Abstract Aerosols over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) play an important role in the regional and global climate change and ecological environment. The Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research Program (STEP) carried out observation experiment at the Nam Co Station for Multisphere Observation and Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Nam Co Station, 30°46′N, 90°59′E, 4730 m) in the central TP from August 5 to September 11, 2020. This paper investigated the aerosol optical properties and its potential sources over Nam Co region. The main results are as follow: the average aerosol optical depth was 0.025 during the observation period; the average black carbon (BC) concentration and aerosol number concentration was 37 ng/m3 and 129 N/cm3, respectively; the diurnal variation and vertical distribution of aerosol were affected by the local meteorological elements. Frequent southerly winds during the summer monsoon led to a certain contribution of South Asia to the BC concentration in Nam Co region. And particles from the Taklimakan Desert led to dramatic increasing of aerosol number concentration over Nam Co region. The aerosol optical characteristics and influencing factors over the central TP were analyzed, which is beneficial to further study the influence of aerosols over the TP on regional and global weather and climate.
Highlights Optical properties of aerosol over Nam Co station were observed by the STEP of China. Nam Co region was generally influenced by BC from South Asia, local pollution emissions and north particles. The average of AOD, depolarization ratio and BC over Nam Co station was 0.026, 0.033 and 37 ng/m3, respectively.
