In order to explore the characteristics and influence factors of atmospheric boundary layer inversion in Yinchuan City and their relationship with winter PM2.5 pollution, based on the sounding and surface meteorological observation data at Yinchuan meteorological station and the air quality monitoring data in Yinchuan City from 2015 to 2020, the characteristics of atmospheric boundary layer inversion and surface meteorological elements are analyzed. And on this basis that the influence of inversion and surface meteorological elements on PM2.5 pollution weathers in winter is explored. The results are as follows: (1) The inversions in atmospheric boundary layer are more easily to occur in the early morning than in the evening in Yinchuan City, and most of the inversions are ground inversions, they are stronger and thinner than suspension inversions. The inversion frequency and thickness are the largest in winter and the smallest in summer, while the inversion intensity is the strongest in autumn and the weakest in summer. (2) In winter, the inversions are easily to occur on a sunny day with average surface wind speed from 1.0 to 1.5 m·s-1 and relative humidity from 30% to 60%. (3) Ground inversion is one of the main meteorological factors affecting PM2.5 pollution weathers in winter. When the inversion thickness exceeds 596 m and the intensity exceeds 1.4 ℃·(100 m)-1, PM2.5 pollution weathers are easily to occur, and the pollution is aggravated with the increase of inversion thickness and intensity. (4) Under PM2.5 pollution weathers in winter, the sky is mostly sunny in the early morning, the average surface wind speed is usually less than 1.3 m·s-1, the relative humidity is greater than 54%, and the pollution is aggravated with the increase of humidity. (5) The boundary layer height is significantly negatively correlated with PM2.5 mass concentration, and the lower boundary layer height is, the heavier PM2.5 pollution is.
In order to better exploit the detection advantages of wind profile radar in upper layer, the detection data of ST wind profile radar during 2014-2017 from Huainan Climate and Environment Observatory (HCEO), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, were used to evaluate the detection performance of ST wind profile radar under different detection mode combinations, and the influence of meteorological environment on detection performance was explored. On this basis, the applicability of detection mode combinations was discriminated in practical operations. The results show that ST wind profile radar can achieve different detection purposes by combining high or low modes with switching altitude. However, there are differences in detection performance under different combinations of mode. On the one hand, the detection performance of radar gradually decreases before the mode conversion and rapidly increases after the mode conversion, while it gradually decreases with height under the high mode. On the other hand, the detection performance of radar doesn’t change significantly in process of the conversion, while it gradually decreases after the high mode to a certain height. In addition, the reducing degree of detection performance gradually increases as the transition altitude approach in autumn and winter. The precipitation reduces the detection performance in lower and middle layers of troposphere. So, we select suitable mode combination based on the detection performance of radar to atmospheric boundary layer, troposphere and stratosphere.
Based on the hail data from eleven ground meteorological observation stations in the eastern agricultural region of Qinghai Province from 1961 to 2020, the temporal and spatial distribution of hail days, hail diameter, duration and disaster risk characteristics were analyzed by using statistical methods. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The hail days in the agricultural area of eastern Qinghai Province decreased with climate tendency rate of 11.6 d·(10 a)-1 in the past 60 years, which passed the significance test of α=0.05, and after 1995, the anomaly of the total number of hail days changed from the positive to the negative. Hualong was the area with the largest number of hail days, and the number of hail days in Jianzha was the least. (2) Hail occurred mainly from May to September each year with seasonal differences. The diurnal variation of hail was obvious, and the peak occurred at 16:00 BST in the afternoon. (3) The number of hail days was positively correlated with altitude of stations and the correlation coefficient between them was as high as 0.97.(4) In the past 60 years, the hail processes with hail diameter less than 6 mm and the duration less than 9 min accounted for 58.33% and 73.55% of the total number of hail processes, respectively. (5) Xunhua was a low-risk area for hail, Hualong, Huangzhong and Huangyuan were medium-risk areas for hail, and Ledu was a high-risk or extremely high-risk area for hail, which was basically consistent with historical hail disasters.
Based on the cloud characteristic parameters retrieved by FY-2G satellite and hourly precipitation from July to September 2018, April to September 2019, and April to July 2020 in the eastern region of Qinghai Province, the indications of cloud top height, cloud top temperature, cloud optical thickness and cloud particle effective radius to precipitation frequency and precipitation intensity were analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) The cloud optical thickness was the strongest indicator of precipitation frequency for single cloud characteristic parameter. The frequency of moderate rain and heavy rain showed an obvious increasing trend with the decrease of cloud top temperature, increase of cloud top height and cloud optical thickness, while the frequency of light rain showed a decreasing trend. (2) The double cloud characteristic parameters (cloud optical thickness and cloud top temperature) were better indicators for precipitation frequency than single cloud characteristic parameter, the precipitation frequency increased with increase of cloud optical thickness and decrease of cloud top temperature. When cloud optical thickness was between 21 and 30 and cloud top temperature was greater than 0 ℃, the frequency of light rain was largest. When cloud optical thickness was greater than 40 and cloud top temperature was between -45 and -31 ℃, the frequency of moderate rain was largest. When cloud optical thickness was greater than 40 and cloud top temperature was less than -45 ℃, the frequency of heavy rain was largest. (3) The triple cloud characteristic parameters (cloud top temperature, cloud optical thickness and cloud particle effective radius) were more indicative for precipitation frequency than single cloud characteristic parameter and less indicative than double cloud characteristic parameters.
