Abstract:
From January 1st to 17th, 2020, Shihezi experienced a persistent low visibility weather event. This study utilized tethered airships, microwave radiometers, ground-based lidars, and other equipment to conduct joint experiments to detect this event. The meteorological factors, atmospheric boundary layer characteristics, and the diurnal and daily variations of pollutants during this low visibility weather were analyzed. The results show:(1) An extended duration of haze phase alongside low atmospheric boundary layer height, significant inversion layer, and high pollutant concentration within the event. (2) The relationship between atmospheric boundary layer height variation and pollutant accumulation was significant, with a low atmospheric boundary layer height corresponding to low wind speed, high humidity, and high pollutant concentration. (3) Visibility averaged 1040m, with low surface wind speeds (lower 2m/s) and relative humidity between 71% and 92%. The atmospheric boundary layer exhibited a dry-above, moist-below structure, ranging from 230 to 500m, while aerosol pollutants were mainly between 150m and 450m. PM2.5 peaked at 319.7μg/m^3.(4) There was a negative correlation between relative humidity and PM2.5 concentration with visibility, with PM2.5 having a more significant impact on visibility. This study holds implications for haze monitoring and forecasting.
