typhoon Mujigae(2015)in October 2015.More than 100 supercells were identified within a 24-hour period around the time of the typhoon’s landfall,of which three were tornadic with a rotational intensity clearly stronger than those of non-tornadic supercells.The identified supercells were concentrated within a relatively small area in the northeast quadrant beyond 140 km from the typhoon center.These supercells were found more likely to form over flat topography and were difficult to maintain in mountainous regions.During the study period,more supercells formed offshore than onshore.The mesocyclones of the identified supercells were characterized by a small diameter generally less than 5 km and a shallow depth generally less than 4 km above ground level.An environmental analysis revealed that the northeast quadrant had the most favorable conditions for the genesis of supercell in this typhoon case.The nondimensional supercell composite parameter(SCP)and entraining-SCP(E-SCP)were effective in separating supercell from non-supercell environment.Even though the atmosphere in the typhoon’s northeast quadrant was characterized by an E-SCP/SCP value supportive of supercell organization,orography was an impeditive factor for the supercell development.These findings support the use of traditional parameters obtained from midlatitude supercells to assess the supercell potential in a tropical cyclone envelope.

The difference of atmospheric chemical loadings shown by electrical conductivity of snow and ice between Antarctica, Arctic and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

The relationship of ECM with ice acidity and impurities concentrations are much different between the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau and the polar regions. On the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau, ECM is dependent on the mineral ions (i.e., Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , SO 2- 4, etc.) mainly derived from crustal sources, thus displays a positive linear correlation between ECM and these ions. While in polar ice sheets, however, ECM of snow and ice is mainly dependent on the acidic roots such as Cl -, SO 2- 4 and NO - 3 that mostly come from ocean. Therefore, there is good relationship between ECM and concentration of H +. However, the relationship between ECM and major ions has complicated geographical differentiation in the whole Arctic. For instance, there no longer exits the same simple relationship in the central Arctic as that in the Greenland Ice Sheet, probably due to the disturbance of Arctic haze. In general, ECM of snow and ice is a potential indicator of atmospheirc envirmment of cold regions.

Biochar Effectively Reduces Ammonia Volatilization From Nitrogen-Applied Soils in Tea and Bamboo Plantations

Intensive practices in forest soils result in dramatic nitrogen(N)losses,particularly ammonia(NH_(3))volatilization,to adjacent environmental areas.A soil column experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of bamboo biochar on NH_(3) volatilization from tea garden and bamboo forest soils.The results showed that biochar amendment effectively reduced NH_(3) volatilization from tea garden and bamboo forest soil by 79.2%and 75.5%,respectively.The soil pH values increased by 0.53-0.61 units after biochar application.The NH_(4)^(+)-N and total N of both soils were 13.8-29.7%and 34.0-41.9%higher under the biochar treatments than under the control treatment,respectively.In addition,the soil water contents of the two biochar-amended soils were significantly higher(P<0.05),by 10.7-12.5%,than that of the soils without biochar amendment.Therefore,biochar mitigates NH_(3) volatilization from the tested forest soils,which was due to the increases in soil NH_(4)^(+)-N,total N and water contents after biochar amendment.Our main findings suggest that biochar addition is an effective management option for sustainable forest management.

STUDY OF THE VERTICAL WIND FIELD STRUCTURE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PM2.5 AIR POLLUTION OVER THE PEARL RIVER DELTA IN AUTUMN

Meteorological conditions,particularly the vertical wind field structure,have a direct influence on the PM2.5 concentrations over the Pearl River Delta(PRD).In October 2012,an exceptional air pollution event occurred in the PRD,and a high concentration of PM2.5 was registered at some stations.During days with PM2.5 air pollution,the wind speed was less than 3 m s-1 at the surface,and the vertical wind field featured a weak wind layer(WWL)with a thickness of approximately 1000 m.The mean atmospheric boundary layer height was less than 500 m during pollution days,but it was greater than 1400 m during non-pollution days.A strong negative correlation was detected between the PM2.5 concentration and the ventilation index(VI).The VI was less than 2000 m2 s-1 during PM2.5 air pollution days.Because of the weak wind,sea-land breezes occurred frequently,the recirculation factor(RF)values were small at a height of 800 m during pollution days,and the zones with the lowest RF values always occurred between the heights of 300 and 600 m.The RF values during PM2.5 pollution days were approximately 0.4 to 0.6 below a height of 800 m,reducing the transportation capacity of the wind field to only 40%to 60%.The RF and wind profile characteristics indicated that sealand breezes were highly important in the accumulation of PM2.5 air pollution in the PRD.The sea breezes may transport pollutants back inland and may result in the peak PM2.5 concentrations at night.

天山东部冰芯pH值和电导率的大气环境空间差异(英文)

Electrical Conductivity Measurement （ECM） from ice core is a representative index for atmospheric environmental change. The pH value and ECM from three shallow ice cores （each 3.85 m, 231 ice samples total） on Glacier No.1 at the headwater of Urumqi River, Glacier No.48 in Kuitun area, and Miaoergou Glacier in Hami area in the eastern Tianshan Mountains, western China, were measured and analyzed for atmospheric environment records research. Ice core record shows that the changing trend of pH and ECM in three sites in recent years is different： ECM in Kuitun increases with the ice depth change, but ECM in Hami and Urumqi Glacier No.1 ice cores show a decreasing trend. Average ECM value in Hami is much larger than other two sites, just as the dust concentration and ions concentration are also very high in this site. ECM records in all three sites are mainly affected by aerosol mineral dust of Central Asia, and correlative coefficients of ECM and mineral ions such as Ca^2＋, Mg^2＋, Na^2＋ are all significantly high. The pH value and ECM are also significantly high correlative coefficients in the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Comparison between the eastern Tianshan Mountains and other sites in western China, and Polar Regions, shows that the difference of ECM can very well reflect the spatial difference of worldwide atmospheric environment.
