英文摘要 | A multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) instrument was deployed in May and June 2016 at a monitoring station (37.18° N, 114.36° E) in the suburban area of Xingtai, which is one of the most polluted cities in the North China Plain (NCP), during the Atmosphere-Aerosol-Boundary Layer-Cloud (A2BC) experiment and Air chemistry Research In Asia (ARIAs) joint experiments to derive tropospheric vertical profiles of NO2, SO2, HONO, HCHO, CHOCHO and aerosols. Aerosol optical depths derived from MAX-DOAS were found to be consistent with collocated sun-photometer measurements. Also the derived near-surface aerosol extinction and HCHO mixing ratio agree well with the coincident visibility meter and in situ HCHO measurements, with mean HCHO near-surface mixing ratios of ∼ 3.5 ppb. Underestimations of MAX-DOAS results compared to in situ measurements of NO2 (∼ 60 %) and SO2 (∼ 20 %) are found expectedly due to vertical and horizontal inhomogeneity of trace gases. Vertical profiles of aerosols and NO2 and SO2 are reasonably consistent with those measured by a collocated Raman lidar and aircraft spirals over the station. The deviations can be attributed to differences in sensitivity as a function of altitude and substantial horizontal gradients of pollutants. Aerosols, HCHO and CHOCHO profiles typically extended to higher altitudes (with 75% integrated column located below ∼ 1.4 km) than NO2, SO2 and HONO did (with 75% integrated column below ∼ 0.5 km) under polluted conditions. Lifted layers were systematically observed for all species (except HONO), indicating accumulation, secondary formation or long-range transport of the pollutants at higher altitudes. Maximum values routinely occurred in the morning for NO2, SO2 and HONO but occurred at around noon for aerosols, HCHO and CHOCHO, mainly dominated by photochemistry, characteristic upslope-downslope circulation and planetary boundary layer (PBL) dynamics. Significant day-to-day variations are found for all species due to the effect of regional transport and changes in synoptic pattern analysed with the backward propagation approach based on HYSPLIT trajectories. Low pollution was often observed for air masses from the northwest (behind cold fronts), and high pollution was observed from the southern areas such as industrialized Wu'an. The contribution of regional transport for the pollutants measured at the site during the observation period was estimated to be about 20% to 30% for trace gases and about 50% for aerosols. In addition, agricultural burning events impacted the day-to-day variations in HCHO, CHOCHO and aerosols. It needs to be noted that although several MAX-DOAS measurements of trace gases and aerosols in the NCP area have been reported in previous studies, this study is the first work to derive a comprehensive set of vertical profiles of NO2, SO2, HONO, HCHO, CHOCHO and aerosols from measurements of one MAX-DOAS instrument. Also, so far, the validation of MAX-DOAS profile results by comparison with various surface in situ measurements as well as profile measurements from lidar and aircraft is scarce. Moreover, the backward propagation approach for characterizing the contributions of regional transport of pollutants from different regions was applied to the MAX-DOAS results of trace gases and aerosols for the first time. © Author(s) 2019. |
