英文摘要 | Iceland contributes 30–40 million tons of mineral dust to the atmosphere each year. Emission events are linked to exceedingly high concentrations of PM10, poor air quality, and respiratory disease, particularly in Reykjavík. Volcaniclastic aerosols have unique microphysical properties, and usually are porous and highly angular, with large surface areas bearing ultrafine, nanoscale dustcoats. The large internal void space contributes to low particle density, believed to affect emission and deposition rates in the atmospheric boundary layer, as well as the range of transport. However, the aerodynamic and sedimentological factors that govern dust entrainment in these high-latitude settings are not well constrained empirically, providing little guidance for the parameterization of aerosol dispersion models. A series of laboratory wind tunnel simulations were carried out under full climate control to evaluate these effects for Icelandic samples collected from five active dust sources, inclusive of volcanic ash and glaciofluvial sediments. PM10 emission rates measured in this study are similar in magnitude to those obtained in a small number of field studies within selected high-latitude regions, and for volcanic ash using a PI-SWERL. The scaling with friction velocity is well described by the 1988 dust emission model of Gillette and Passi, while the parameterization appears to be strongly dependent on the median particle size. Sediments from the coarsest Icelandic dust sources were found to be most emissive, owing to the importance of particle impact, while the proportionate amount of PM10 within the test bed was not found to correlate with the emission rate. ©2020.
