Abstract

Based on the minute-level ground observation data from Lukou airport from 2011 to 2016, the temporal distribution characteristics of low visibility weather and the relationship between other meteorological factors and visibility were analyzed.The thresholds of weather factors in low visibility weather were established in order to get the early warning indexes of low visibility weather.It is found that in case of visibility lower than 2 000 m, the monthly average relative humidity are more than 90%, indicating that the low visibility of Lukou airport is mainly caused by the fog.Lukou airport visibility shows a obvious seasonal and sub-seasonal change, showing a double-peak and double-valley structure, April and July-August for the two peaks, June and December-January for the two valleys.The formation of this feature is closely related to the temperature, humidity and stratification of the surface atmosphere.Visibility distribution has a very obvious diurnal variation, with the lowest visibility in the morning and early morning, the highest visibility in the afternoon.The largest diurnal variation of the visibility happens in autumn, and the longest possible distribution of the low visibility happens in winter.It was found that the relationship between visibility and meteorological elements is complex and does not show some linear relationship.By analyzing the different levels of low visibility weather corresponding to the temperature, temperature dew point difference and the level of wind speed range, found that the temperature is different in different months, the temperature dew point difference and the level of wind speed is more stable.
