Goal
• Study the holiday effect over the Taipei Metropolitan area.
• Holiday effect
• The statistically significant differences of variables between holiday and non-holiday periods.
The weekend effect 週末效應• Stock market
• Disease, syndrome
Introduction (1)• Weekend effect of air pollutants
• Gaseous pollutants such as NOx, CO, VOCs 揮發性有機物 or NMHC 非甲烷碳氫化合物 , and SO2 higher on weekdays than on weekends
(e.g., Bronnimann and Neu 1997; Beirle et al. 2003; Qin et al. 2004; Riga-Karandinos and Saitanis 2005; Steinbacher et al. 2005; Riga-Karandinos et al. 2006)
• Particulate pollutants such as PM10, PM2.5, PM1, and black carbon higher on weekdays than on weekends
(Morawska et al. 2002; Madhavi Latha and Badarinath 2003) .
污染來源• 氣狀污染物• 粒狀污染物• NOx, CO, NMHC, O3, SO2, PM10
Introduction (2)• O3: major secondary air pollutant a more complex distribution• Lower on weekdays than weekends
(e.g., Cleveland et al. 1974; Lebron 1975; Bronnimann and Neu 1997; Diem 2000; Qin et al. 2004; Riga-Karandinos and Saitanis 2005; Tsai 2005; Riga-Karandinos et al. 2006)
• Higher on weekdays than weekends (Bronnimann and Neu 1997; Diem 2000)
• ?? O3 precursor substances, such as NOx and NMHC, are decreased on weekends, while O3 is simultaneously increased.
Introduction (3)• Several hypotheses for O3 weekend effect (California Air R
esources Board, 2003). (1) nonlinear relation between O3 and its precursors: lower N
Ox on weekends a faster ozone production rate in NOx-saturated (VOC-limited) areas
(2) NO titration effect (NO 滴定效應 ): lower NOx less ozone destruction on weekends, ozone↑, O3 + NO NO2+O2
(3) aerosol and UV radiation: on weekends, aerosol ↓ sunshine↑ ozone↑(4) NOx timing: delayed weekend traffic patterns and stronger sunshine ozone↑(5) carry-over emissions: higher traffic volumes on Friday evenings than on weekends more O3 precursors on weekends
Introduction (4)• Weekend effect of meteorological parameters• Diurnal temperature range, DTR (Forster and Solomon
2003; Gong et al. 2006a)日溫差• dayily minimum temperature, Tmin (Forster and Solom
on 2003)最高溫• dayily maximum temperature, Tmax (Gong et al., 2006
a)最低溫• daily precipitation frequency (Gong et al., 2006b)• annual precipitation and tropical cyclonic mean maximu
m wind speed (Cerveny and Balling 1998)• seasonal rainfall, seasonal maximum and minimum tem
perature (Simmonds and Keay 1997)• visibility (Tsai 2005)能見度
• Most weekend-weekday differences are statistically significant, but their sign might be opposite for different regions or seasons (Forster and Solomon 2003, Gong et al. 2006a), and are attributed to anthropogenic influences (Cerveny and Balling 1998; Forster and Solomon 2003).

Introduction (5)
• Weekend effect: a useful tool to detect the influence of human-related activities on the environment and climate system.
• Other similar effects, such as “holiday effect”, provide a possibility to study such phenomena for regions not showing a clear weekend effect.

Conclusions (1)• Holiday effect of air pollutant concentrations was fo
und over the Taipei Metropolitan area.– Daily (24-h)mean, diurnal cycle and interannual variation
• NOx, CO, NMHC, SO2 and PM10: CNY< NCNY
• O3: CNY > NCNY
• The diurnal cycles of the differences of O3, total oxidants and NOx between the CNY and NCNY periods NO titration effect is more important
Conclusions (2)• 1994-2006
• NOx and CO: negative trends in NCNY
• SO2 and PM10: positive trends in CNY
Holiday effect is weakening.
• The long-range transport of dust
SO2 and PM10 in CNY and NCNY
stronger impact in CNY due to cleaner air in CNY.
Conclusions (3)• It involved a great movement of people and
motor vehicles before and after the CNY period, the observed holiday effect provided evidence of the impact of human activity on ambient air quality.
• Holiday effect in other countries with similar national or cultural holidays.

– Radiosonde measurement of Banqiao station (00Z, 12Z)
• Tmax, Tmin, Tavg, DTR
• cloud cover, sunshine hour, sunshine rate,
• global solar radiation, rainfall, visibility
• Vertical profile of temperature

CWB radiosonde measurement
• In average, warmer atmosphere in the NCNY than CNY period.
• atmospheric stability dT/dz
• 1000-500mb
• NCNY: -4.73 /km℃• CNY : -4.89 /km (C℃

Conclusions (2)• Compared to CNY, in the NCNY• Semi-direct effect
– aerosol (PM10)↑, absorbed solar radiation ↑, warmer atmosphere, stability ↑, convection↓, cloud cover↓, sunshine hour ↑, sunshine rate ↑, Tmax ↑, DTR ↑
– aerosol in Taipei, SSA 0.76-0.79, many light-absorbed aerosols, ≒Shiu (2008)

aerosol (PM10)↑, CCN ↑, cloud cover ↑ but cloud cover↓
Conclusions
• Semi-direct radiation effect– Sounding data– ……..
CWB radiosonde measurement
• In average, warmer atmosphere in the NCNY period.
• But, the standard deviation is large if viewed year by year.
• Not a strong evidence.
