Turbulent vertical diffusivity in the sub-tropical stratosphere
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Full Screen / Esc Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Full Screen / Esc Printer-friendly Version Interactive Discussion EGU Abstract Vertical (cross-isentropic) mixing is produced by small-scale turbulent processes which are still poorly understood and parametrized in numerical models. In this work ...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of vertical eddy diffusivity in the troposphere, lower stratosphere and mesosphere over a tropical station
Long-term VHF radar (53 MHz with 3 beamwidth) observations at Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E), India, during the period from September 1995 to August 1999 are used to study monthly, seasonal and annual medians of vertical eddy diffusivity, K in the troposphere, lower stratosphere and mesosphere. First, the spectral width contribution due to non-turbulent effects has been removed for further analysis a...
متن کاملMean radiative energy balance and vertical mass fluxes in the equatorial upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
[1] We use radiative transfer calculations to quantify vertical mass transport in the equatorial upper troposphere (UT) and lower stratosphere (LS), employing high resolution sonde measurements of temperature, ozone and water vapor at seven equatorial locations (10 S–10 N). The influence of clouds is examined using data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the ...
متن کاملVertical Profiles of Acetylene in the Troposphere and Stratosphere
Stratospheric measurements of acetylene up to altitudes of 30 km are presented. The air samples were collected during three different balloon flights, two of them at 44°N, one at nON using balloon borne, liquid neon-eooled, cryosamplers. Their acetylene concentration was measured in the laboratory by flame ionisation gaschromatography. The different profiles at nON and 44°N are discussed with r...
متن کاملHigh-resolution vertical imaging of the troposphere and lower stratosphere using the new MU radar system
In the present paper, a new application of the range imaging technique called Frequency Interferometry Imaging (FII) or Range Imaging (RIM), performed in April 2005, is shown using the new 46.5-MHz Middle and Upper (MU) atmosphere radar system (Shigaraki, Japan). Heighttime images of brightness distribution have been computed at the highest resolution ever obtained for imaging with VHF radars i...
