1.发现NCEP产品中有North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) dataset,可考虑后续利用该数据作为驱动WRF的初始场和边界场

2.地表温度数据可以使用 California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS)的气温数据

3.在分析WRF-UCM-Chem的时候,城市气温应该使用模式底层的温度而不是2米地温,因为WRF-Chem模块计算的时候用的是grid cell的温度

4.CO is always considered a conservative tracer.

5.夜间大气冷却。在城市地区,因建筑材料的使用白天热量有所储蓄,夜间释放热量导致大气cooling作用有所削弱。此外,城市地区因热量释放导致夜间边界层升高,也对大气夜间cooling作用有削弱(因为cooling作用分布到了更深的边界层中)。 During nighttime atmosphere cools. The energy stored in the building during daytime (what authors call upward ground heat flux, I suppose) reduces the cooling. The higher PBL in the urban simulation will reduce the cooling too because the effect of the surface cooling is distributed in a greater depth than in the no-urban case. The two mechanisms (energy stored in buildings, and high PBL), both reduce cooling. They do not compete they go in the same direction.

6.美国气象数据可通过以下方式下载: Observations are obtained from MesoWest (https://mesowest.utah.edu/), which are available at Mesonet API (https://developers.synopticdata.com/mesonet/).

7.A good introduction flow is as follows: The flow of the introduction section is as follows. First, we point out that urbanization has led to profound modification of the land surface. We then explain how changes in land surface properties can affect regional meteorological fields such as surface and air temperature, wind speed and PBL height. We go on to demonstrate how those changes in meteorology due to land surface modification can in turn affect air pollutant concentrations via different mechanisms. While there are a number of studies that have investigated the impacts of land surface changes on regional meteorology,limited studies have quantified the impact of land surface changes on regional air quality, especially for the Southern California region, which has a history of severe air pollutant problems. In addition, recent studies have made it possible to utilize satellite land surface data in model simulations, which better predict regional weather in urbanized regions, and urban versus nonurban differences. Thus, our study adopts the modified model configuration, and aims to characterize the influence of historical urbanization on urban meteorology and air quality in Southern California.

1.工厂的污染物的排放可以通过EPA的网站下载 Air pollutant emissions from large U.S. power plants are tracked hourly by EPA’s continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) database (https://ampd.epa.gov/ampd/).

2.评估自上而下的NOx排放量的不确定性,通过bootstrapping方法来进行评估 In order to quantify the uncertainty associated with the topdown NOX estimates, we use a bootstrapping technique to evaluate the sensitivity of the estimates to the selection of days.In this method, we randomly replace entire daily TROPOMI scenes with scenes from other days. We perform this random replacement 100 times to generate a distribution of estimates around the mean top-down NOX estimates. NOX bottom-up emissions data can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/airemissions-inventories/air-pollutant-emissions-trends-data. Annual CEMS data from power plants can be downloaded here: https://ampd.epa.gov/ampd/.

1.CMAQv5.3中存在一个BCON时间步长的问题——要求输入数据为逐小时的时间步长,因此Mozart2camx得到的6小时一次的边界场无法被CMAQv5.3读取. From Christian Hogrefe (US EPA), any CMAQ version other than CMAQv5.3 does not require BC files to have hourly time steps. CMAQv5.3 did have that limitation but it was addressed in CMAQv5.3.1.

1.Python利用xlrd读取excel文件报错:raise XLRDError(FILE_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS[file_format]+’; not supported’). 这是因为xlrd的高版本跟pandas里的支持不对应导致的,通过以下命令降低版本即可: pip install xlrd==1.2.0 boto3

2021.1.4

1.当FNL数据因为垂直层更新而导致无法完成连续模拟的时候,可采取如下解决办法: 利用WPS/util目录下的mod_levs.exe程序可以将ungrib出的中间文件移除某些垂直层次使之一致。具体做法是在namelist.wps中添加:

&mod_levs press_pa = 201300 , 200100 , 100000 , 95000 , 90000 , 85000 , 80000 , 75000 , 70000 , 65000 , 60000 , 55000 , 50000 , 45000 , 40000 , 35000 , 30000 , 25000 , 20000 , 15000 , 10000 , 5000 , 1000 /

press_pa就是你想保留的垂直层次(其余的层次会被移除) 然后链接mod_levs.exe到wps目录下,运行: ./mod_levs.exe FILE:2016-05-11_18 new_FILE:2016-05-11_18 再修改&metgrid中fg_name=’new_FILE’即可。

1.利用CDO裁剪nc文件里的区域
cdo sellonlatbox,60,160,0,60 IASI_NH3_9yr_AM.nc china.nc

2021.1.20

1.关于CMAQ中的SOA yield的解释:
SOA yields vary as a function of time of day because the chemical pathways leading to SOA vary during the day. See the schematic from the v5.3 release notes for a summary of pathways in CMAQ: CMAQ/aero7_overview.md at master · USEPA/CMAQ · GitHub. All those pathways are active at all times of day to varying degrees. You can find the manuscripts documenting SOA development here: https://www.epa.gov/cmaq/how-cite-cmaq#Particle_Microphysics_and_Chemistry. Many of the development papers include plots of typical diurnal variation for each system.

1.关于RCP8.5情景的详细表述
To answer the question of how much temperatures in US cities will change by 2050, we looked at the average summer high and winter low temperatures in 1,000 cities in the continental US, comparing recorded and modeled temperatures from 1986 to 2015 to projections for 2036 to 2065. This offers us the best possible estimate on how much winters and summers will shift from 2000 to 2050.

With help from researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, we built our analysis on the Localized Constructed Analogs data set, which draws on 32 different global climate models. The scenario we examined is known as Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5, one standardized set of assumptions of humanity’s trajectory in the coming years.

RCP 8.5 presumes that the world will continue increasing energy use at the same rate and in the same forms. It predicts the world will have warmed on average by 2°C, or 3.6°F, by roughly 2040.

There are very legitimate criticisms of RCP 8.5 — that it’s too pessimistic, ignores progress we’ve already made on decarbonization, and majorly overestimates how much coal we’ll burn. But two climate scientists we spoke to, Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick at the University of New South Wales, and Kate Marvel at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, argued it was a realistic scenario for now.

Scientists have also examined the future of the global climate presuming the world takes moderate to aggressive action to curb greenhouse gas emissions. But emissions over the past 10 years track reasonably well with RCP 8.5, so it’s a useful marker, establishing the boundaries of the worst-case scenario for the climate.

We averaged annual temperature and rainfall patterns for 30 years (1986-2015) to establish a climate baseline for cities. This average helps eliminate year-to-year variations in the climate like El Niño cycles, isolating the changes wrought by human activity. We then examined how these cities would warm by 2050, again averaging over 30 years (2036-2065). We limited our focus to the contiguous United States, where we had the best data and the most relevant cities for comparison. (Sorry, Alaska and Hawaii.)

There are some other caveats to this analysis. Temperature and precipitation are just two variables out of dozens that define a climate, so there will be many other shifts, including frequency and severity of extreme weather, that matter to people’s day-to-day lives. “The timing and total rainfall of the rainy season really matter for agriculture,” said Marvel. “What matters for city dwellers is the increase in precipitation extremes.”

The climate data used here is also a global projection that’s been downscaled, so some precision is lost when looking at smaller sections of the planet, like cities.

1.Linux下rename命令的使用 假设在路径C:/下存在多个类似以下的文件名:
file_nall_abc1.txt file_nall_abc2.txt file_nall_abc3.txt file_nall_abc4.txt 现批量去除文件名中的字符串“all”,变成如下形式:
file_n_abc1.txt file_n_abc2.txt file_n_abc3.txt file_n_abc4.txt 只需要用到rename命令,命令行如下:
rename all_a _a file_nall_abc*.txt

1.在无锡超算上的2个账号之间快速传输文件可使用如下命令

注意首先在2个账号的目标路径下分别pwd首先得知各自的绝对路径 然后参考如下命令

scp -r /GFPS8p/xyyang/wk/scp/2018 zhanggq@bsn001:/GFPS8p/zhanggq/FNL/2018

预报场、初始场是相对于数值预报积分而言,比如3月19日00时刻的气象要素值作为数值模式的初始场(即初值),数值模式积分积分12小时到19日12时,得到预报场(即数值预报的结果)。而分析场、背景场是相对资料同化而言,资料同化需要一个第一猜值场,即背景场,这个背景场往往是模式的预报场,而资料同化得到的值是一个分析场,把这个分析场用做初始场去给模式做初值。 简单而言,模式中的预报场可以用来做资料同化的背景场,而资料同化的分析场用来做模式的初始场

  1. wrfout的绘图与shp对不上。原因是读取经纬度的二维数据有问题,在此做一个记录: 原来的错误读法: lat2d = wrf_user_getvar(a, “XLAT”, it)
    lon2d = wrf_user_getvar(a, “XLONG”, it)
    lat = lat2d(:,0)
    lon = lon2d(0,:)
    u10!0 = “lat”
    u10!1 = “lon”
    u10&lat = lat
    u10&lon = lon
    后来改正的读法:
    minlat = min(lat2d)
    maxlat = max(lat2d)
    minlon = min(lon2d)
    maxlon = max(lon2d)
    hgt@lat2d = lat2d
    hgt@lon2d = lon2d
