Abstract:Based on the monitoring data of main greenhouse gases, variation characteristics of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in Changzhou from 2016 to 2020 were studied by using such methods as longterm sequence analysis and correlation analysis. A correlation between the concentration of CO2 and CH4 and pollutants and meteorological parameters was analyzed, and the effects of biological sources and human activities were discussed preliminary. The results showed that the annual average concentrations of CO2and CH4were 416.4ppm and 1635.7ppb in Changzhou respectively, and the increasing rates were both higher than that in Waliguan during the same period. The CO2and CH4 concentrations were lower and the biological sources such as photosynthesis and plant growth had a greater impact in summer. While the concentrations and impacts of human activities and industrial production increased in winter. The diurnal variation of CO2 concentration showed two peaks in the morning and evening. The diurnal variation of CH4 exhibited one peak and it was highest in autumn which indicated the greater impact of biological sources on CH4. CO2 and CH4 were significantly correlated with NO2, NOx, PM2.5and PM10. The correlation with meteorological parameters was obviously weakened. When the wind speed increased, the diffusion conditions were conducive to the reduction of CO2 and CH4 concentrations.
