摘要

We report here on combined meteorological and chemical trace-gas observations made from two levels of a skyscraper in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. These observations were made as part the U.S. Department of Energy's Phoenix Sunrise Campaign in June 2001. The focus of this campaign was to study the early morning chemical and meteorological transition period as an urban atmosphere develops from a stable to a convec-tive state. The measurements to be presented here were designed to evaluate changes to the concentration of NO_x, VOCs, PAN and other photochemically active species at sunrise concurrent with the onset of mixing and chemistry. The Bank One observations were one component of an extensive set of meteorological observations and supporting air chemistry measurements designed to characterize the vertical structure of the lower urban atmosphere (Figure 1), as described in Doran, et al. (2002). Additional measurements were available above the surface through a series of aircraft observations taken at approximately 300, 500, and 700 m AGL. Thus, the Bank One building provided two intermediate sampling levels within a much larger network of observations. The motivation for this campaign developed from studies in other urban areas that found peak ozone values above the surface layer appeared to play an important role in governing the surface ozone concentrations in the early morning. The conceptual model for the design of our field campaign hinged on the development of a nocturnal stable layer via cooling at night. Phoenix was selected as a study site because of its heavy pre-dawn traffic, which is a common occurrence as workers schedule their days to avoid high daytime temperatures. As a result of this traffic we expected to find a rich mixture of emissions trapped close to the ground (below 200 m AGL) at sunrise. This rich mixture would be decoupled from air aloft at sunrise, which was expected to have its own unique chemical mix. With the onset of sunrise and surface warming, these two layers would mix together, diluting surface pollutants into a deeper layer, and bringing air aloft down to the surface. Sampling at two levels of a skyscraper was an ideal way to quantify this process. Measurements were made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the period from June 16-30. Observations made during the early morning hours at the 39th floor (~139 m AGL) were expected to be made above the nocturnal stable layer, while measurements made at the 16th floor (at ~73m AGL) would be within this layer at sunrise. We decided not to sample directly at street level so as to avoid contamination from idling vehicles or other very localized sources. As the day developed, we anticipated that observations from the 16th floor would measure changes associated with dilution as the mixed layer became deeper. In contrast, observations from the 39th floor were anticipated to characterize the chemistry above the nocturnal stable layer and the chemistry associated with the subsequent upward mixing of surface emissions.
