项目摘要

This collaborative project seeks to improve understanding of precipitation processes in mixed phase orographic clouds and the variation in the isotopic signature of snowfall that is associated with aerosol effects on cloud microphysics. The study will use measurements and modeling of the isotopic content of water vapor, cloud water, and snow at the Desert Research Institute's (DRI's) Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL, altitude 3210 m) to test the hypotheses that: 1) variations in the isotopic composition of snow associated with riming and riming inhibition are significant; and 2) the isotopic composition and chemistry of cloud droplets near cloud base and falling snow are sufficient to resolve the relative roles of vapor deposition and riming in snow growth. Model simulations with a new isotope-enabled version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model will be used to test observation-based inferences on snow formation by riming and vapor deposition, the altitudes at which they occur, and the effects of variation of aerosol concentration on the isotopic composition of snowfall. The sensitivity of the isotopic composition of snowfall to aerosol-induced changes in the rimed mass fraction will be evaluated with model simulations over a range of aerosol concentration based on observational case studies representing a variety of meteorological and synoptic conditions during wintertime storms at SPL.Intellectual Merit: Riming of ice crystals in wintertime orographic clouds significantly enhances their water content and the amount of water deposited in snowfall. The isotopic composition of precipitation at a given location reflects local cloud processes as well as the history of upwind condensation, evaporation and mixing. In the work, the impact of aerosol-induced changes in mixed phase orographic clouds on the isotopic content of snowfall will be explored. Inhibition of snow growth by riming due to aerosol-induced reduction of cloud droplet size has been observed in wintertime storms at SPL. Broader Impact: The contribution of isotope-enabled microphysical models to the WRF community during this project will allow for broader application of these methodologies in studies of general circulation and the water cycle. The isotopic signal recorded in glacial ice has been used as a proxy record of past climates. Low-level riming over glacial ice may contribute to a component of the isotopic signal that is independent of global temperature. This project involves the participation and training of graduate students from DRI and Harvard in the field program and modeling studies. During the field experiment season, SPL will host atmospheric science field courses from the University of Wisconsin, North Carolina State University, and the University of Colorado for undergraduate and graduate students. As part of this work, a series of lectures will be presented to each of these classes on the use of isotopic signatures in environmental science. Reports on SPL research projects have appeared on CNN, NBC, National Public Radio, National Geographic Explorer, local television stations, in newspapers across the U.S., and the NCAR EOL Channel (http://tinyurl.com/ISPAscience). SPL is integrally involved in the Steamboat Weather Summit of meteorologists from television stations around the country. These activities will coincide with the winter field study at SPL and a talk on this work will be presented at the Weather Summit. The investigators will also present a community lecture in Steamboat Springs and an "open house" at SPL to share the scientific motivation of this research. Finally, a curriculum developed to provide middle school students with hand-on learning focused on meteorology and climate will continue with the project and have classes observe weather balloons launches during the field study.
这个合作项目旨在提高对混合相地形云的降水过程的理解,以及与气溶胶对云微物理学影响有关的降雪同位素特征的变化。 这项研究将使用沙漠研究所(DRI)风暴峰实验室的水蒸气、云水和雪的同位素含量的测量和建模(SPL,海拔3210 m),以检验以下假设:1)与霜化和霜化抑制相关的雪同位素组成的变化是显著的; 2)云底附近云滴和降雪的同位素组成和化学性质足以解释气相沉积和雾凇在雪生长中的相对作用。使用新的同位素版本的天气研究和预报(WRF)模型进行的模型模拟将用于测试基于观测的关于霜化和蒸汽沉积的雪形成的推断,它们发生的高度,以及气溶胶浓度变化对降雪同位素组成的影响。降雪的同位素组成对气溶胶引起的镶边质量分数变化的敏感性将通过基于SPL冬季风暴期间各种气象和天气条件的观测案例研究的一系列气溶胶浓度范围内的模型模拟进行评估。冰晶在冬季地形云的边缘显着增加其含水量和降雪中沉积的水量。 在一个给定的位置,降水的同位素组成反映了当地的云过程以及逆风凝结,蒸发和混合的历史。在这项工作中,将探讨气溶胶引起的混合相地形云变化对降雪同位素含量的影响。 由于气溶胶引起的云滴大小的减小,在SPL的冬季风暴中,已经观察到了霜化对雪生长的抑制作用。 更广泛的影响:在本项目期间,同位素微物理模型对WRF社区的贡献将使这些方法在大气环流和水循环研究中得到更广泛的应用。 记录在冰川冰中的同位素信号已被用作过去气候的代用记录。低水平的冰川冰可能有助于同位素信号的组成部分,是独立的全球温度。该项目涉及DRI和哈佛的研究生在现场项目和建模研究中的参与和培训。 在野外实验季节,SPL将为本科生和研究生举办威斯康星州大学、北卡罗来纳州州立大学和科罗拉多大学的大气科学野外课程。 作为这项工作的一部分,一系列的讲座将提交给这些类在环境科学中使用同位素签名。关于SPL研究项目的报道出现在CNN、NBC、国家公共广播电台、国家地理探险家、地方电视台、美国各地的报纸上,和NCAR EOL频道(http://tinyurl.com/ISPAscience)。SPL整体参与了来自全国各地电视台的气象学家的汽船天气峰会。这些活动将与SPL的冬季实地研究相吻合,并将在天气峰会上发表关于这项工作的演讲。研究人员还将在汽船泉举办社区讲座,并在SPL举办“开放日”,分享这项研究的科学动机。最后,为中学生提供侧重于气象和气候的实践学习而开发的课程将继续进行该项目,并在实地研究期间让班级观察气象气球的发射。
