PG - 3749-3759 LID - 10.13227/j.hjkx.202208049 [doi] AB - The correlation between the growth rate of PM(2.5) with transport source, atmospheric circulation, and wind field were analyzed, focusing on the severe and above pollution process (SAAP) in Xingtai, Hebei Province from 2013 to 2021. The results showed that from 2013 to 2021, a total of 164 pollution processes and 103 SAAP occurred in Xingtai. In the ground circulation, although the probability occurrence of the inverted trough was low, the probability of pollution was the highest (61.1%), followed by the high-pressure control type (>50.0%). In the 500 hPa, the control of the straight westerly wind belt had the highest probability of severe and above pollution (20.7%), followed by the post-trough type (16.1%), with the highest occurrence frequency. In SAAP, the distribution of the PM(2.5) hourly growth rate (DeltaPM(2.5)) was mainly concentrated between +/-150 mug.(m(3).h)(-1), and the PM(2.5) hourly growth rate was positive (+DeltaPM(2.5)), contributing 61.7%. Among them, the average proportion of explosive growth was 13.9% (from 2013 to 2021), and the overall trend was decreasing annually. In the full wind speed, in terms of occurrence frequency and pollution probability, north-east (NE) was the wind direction most closely related to air pollution, especially severe and above pollution. The mean value of DeltaPM(2.5) in SAAP was lower than that of quiet wind in most wind directions. However, in some of the east-north (EN) and south-west (SW) wind direction intervals, the mean DeltaPM(2.5) in moderate wind speed was significantly higher than that of quiet wind (related to pollution transmission). The impact of larger wind speed on DeltaPM(2.5) was more complicated. The backward trajectories showed that the backward trajectories of slow, rapid, and explosive growth in SAAP could be divided into three main paths:west-north, east-north, and south. With the acceleration of the growth rate, the proportion of the west-north air mass gradually increased. The humidity (RH) of the slow-growth air mass was relatively large (more than 80% RH>50%), the relative humidity of the rapidly growing air mass was relatively concentrated (mainly distributed in 35%-55%), and the proportion of low-humidity (<50%) air masses increased significantly (by approximately 63%) in the explosive growth. The simulation analysis showed that the types of SAAP pollution could be divided into five categories:local accumulation, east-northern transmission, north-west transmission, mixed transmission, and south transmission. Among them, the proportion of mixed transmission was the highest, followed by that of the north-west transmission. The high and low-altitude configurations with the highest occurrence probability among the southerly transmission, the local accumulation type, and the north-easterly transport type were all high-altitude trough rear type combined with ground equalization field type. Among the north-westerly type, the high-pressure on the ground with the behind trough on high-altitude had the highest probability of occurrence. In mixed transmission, the probabilities of various circulation ratios were relatively balanced. FAU - Jiang, Qi AU - Jiang Q AD - National Meteorological Centre, Beijing 100081, China.
