Abstract

Using the meteorological observation data of Shenyang National Basic Meteorological Station from 1961 to 2017 and the daily air quality monitoring data of Shenyang in 2013~2017, the variation characteristics of solar radiation and air quality, and the quantitative influence of air quality on the solar radiation reaching the ground were analyzed. The results show that the "brightening" of total solar radiation in Shenyang after 1990s was related to the increase of sunshine and atmospheric cleanliness, and had no linear correlation with total cloud cover and water vapor pressure. The seasonal characteristics of solar radiation and air quality are opposite. The total solar radiation was strong in spring, summer and early autumn, weak in late autumn and winter. The mass concentration of SO₂, NO₂, CO, PM₁₀, PM_2.5 and AQI index were low in spring, summer and early autumn, and high in late autumn and winter. In the case of little difference in meteorological factors, the air quality was the key factor affecting the solar radiation. The low mass concentration of SO₂, NO₂, CO, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 was one of the main reasons for the abnormal higher value of total solar radiation and direct radiation in Shenyang in 2017. In sunny days, the average attenuation of total solar radiation and direct radiation was 10% and 18% respectively in level 3 of the air quality compared with that in level 2 in Shenyang. Air pollution can result in 67% reduction in direct radiation and 34% reduction in total radiation in sunny days in the latter part of December. The decreasing influence of PM_2.5 on solar radiation was more obvious. The attenuation of the average direct solar radiation on sunny days with PM_2.5 as the primary pollutant was significantly greater than that with SO₂ and PM₁₀ as the primary pollutants. Although the daily average scattering radiation of PM_2.5 as the primary pollutant was greater than that with PM₁₀ as the primary pollutant, it was not enough to supplement the attenuation of the direct radiation, resulting in the total radiation attenuation.
