Forecast, observation and modelling of a deep stratospheric intrusion event over Europe
A wide range of measurements was carried out in central and southeastern Europe within the framework of the EU project STACCATO (Influence of StratosphereTroposphere Exchange in a Changing Climate on Atmospheric Transport and Oxidation Capacity) with the principle goal to create a comprehensive data set on stratospheric air intrusions into the troposphere along a rather frequently observed path...
متن کاملSampling of an STT event over the Eastern Mediterranean region by lidar and electrochemical sonde
A two-wavelength ultraviolet (289–316 nm) ozone Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) system is used to perform ozone measurements in the free troposphere in the Eastern Mediterranean (Northern Greece). The ozone DIAL profiles obtained during a Stratosphere-toTroposphere Transport (STT) event are compared to that acquired by an electrochemical ozonesonde, in the altitude range between 2 and 10 k...
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 کاملTransport pathways from the Asian monsoon anticyclone to the stratosphere
Transport pathways of air originating in the uppertropospheric Asian monsoon anticyclone are investigated based on three-dimensional trajectories. The Asian monsoon anticyclone emerges in response to persistent deep convection over India and southeast Asia in northern summer, and this convection is associated with rapid transport from the surface to the upper troposphere and possibly into the s...
متن کاملTransport and mixing of chemical air masses in idealized baroclinic life cycles
[1] The transport, mixing, and three-dimensional evolution of chemically distinct air masses within growing baroclinic waves are studied in idealized, high-resolution, life cycle experiments using suitably initialized passive tracers, contrasting the two well-known life cycle paradigms, distinguished by predominantly anticyclonic (LC1) or cyclonic (LC2) flow at upper levels. Stratosphere-tropos...
