109年微脈衝雷射雷達系統操作維護及資料解析專案計畫

Project Details

Description

The important achievements from this project are listed as follows:• We continued to cooperate with NASA MPLNET. We used online meeting with the chair of MPLNET and the main engineering staff for discussing data retrieval techniques, inspecting Asian reference station, calibrating the WFR equipment, and educating the techniques on calibrating and replacing components. We also hold the training course for stations and equipment maintenance.• To enhance International collaboration between Taiwan and the US, NASA MPLNET Dr. Welton provides an official letter to declare the EPA-NCU site has been selected as a reference station to support MPLNET sites over Asia.• We set up all the Micro-pulse lidar systems in EPA-NCU - Asian reference station during summer, including cleaning up the instrument, testing the function of instruments, and collecting inter-comparison data with standard systems for the annual maintenance. We also built and executed the operation and maintenance of four stations in Taiwan.• We offered the phased planning of Taiwan Micro-Pulse Lidar Monitoring Network. We also provided advices about Micro-pulse lidar systems and sun photometers, evaluation of related equipment, and environmental safety information about the stations.• We had executed the AP/DC calibration and data QA/QC procedure on schedule to ensure the availability and stability of MPL data. The MPL data has been posted to webpages and database real time and update to EPA server simultaneously.• We applied a statistical method to define the high pollution events in this year and set up a database for case studies. We systematically analyze those pollution events with observational data obtained from EPA MPL system and air quality monitoring stations in Taiwan. We explained the causes of high pollution events based on multiscale analysis including vertical and horizontal distribution of particulate matters and meteorological conditions. The results from those case studies significantly improve our understanding on the air quality deterioration.
