以大气RH(相对湿度)为基准对上海2005─2009年大气质量和气象资料的日均观测资料进行了分类统计,分析了RH与ρ(PM10)、大气能见度的相关关系.结果表明:在将RH以5%的间隔进行分段后,各区段ρ(PM10)平均值与RH平均值呈显著线性负相关,R(相关系数)达0.97;随着RH增大,大气能见度随ρ(PM10)变化率的绝对值增大;RH在75%以上时,增加相同的ρ(PM10)所导致的大气能见度下降量是RH在40%~45%时的5倍以上;RH小于75%时,大气能见度可较好地反映ρ(PM10)的变化,而RH大于75%时,大气能见度的降低主要反映PM10含水量的快速增加而并不指示ρ(PM10)的增加.
The relationships among relative humidity,PM10 mass concentration and atmospheric visibility were investigated using reorganized daily air quality and meteorological data for Shanghai during 2005-2009.When the data were sorted and averaged over 5% intervals of relative humidity,a strong negative correlation(R=0.97) was found between PM10 concentration and relative humidity.It was found that the rate of change of visibility versus PM10 increased with increasing relative humidity.With relative humidity above 75%,the visibility degradation caused by the increase of a certain amount of PM10 was five times higher than that at 40%-45% relative humidity.When the relative humidity was below 75%,the expected negative correlation was found between visibility and PM10 concentration.However,when the relative humidity was higher than 75%,visibility degradation mainly indicated the rapid increase of water uptake by the particles,which may not be a real indication of the increase in PM10 concentration.
