Abstract:Using the observational data of Jing'an Forest Experimental Base in 2019, the characteristics of negative air ion concentration variation at different time scales were analyzed in this paper. Besides, the correlation between the concentration and meteorological factors, as well as the influence of different weather conditions on it were also provided. The results showed that the annual average concentration of negative air ions in Jing'an was 2 187個(gè)/cm3, of which the highest concentration was 2 910個(gè)/cm3 in summer, and the lowest was 1 756個(gè)/cm3 in autumn. In addition, seasonal differences of concentrations can be seen in the characteristics of diurnal variation, with the peak of spring, summer, autumn and winter appeared at around 10:00 BST, 06:00 BST, 09:00 BST and 13:00 BST, respectively. On the daily scale, significant positive correlation can be seen between the negative air ion concentration and the temperature, precipitation and relative humidity, while on the monthly scale, the concentration is only significantly positively correlated with the precipitation. The concentration of negative air ions in rainy days was higher than that in sunny days. The peak concentrations in spring, summer, autumn and winter appeared at 7-9 h, 7-15 h, 9 h and 9-11 h after the onset of rainfall, respectively. When the precipitation was 0-10 mm, it had no obvious effect on the concentration of negative air ions, and then the concentration of negative air ions increased with the gradual increase of precipitation. The concentration of negative air ions showed a downward trend during rainstorm.
