Suppose that there is only molecules without aerosol above and below the clouds, the transmittance and optical thickness of clouds can be retrieved from lidar data, and the lidar ratio of clouds. Analysis was performed on the clouds data acquired from 532nm lidar of Hampton University. Observation was performed from January to October 2007. 798 samples with optical thickness between 0.08 and 1.5 were selected. Results show that cirrus clouds observed are mostly in 7~13.5 km altitudes. The lidar ratio is 21.4sr in average, the change of the lidar ratio with season is not obvious, the probability distribution function of lidar ratio appears normal distribution feature. The probability distribution function of optical thickness indicates that most clouds are thin clouds..

HoweveThree dimensional excitation-emission fluorescence spectra characteristics of influent and effluent from urban domestic sewage treatment plant were analyzed combined with PARAFAC model. The results indicated that urban sewage has four fluorescence centers. The 1 and 2 fluorescent center of influent were obvious. However, 3 and 4 fluorescence centers were blurry. All the four fluorescence centers of effluent were quite obvious. Combining PARAFAC model, both the influent and effluent contain three kinds of fluorescence compositions, which are tryptophan-like、 tyrosine-like and fulvic-like. The scoring values of three kinds of fluorescent compositions can be used as another fluorescence feature of urban sewage. According to the scoring values, tryptophan-like and tyrosine-like are unstable in both influent and effluent, but fulvic-like is relatively stable..

However, the slant column density are retrieved instead of vertical column density recently, which results in emission flux computing error. Combined with the MAX-DOAS, a mobile multi light DOAS system, which set two different elevation angle telescopes(90, 30) to receive the scattered light respectively in the mobile platform, was deployed. The slant column density in the two different viewing directions were detected, and combined with the air mass factor computing from radiative transfer model, the vertical column density of trace gas was obtained. Comparison of the current mobile single light (zenith direction) DOAS system, the mobile multi light DOAS system have a lot of advantages like high sensitivity, low uncertainty etc. A test experiment was performed in a power plant of Huainan, Anhui using the new technique. The distribution information of NO2 vertical column density along the route was derived and compared with the slant column density calculating from the zenith direction, a good agreement was found in the column density trends..

Using area-average sensible heat fluxes measured with the large aperture scintillometer(LAS), in addition to the net radiation obtained with net radiometers, the latent and soil heat fluxes can be calculated with energy balance equations. Field tests showed there was a good agreement between sensible heat fluxes obtainUsing area-average sensible heat fluxes measured with the large aperture scintillometer(LAS), in addition to the net radiation obtained with net radiometers, the latent and soil heat fluxes can be calculated with energy balance equations. Field tests showed there was a good agreement between sensible heat fluxes obtained from an LAS and an EC system. The correlation coefficient was better than 0.8 for daytime in plant canopies. The sensible heat decreased, whereas the evaporation on the surface of the canopy attained its maximum at midday. For applications in which accuracy and area-average are of critical importance for agricultural meteorology, the LAS would be a better choice..
