Evaluating parameterization schemes of dinitrogen pentoxide heterogeneous processes in the presence of organic coatings for size-resolved nitrate simulations over North China
The heterogeneous reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) is an important pathway for the nighttime formation of nitrate and its parameterization especially in the presence of organic coatings (considering phase changes) is complicated. In this study, an updated combination of inorganic core (Davis08) - organic shell (Gaston14 and Riemer09) parameterization schemes for N2O5 hydrolysis was embedded into the Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry to discuss the simulated differences of and organic coating impacts on size-resolved N2O5 uptake coefficients and nitrate in North China, which have not been reported. All the three size-resolved N2O5 uptake coefficients had significant spatiotemporal variations, with a largest value in size bin 2 (156–625 nm). The values in the eastern coastal and relatively clean areas were generally larger than those in inland and polluted areas due to variations of relative humidity (RH), and were suppressed in nitrate dominated areas. Scheme Riemer09 is related to the thickness of SOA (secondary organic aerosol) package (l/Rp) and produced at least 2 μg/m3 of nitrate inhibition in regions where l/Rp ≥ 0.08 fit (the uptake coefficient of inorganic core) ≥ 1 × 10−2. Scheme Gaston14 considers the effects of ambient RH and SOA phase; in those areas where RH was greater than 70 %, the coating effect simulated by scheme Gaston14 was relatively small; when low RH (<40 %) and low O:C ratios (<0.48) coexisted, scheme Gaston14 had a significant coating effect, leading to its simulated nitrate being ∼4 μg/m3 lower than the simulation of scheme Riemer09. The two coating schemes showed a similar vertical trend, with a maximum difference of 15 % of the heterogeneous produced nitrate in size bin 2 in the polluted areas at the height of ∼240m. Scheme Gaston14 exhibited greater advantages under complex meteorological and aerosol conditions.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Environment has an open access mirror journal Atmospheric Environment: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.
