  • Laboratory intercomparison of the ozone absorption coefficients in the mid-infrared (10 microm) and ultraviolet (300-350 nm) spectral regions.
    The journal of physical chemistry. A, 2005
    Co-Authors: B Picquet-varrault, J Orphal, J-f Doussin, P Carlier, J-m Flaud
    Abstract:

    For the measurement of atmospheric ozone concentrations, the mid-infrared and ultraviolet regions are both used by ground-, air-, or Satellite-Borne Instruments. In this study we report the first laboratory intercomparison of the ozone absorption coefficients using simultaneous measurements in these spectral regions. The intercomparison shows good agreement (around 98.5%) between the HITRAN 2000 recommendation for the mid-infrared and the most reference measurements in the ultraviolet regions, whereas systematic differences of about 5.5% are observed when using the recommendation of HITRAN2003 for the mid-infrared. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. Future measurements are clearly needed to resolve this issue.

  • Transport of Asian surface pollutants to the global stratosphere from the Tibetan Plateau region during the Asian summer monsoon
    National Science Review, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jianchun Bian, Zhixuan Bai, Daren Lyu, Xiuji Zhou
    Abstract:

    AbstractDue to its surrounding strong and deep Asian summer monsoon (ASM) circulation and active surface pollutant emissions, surface pollutants are transported to the stratosphere from the Tibetan Plateau region, which may have critical impacts on global climate through chemical, microphysical and radiative processes. This article reviews major recent advances in research regarding troposphere–stratosphere transport from the region of the Tibetan Plateau. Since the discovery of the total ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau in summer from satellite observations in the early 1990s, new Satellite-Borne Instruments have become operational and have provided significant new information on atmospheric composition. In addition, in situ measurements and model simulations are used to investigate deep convection and the ASM anticyclone, surface sources and pathways, atmospheric chemical transformations and the impact on global climate. Also challenges are discussed for further understanding critical questions on microphysics and microchemistry in clouds during the pathway to the global stratosphere over the Tibetan Plateau.

  • A multi‐location joint field observation of the stratosphere and troposphere over the Tibetan Plateau
    2019
    Co-Authors: Jinqiang Zhang, Hongbin Chen, Zhixuan Bai, Yi Liu, Zhaonan Cai, Lingkun Ran, Tao Luo, Jing Yang, Yinan Wang, Yuejian Xuan
    Abstract:

    The unique geographical location and high altitude of the Tibetan Plateau can greatly influence regional weather and climate. In particular, the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) anticyclone circulation system over the Tibetan Plateau is recognized to be a significant transport pathway for water vapor and pollutants to enter the stratosphere. To improve understanding of these physical processes, a multi-location joint atmospheric experiment was performed over the Tibetan Plateau from late July to August in 2018, funded by the five-year (2018–2022) STEAM (stratosphere and troposphere exchange experiment during ASM) project, during which multiple platforms/Instruments—including long-duration stratospheric balloons, dropsondes, unmanned aerial vehicles, special sounding systems, and ground-based and Satellite-Borne Instruments—will be deployed. These complementary methods of data acquisition are expected to provide comprehensive atmospheric parameters (aerosol, ozone, water vapor, CO2, CH4, CO, temperature, pressure, turbulence, radiation, lightning and wind); the richness of this approach is expected to advance our comprehension of key mechanisms associated with thermal, dynamical, radiative, and chemical transports over the Tibetan Plateau during ASM activity.
