Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) impacts local and remote atmospheric circulations, wherein it mechanically thermally affects air masses or airflows. Moreover, the TP provides a key channel for substance transport between troposphere stratosphere. This study reviews recent advances in research regarding land–atmosphere coupling processes over TP. experiences climate warming wetting.

Accurate identification of aerosols and cloud from remote sensing observations is importance for quantitatively evaluating their radiative forcing related impacts. Even though polarization lidar has exhibited a unique advantage classifying atmospheric clouds over the past several decades, measurements are often achieved at one wavelength (UV or VIS) using laser sensing. To better identify types clouds, we developed ground-based dual-polarization system that can simultaneously detect wavelengths 355 nm 532 nm. Our results show volume depolarization ratios (VDRs) markedly differ typical in atmosphere. For non-spherical particles, ratio VDRs 2.87 ± 1.35 ice 1.51 0.29 dust-dominated aerosols, respectively. However, spherical 0.43 0.26 water 0.56 0.05 air pollutants. Consequently, proposed simple reliable method observed by system.

The satellite-based estimation of the dust mass concentration (DMC) is essential for accurately evaluating global biogeochemical cycle aerosols. As uncertainties in estimating DMC caused by mixing and pollutants assuming a fixed value extinction efficiency (MEE), classic lidar-photometer method employed to identify separate from pollutants, obtain MEE, evaluate effect above uncertainties, during five field experiments Northwest China. Our results show that this effective continental aerosol mixtures consisting pollutants. It also seen loading mainly occurred free troposphere (<6 km), with average 905 ± 635 µg m−2 trapped planetary boundary layer. MEE ranges 0.30 0.60 m2 g−1 has significantly negative relationship size particles. With assumption 0.37 (0.60) g−1, shown be overestimated (underestimated) 20–40% (15–30%). In other words, our suggest change particles should considered DMC.

The Taklimakan and Gobi Deserts are the largest desert regions in North China. Correlations between incidence of dust events these deserts their climatic parameters have not yet been fully described. In this study, a index was defined utilizing event records, including storm, blowing dust, floating events, from 1,731 observation stations China during period 1961-2014. decreased markedly across that period, especially Desert region (TDR) (GDR). major factors contributing to trend were evaluated meteorological factors, land surface conditions, atmospheric circulation patterns, oceanic oscillations. results indicate constituted dominant contribution, accounting for 62.5% 58.0% reduction TDR GDR, respectively, with lower wind speeds playing an important role latter. Oceanic oscillations next most significant contributor, leading reductions 20.1% 32.4% respectively. Increased normalized difference vegetation values also significantly related decline observed TDR.

Mineral dust contributes to more than half of the global aerosol loading. However, radiative impacts aerosols on planetary boundary layer (PBL) structure have not been explored sufficiently. During a typical storm event over Tarim Basin, exhibit well-mixed distribution during daytime in spite shallow particles accumulated at higher altitudes. By contrast, nocturnal plumes are located near surface due stable stratification. We demonstrate that these differentiated vertical distributions determine spatial heterogeneity loading, fluxes and PBL height variations. Dust cause suppression nighttime promotion through modulating atmospheric budgets. Specifically, dust-induced cooling effect within directly inhibits development. is then amplified by entrainment processes resulting excessively low height, especially for below but top. weaken updrafts from downdrafts free atmosphere, which further reduce mixing attenuating horizontal advection, eventually amplify suppression. At night, near-surface stimulate warm unstable lower generate advection heating promote Our study highlights importance specifying parameters activities quantifying dust-PBL interactions.
