摘要:

对内陆高寒山区的天山南坡科其喀尔冰川末端夏季降水进行采样,在分析各离子浓度、电导率和pH值的基础上,利用因子分析、富集因子及后向轨迹法,探讨区域降水的溶质来源及控制因素。结果表明:(1) 科其喀尔冰川末端大气降水的pH值介于7.15~8.52,整体偏弱碱性,阴、阳离子分别受HCO3-和Ca2+支配,属于典型HCO3-Ca型。白天降水的电导率和总离子浓度较夜间分别偏高11.56%和9.40%,这可能是在山谷风或冰川风作用下,塔里木盆地内气溶胶物质随近地层风从山麓地带与平原区迁移到研究区后湿沉降所致。(2) 降水离子主要来自地壳源物质补给,占总离子量的85.54%。其中HCO3-、Ca2+和Mg2+主要受侏罗系沉积层和第四系黄土沉积层中碳酸盐岩(CaxMg1-xCO3)风化补给,Cl-、SO42-、Na+和K+主要受中亚与塔里木盆地因干旱而发育的盐湖(咸水湖)蒸发或冲积/洪积作用形成的盐土风化补给。降水中仅有41.52%的Na+和96.22%的Cl-源自海洋源,且二者浓度之比为2.13:1,表明海洋源气团在长距离输送过程中明显地受到降水再蒸发作用和地表物质风蚀等因素的影响,导致海洋源补给量仅占降水总离子的4.87%。源自人类活动补给的溶质约是海洋源的2倍,以NH4+、NO3-和SO42-为主,可为高寒山区土壤形成和植被生长提供必要的氮、硫元素。(3) 气团后向轨迹追踪表明,西风环流对天山南坡降水及化学组成影响非常显著,形成降水的频次和降水量平均分别占64.35%和53.04%,其降水的离子总浓度虽然仅为局地环流的69.91%,但NO3-浓度平均为局地环流降水的1.42倍,间接表明塔里木盆地空气与水源质量可能受到中亚人类活动的影响。

Abstract:

Atmospheric precipitation was sampled in the summer at the end of the Koxkar Glacier, Tianshan Mountains, China. Based on analyses of the ion concentration, conductivity, and pH characteristics, we explored the solute sources and control factors for regional precipitation using factor analysis, enrichment factors, and backward trajectory tracking. Atmospheric precipitation was slightly alkaline, with a pH between 7.15 and 8.52, and their anions and cations were dominated by HCO3-and Ca2+, respectively, which belong to the typical HCO3-Ca type. The conductivity and total ion concentration of precipitation during the daytime were 11.56% and 9.40% higher, respectively, than those of the nighttime; this may be caused by the wet deposition of aerosol materials from the piedmont and plain areas with the near-surface wind under the action of valley wind or glacial wind during the daytime. Precipitation ions mainly originated from the supply of crustal source materials, accounting for 85.54% of the total ion content; among them, HCO3-, Ca2+, and Mg2+ were mainly supplied by carbonate rock weathering (CaxMg1-xCO3) in the Jurassic sedimentary layer and Quaternary loess sedimentary layer, whereas Cl-, SO42-, Na+, and K+ were mainly supplied by the evaporation of salt lakes caused by drought or the weathering of saline soil formed by alluvial/proluvial processes in Central Asia and the Tarim Basin. Only 41.52% of Na+ and 96.22% of Cl- in precipitation originated from ocean sources and salt lakes, and their concentration ratio was 2.13:1, indicating that ocean source air masses were affected by the precipitation reevaporation and wind erosion of surface materials during long-distance transportation; this resulted in ocean source recharge only accounting for 4.87% of the total precipitation ions. The solute supplied by human activities was approximately twice that of ocean sources, mainly NH4+,NO3-, and SO42-, which could provide the necessary nitrogen and sulfur for soil formation and alpine vegetation growth in the study area. Air mass backward trajectory tracking showed that westerly circulation had a significant impact on the precipitation and chemical composition in southern Xinjiang. The average proportion due to a water vapor source path and precipitation was 64.35% and 53.04% respectively. Although the total ion concentration in precipitation formed by westerly circulation accounted for only 69.91% of the local circulation, the average NO3-concentration was 1.42 times that of the local circulation precipitation, indicating that the air and water quality in the Tarim Basin may be affected by human activities in Central Asia.
