Vertical Profiles of Acetylene in the Troposphere and Stratosphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 respect to possible vertical exchange processes and compared with pUblished model calculations.

Mean 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 کاملFive blind men and the elephant: what can the NASA Aura ozone measurements tell us about stratosphere-troposphere exchange?
Abstract. We examine whether the individual ozone (O3) measurements from the four Aura instruments can quantify the stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) flux of O3, an important term of the tropospheric O3 budget. The level 2 (L2) Aura swath data and the nearly coincident ozone sondes for the years 2005–2006 are compared with the 4-D, high-resolution (1×1×40-layer× 0.5 h) model simulation of...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Ozone Vertical Profile Measurements by Differential Absorption Lidar and IASI/MetOp Satellite in the Upper Troposphere-Lower Stratosphere
This paper introduces the technique of retrieving the profiles of vertical distribution of ozone considering temperature and aerosol correction in DIAL sounding of the atmosphere. The authors determine wavelengths, which are promising for measurements of ozone profiles in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere. An ozone differential absorption lidar is designed for the measurements. The resul...
متن کاملModel simulations and aircraft measurements of vertical, seasonal and latitudinal O3 and CO distributions over Europe
During a series of 8 measurement campaigns within the SPURT project (2001–2003), vertical profiles of CO and O3 have been obtained at subtropical, middle and high latitudes over western Europe, covering the troposphere and lowermost stratosphere up to ∼14 km altitude during all seasons. The seasonal and latitudinal variation of the measured trace gas profiles are compared to simulations with th...
متن کاملThe power of vertical geolocation of atmospheric profiles from GNSS radio occultation
High-resolution measurements from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) provide atmospheric profiles with independent information on altitude and pressure. This unique property is of crucial advantage when analyzing atmospheric characteristics that require joint knowledge of altitude and pressure or other thermodynamic atmospheric variables. Here we introduce and demo...
