Abstract

Abstract

In order to study the concentration and variation characteristics of halocarbon in the atmosphere over the Tibetan Plateau, the concentration variation of halocarbon at background site Namco station (4730m a. s. l.) in the summer of 2020 was measured by preconcentrator-GC/MS method. The influence of transport and potential source area on halocarbons was analyzed by using the HYSPLIT model. The results showed that the main halocarbons in the atmosphere of Namco station were methane chloride (3.81×10^-10), CFC-11 (2.32×10^-10), CFC-113 (8.60×10^-11), tetrachloromethane (9.30×10^-11) and dichloromethane (6.80×10^-11). The concentrations of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) at Namco were close to or lower than other global background values. There was no distinct diurnal variation in the concentration of main halocarbon compounds. The concentrations of CFC-11 and CFC-113 were significantly correlated (r=0.928, P<0.01) and might be affected by transfer of atmospheric background. The wide variation range of CFC-11 and CFC-113 in Namco station was consistent with the characteristics of other high-altitude background sites, while it was obviously greater them the results in plain areas. Except for CFC-11 and CFC-13, the diurnal variation amplitude of other halocarbons was small, without obvious diurnal variation characteristics. The results of the HYSPLIT model indicated that the concentration of tetrachloromethane might be influenced by the transport of the surrounding area, the concentration of halocarbon at Namco station was mainly affected by western Asia during the sampling period, and the concentration of chloromethane might be influenced by the surrounding marine natural sources.
