תיאור
Resumen:Aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing critically influence Earth’s climate, particularly in semi-arid regions. This study investigates these properties in Yinchuan, Northwest China, focusing on aerosol optical depth (AOD), single-scattering albedo (SSA), Ångström Index, and direct radiative forcing (DRF) using 2023 CE-318 sun photometer data, HYSPLIT trajectory analysis, and the SBDART model. Spring AOD peaks at 0.58 ± 0.15 (500 nm) due to desert dust, with coarse-mode particles dominating, while summer SSA reaches 0.94, driven by fine-mode aerosols. Internal mixing of dust and anthropogenic aerosols significantly alters DRF through enhanced absorption, with spring surface DRF at −101 ± 22W m−2 indicating strong cooling and internal mixing increasing atmospheric DRF to 52.25W m−2. These findings elucidate dust–anthropogenic interactions’ impact on optical properties and radiative forcing, offering critical observations for semi-arid climate research.
