南亚高压准双周振荡对亚洲对流层顶气溶胶层的影响

Effects of quasi-biweekly oscillation of the South Asian high on the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer

  • 摘要: 基于 2011—2020 年的MERRA-2和CAMS(copernicus atmosphere monitoring service)再分析数据,从次季节尺度出发,通过南亚高压指数描述其东西振荡现象,就南亚高压在TP(Tibetan Plateau)模态和IP(Iranian Plateau)模态下对亚洲对流层顶气溶胶层(Asian tropopause aerosol layer, ATAL)中污染物的影响进行了对比分析. 结果表明,在ATAL中,CO、NOX和PAN(过氧乙酰硝酸酯)的分布情况与南亚高压的空间结构有很好的对应关系. 从多年平均的分布和传输来看,3种污染物在青藏高原上空均存在一个强大的传输通道. 在TP和IP模态下,CO、NOX和PAN的水平分布和垂直输送均会出现明显的差异. 水平分布上,3种污染物在2种模态下差异的正异常(或高值)区域与风场差异的反气旋环流中心相对应;负异常(或低值)区域与风场差异的气旋性环流对应. 在南亚高压从TP模态转向IP模态的过程中,CO和NOX的质量浓度出现降低,而PAN的质量浓度则出现明显增高的现象,说明除了由底层向高层的输送外,在ATAL内有新的PAN生成的可能.

     

    Abstract: Based on the MERRA-2 and CAMS reanalysis data from 2011 to 2020, the east-west oscillation of the South Asia high (SAH) is described by South Asian High Index at the sub-seasonal scale. Under TP mode and IP mode the effects of SAH on pollutants in the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL) are compared and analyzed. The results show that the distribution of CO, NOX and PAN in ATAL has a good correspondence with the spatial structure of SAH. According to the average distribution and transport over the years, the three pollutants all have a strong transport channel over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In the TP and IP modes, obviously different are the horizontal distribution and vertical transport of CO, NOX and PAN. In the horizontal distribution, the positive anomaly regions of the three pollutants in the two modes are corresponding to the anticyclonic circulation centers with different wind fields. The regions with negative anomalies (or low values) correspond to cyclonic circulations with wind field differences. In the process of SAH from TP mode to IP mode, the concentration of CO and NOX decreases, while the concentration of PAN increases significantly, indicating that in addition to transport from bottom to top, the possibility of new PAN formation occurs at ATAL.
