摘要

We apply a novel experimental procedure for the rapid measurement of theaverage volume mixing ratios (VMRs) and horizontal distributions of tracegases such as NO2, SO2, and HCHO in the boundary layer, which wasrecently suggested by Sinreich et al. (2013). The method is based ontwo-dimensional scanning multi-axis differential optical absorptionspectroscopy (MAX-DOAS). It makes use of two facts (Sinreich et al., 2013):first, the light path for observations at 1° elevation angletraverses mainly air masses located close to the ground (typically < 200 m); second, the light path length can be calculated using thesimultaneous measured absorption of the oxygen dimer O4. Thus, theaverage value of the trace gas VMR in the atmospheric layer between thesurface and the particular altitude, for which this observation was sensitive, can becalculated. Compared to the originally proposed method, we introduce severalimportant modifications and improvements: We apply the method only tomeasurements at 1° elevation angle (besides zenith view), forwhich the uncertainties of the retrieved values of the VMRs and surfaceextinctions are especially small. Using only 1° elevation angle foroff-axis observation also allows an increased temporal resolution. Wedetermine (and apply) correction factors (and their uncertainties) directlyas function of the measured O4 absorption. Finally, the method isextended to trace gases analysed at other wavelengths and also to theretrieval of aerosol extinction. Depending on atmosphericvisibility, the typical uncertainty of the results ranges from about 20%to 30%.We apply the rapid method to observations of a newly-developed ground-basedmultifunctional passive differential optical absorption spectroscopy(GM-DOAS) instrument in the north-west outskirts near Hefei in China.We report NO2, SO2, and HCHO VMRs and aerosol extinction for fourazimuth angles and compare these results with those from simultaneouslong-path DOAS observations. Good agreement is found (squares of thecorrelation coefficients for NO2, SO2, and HCHO were 0.92, 0.85,and 0.60, respectively), verifying the reliability of this novel method.Similar agreement is found for the comparison of the aerosol extinction withresults from visibility meters. Future studies may conduct measurementsusing a larger number of azimuth angles to increase the spatial resolution.
