Molecular Spectroscopy and Atmospheric Radiative Processes
The absorption spectra of pure H2O with mixtures of broadening gases N2, Ar, Xe, He, Ar and air have been measured in 1.39 mμ spectral region by high resolution spectrometer based on diode laser (DFB NEL, Japan). For the processing of pure water spectra and it’s mixtures with a different broadening gases in a wide pressure range we used a multispectrum fitting procedure developed at IAO. The program is based on a relatively simple Rautian-Sobel’man line profile and linear pressure dependence of the line profile parameters. H2O measured spectra bulk processing results in the retrieving of such line parameters: zero-pressure line center positions, intensities, self-broadening and self-shift coefficients of pure water, broadening and shift coefficients for other gases which are describes the experiment with the minimum residuals in a wide pressure range.

The measurements of "isolated" CO2 line (6231.6 cm-1) absorption spectra in wide pressure range from 2 to 1000 mbar
were performed on 3-channel high-resolution diode laser spectrometer. 4 theoretical models used for the description of
lineshape contour: usual Voigt, Hard-collisional (Rautian), Soft-collisional (Galatry), and Speed-dependent Voigt
(Boone). LabView based software used for the testing of current lineshape models. This software performed the
nonlinear least-squares fit of the model spectrum to the experimental spectra recorded at each pressure individually. The
detailed research of weak lines influence to the retrieved parameters of "isolated" CO2 (6231.6 cm-1, R4 band 30013-
00001) is provided. It is shown that the use of Rautian and Galatry lineshape models leads to a significant deviation from
linear of the narrowing coefficient pressure dependence while coming to the high pressures range. Most appropriate for
the common description of whole experimental spectra in entire range of pressures (up to 1000 mbar) is the Speed-
Dependent (Boone) profile.

The semi-empirical method has been used to determine of room temperature self-broadened halfwidths of methyl cyanide and CO2-broadened halfwidths of methyl chloride. We obtained data approximately for 1500 rotation-vibration transitions. J-dependences of these colliding systems are different due to various absorber-perturber resonance effects. Results of calculations clearly demonstrate a very good agreement between observed and computed parameters for both absorbing molecules.

The estimation of errors in the longwave radiative fluxes simulation due to uncertainties in our knowledge of selective and continuum molecular absorption is presented. Modern models of the water vapour continuum absorption and different versions of the HITRAN spectroscopic database (2004, 2008, 2012) are used. It is shown that at present, the major source of the calculation errors in the longwave fluxes at cloudless atmosphere is still an uncertainty in the water vapour continuum absorption coefficients, while the contribution of line parameters’ errors to the simulation is relatively small.

A semiempirical model in the form of Pade approximants, describing vibrational-rotational (VR) interactions in intensities of VR-lines of v2 water vapor (H2O) band, was developed. The corresponding to the C2v molecular symmetry group matrix elements, involved in the expansion of the transformed dipole moment, was applied to the derivation. The treatment of experimental intensities of v2 H2O band for transitions with ΔK = ±1 and ΔK = ±3 by means of obtained model results in decreasing the root mean square deviation (RMS) about two times (2.82 % instead of 6.20 %) in comparison to the traditional scheme.

The authors have studied the radiation transfer in multilayer atmosphere. The analytical formulae for the calculation of the transmission coefficient, reflectance and absorption of dispersion media consisting of three plane layers were obtained. It was shown that absorption of dispersed media depends strongly on absorption layer’s position in dispersed media. The lowest value is marked when the layer takes place below of the media the light falls from above. Investigation of the radiation balance of the atmosphere is usually conducted on the basis of the theory of radiative transfer and numerical methods [1]. In conducting research using various models of the atmosphere [2-4]. Accuracy of the results depends on the accuracy of the approximation and taking into account all the effects that significantly affect the results, such as the effect of the spatial limitations of the dispersion medium [4-6].

The authors have considered the radiation transfer in triple dispersion media with reflective surface. The analytic for determining the values of reflectance and transmission coefficient of atmosphere consisting of three plane layers limited by the reflective surface were obtained. It was shown that stratosphere and bottom atmospheric layers even at low value of optical density and its weak change impact considerably the reflectance of the «triple dispersion media – reflective surface» at all magnitudes of substrate on reflectivity. It was ascertained that the increase of elongation degree phase function in a cloud layer results reflectivity of the whole dispersion media. This effect is similar to reduction of optical density of atmosphere cloud layer.

A line-by-line calculation of the continuum absorption coefficient in the 1600 and 3600 cm-1 water vapor bands with the line wing shape corresponding to asymptotic line shape theory is presented. The calculation results agree closely with quasi-bound dimer absorption estimates made in the context of a dimer hypothesis. An examination of the classical part of the problem at hand enables the fraction of the quasi-bound dimers to be estimated.

Factors influencing the determination of the continuum absorption have been assessed, using the 4.3 μm CO2 band as an example. The local contribution to the total absorption plays a primary role in the case where the continuum absorption is obtained from experiment. The continuum absorption may be found unambiguously from absorption measurements in band wings. For measurements within the bands, the local contribution can be calculated as the difference between the total measured coefficient and the continuum contribution obtained from measurements in band wings.

In this paper we present the results of Н216О absorption spectrum investigation recorded by a high resolution Fouriertransform spectrometer IFS-125M in the region 15500 – 16000 cm-1. Absorption path of 34.8 m and resolution of 0.03 см-1 were chosen to record the spectrum. White type multipass absorption cell with a basic length of 60 cm were used. Light-emitting diode (LED) was applied as a source of radiation. Signal-to-noise ratio is about 104, making it possible to measure parameters of lines with intensity up to 2*10-27 cm/molecule. Least-square-fitting algorithm was used to retrieve of the spectroscopic parameters from measured spectral data set. Spectral line positions and line intensities derived from the fitting were compared to data obtained in previous works.

Measurements of water vapor absorption spectra in the visible spectral region near 0.44 mkm are performed using FTspectrometer IFS-125M and Light-emitting diode (LED) as source of radiation. Water vapor spectrum has been obtained by averaging over 17136 scans recorded at 34,8 m optical path length, temperature 24 ± 1 С and pressure of sample 24,8 mBar. Due to strong emission of LED source it was possible to achieve signal-to-noise ratio about 104 and to record weak lines with intensities of 6 10-27 cm/molecule. Comparisons with results of early works are made.

The absorption spectra of the D2О monomer in 3600…4200 cm-1 were recorded using Fourier Transform spectrometer FS-125M at room temperature and pressure of 15 and 33 mbar with spectral resolution of 0.03 cm-1 using 2.5 cm long absorption cell. Strong unblended D2O lines lying on the wing of the H2O stretching band were used to determine the line broadening parameters. They were determined from the line profile by Program VxpProfile. The differences between fitted line profiles and experimental ones do not exceed 2%. Registered D2O lines belong to (011) - (000) and (110) - (000) bands of the second triad. Self-broadening coefficients vary from 0.27 cm-1/atm to 0.445 cm-1/atm and they exceed 3 times the D2O-N2 line broadening coefficients in the v3. Calculations of self-broadening coefficients of the D2O lines were performed using semiempirical method based on the impact theory of broadening and included the correction factors. The calculated results well agree with experimental data.

Optical Radiation Propagation in the Atmosphere and Ocean
Statistical characteristics of the vortex laser beams propagating in the turbulent atmosphere are analyzed. The vortex beams are appeared to be less affected by turbulence as compared with the conventional beams: for the vortex beam the variance of random displacements and the variance for fluctuations of the orbital angular momentum, which are induced by atmospheric turbulence less than these characteristics for the vortexless beam, beams having a larger topological charge are founded to be more stable.

The results obtained from both atmospheric and laboratory experiment and from LES data show that, in the stably stratified flows of the atmospheric boundary layer, turbulent mixing occurs at gradient Richardson number that significantly exceed one: the inverse turbulent Prandtl number decreases with an increase in the thermal stability. The decreasing trend of the inverse turbulent Prandtl number is reproduced in a stably stratified planetary boundary layer in agreement with measurement data with aid of the high closure RANS turbulence scheme, which takes into account the influence of internal gravity waves on the eddy mixing of momentum and heat. Applicability of such RANS turbulence approach for the estimate of eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere also examined. It is concluded that the high closure RANS turbulence scheme shows the good agreement with the direct measurement data of eddy diffusivities for momentum and heat in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere during clear-air conditions.

Coherent structures (topological solitons) indoors had been simulated by numerical solving of hydrodynamics equations. "Indoors" means inside the closed volume without the external direct wind influence and without the exchange of internal and external medium through the borders. Results of six boundary value problems are demonstrated: spectrograph pavilion and telescope dome of large astronomical telescopes (LSVT and BTA), cubic room, flat square cuvette, square section tube, parietal turbulence (thermals). The solitary large vortices (coherent structures, topological solitons) are observed indoors. The scenes of air motion as a result of simulation of coherent structures with identical boundary conditions are the practically same as the scenes, independently previously registered at experiments by us (indoors LSVT and BTA).

Last results of experimental researches of the decrease of the light fluctuations in coherent turbulence are presented. Measurements were executed in the autumn of 2013 in a high-mountainous Sayan solar observatory. It is found that astronomical observations are accompanied by periodical transition from the Kolmogorov’s turbulence to coherent turbulence. Such a change of the turbulence type gives intermittency in jitter of the astronomical images.

On-board enhanced vision system for all-weather aircraft navigation and landing which is currently under development in State research institute of aviation systems is described. The system is based on combination of three imagers sensitive in visible, short wave infrared (SWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) spectral ranges and demonstrating to the pilot only the most informative images from the time-aligned multi-sensor data. The results of flight tests at glissade trajectories of the light aircraft АС-5 МР obtained at various weather conditions are presented. It is shown that each spectral range may be informative under certain conditions of observation. In adverse and poor-visibility conditions, such as fog, high humidity and low clouds, SWIR range has the biggest information content.

For the numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) it is required its discretization based on the elimination of the solution anisotropic part and the replacement of the scattering integral by a finite sum. Regardless of the particular method of the RTE sampling the boundary value problem for a slab is transformed into the boundary value problem for the matrix inhomogeneous linear differential equation of the first order. The solution of this problem can be represented both through the solution of the homogeneous equation (propagator), and through the scatterers, possessing the property of invariance that leads to the Ambartsumian invariance principle. It is shown that the equivalence of all these approaches can improve the efficiency of the numerical radiative transfer modeling in the turbid medium slab. Significant acceleration of the RTE solution convergence can be achieved by using the method of synthetic iterations.

Comparison of two approaches within the framework of geometric optics, called the ray-tracing and beam-tracing methods, is considered in application to the problem of light scattering by ice crystal particles of cirrus clouds. A good conformity between the numerical data obtained by these algorithms is demonstrated. The computer time spent for the calculations by these algorithms is analyzed depending on spatial orientations of the particles. It is shown that the beamtracing methods exceeds its counterpart at small number of reflection/refraction events (up to 5) while the situation becomes opposite if this number is larger than 5.

A new approach is suggested to the numerical simulation of laser beam propagation through large-scale atmospheric inhomogeneities. Within this approach, the propagation medium is represented as a continuous 3D distribution of largescale inhomogeneities and a set of common 2D phase screens. A new highly effective simulation method with accounting for the effect of large-scale inhomogeneities is suggested within the aberration-free approximation. It is shown that experimentally observed large-scale inhomogeneities can strongly affect long-distance radiation propagation.

Researches of coherent properties of the vortex Bessel optical beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere are theoretically developed. The degree of coherence of vortex Bessel optical beams depending on beam parameters (crosssection wave number and a topological charge) and characteristics of turbulent atmosphere is in details analysed. It is shown, that at low levels of fluctuations in turbulent atmosphere, the degree of coherence of a vortex Bessel optical beam essentially depends on value of a topological charge of a beam. In the central part of a two-dimensional field of degree of coherence the ring dislocations, which number of rings to equally value of a topological charge of a vortex optical beam, is formed. At high levels of fluctuations in turbulent atmosphere, the degree of coherence of a vortex Bessel beam decreases much faster, than it takes place for the fundamental Bessel beam. And, speed of decrease essentially increases in process of growth of value of a topological charge of a beam.

The function of mutual coherence of the field and the mean intensity of partially coherent pulsed optical radiation scattered by an atmospheric layer have been calculated. It is shown that as the pulse duration decreases, the spatial coherence of backscattered radiation improves in comparison with the coherence of scattered continuous-wave (cw) radiation. In contrast to cw radiation, which scatters uniformly in the backward direction, the backscattering of pulsed radiation becomes nonuniform for shorter pulses, and for ultrashort pulse durations the backscattered radiation is localized near the strictly backward direction in the zone with transverse dimensions comparable with the initial size of the sensing beam.

The mean intensity and the deviation from the straight-line propagation of the optical beam passed through the shock wave at the start of the path and then propagating in a homogeneous medium have been calculated. It has been shown that the spatial inhomogeneity of the refractive index of air in the region of the shock wave arising when a supersonic flow flows around a conical body can exert the focusing action on the beam passing through it. The angular deviation of the optical beam from the straight-line propagation owing to the shock wave depends only on the height above the Earth’s surface, at which the shock wave is generated. As the height increases, the influence of the shock wave on the optical beam propagating through it decreases.

According to data obtained at atmospheric path, was tested an algorithm for calculating the transverse component of the wind speed by correlation analysis of measurements on the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. The correlation method is based on the hypothesis of "frozen" turbulence. Calculated correlation values are the coefficients of the linear correlation between the displacements of the coordinates of the centroids. To automate the algorithm for calculating the transverse component of the wind speed were created the following programming techniques: the moving average method, the gradient descent method, the method of calculation of derivatives.

The vortex beams LG0L broadening has been investigated by numerical simulation of propagation through atmospheric turbulence. The focused and collimated beams were considered. The split-step Fourier method was used for solving scalar wave equation for a randomly inhomogeneous medium with a power-law Kolmogorov spectrum. The average intesity of collimated and focused Gaussian and vortex beams has been compared. The effective sizes are found to be broadened less than the Gaussian beam while propagated through the same medium. The higher the topological charge’s value /l/, the less the beam broadening is observed.

A technique is proposed for determination of the structure characteristic of refractive index of air from data of a coherent Doppler wind lidar. The proposed technique is tested in atmospheric experiments. Time profiles of the structure characteristic of refractive index in the atmospheric surface layer are obtained and compared with the time profiles of the dissipation rate of the kinetic energy of turbulence obtained from the same lidar data. It is shown in this way that coherent lidars can be used for investigation of not only wind turbulence, but also temperature turbulence.

The task of laser sensing of droplet clouds by coaxial lidar is considered. Lidar return due to single scattering is formed in the volume bounded by the radiation pattern of the transmitter, while the double-scattering is determined by a receiving system field of view. The volume of the scattering medium exceeding a receiving system field of view forms the signal higher scattering orders ( < 2). The results of the numerical modeling of the distribution (in the recording plane) polarization characteristics of lidar signal from droplet clouds in the double scattering approximation in comparison with the results of the physical model experiment simulating sounding of a droplet cloud are discussed in this paper.

At the present time quasi-horizontally oriented ice plates of cirrus clouds become the object of active research. Experimental observations of such kind of objects are carried out using multiwave and polarization lidars. The interpretation of lidar signals is now based on the solutions obtained in the approximation of both physical and geometrical optics. The article compares these approximations for the solution of light backscattering by quasihorizontally oriented hexagonal ice plates. Special attention is paid to the limits of applicability of geometrical optics method for solving such problems.

High measurement sensitivity of troposphere CO2 and CH4 is expected from using of integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar, where the strong lidar echoes on two wavelengths from cloud tops or the Earth’s take place. We consider a software system for the radiation transport simulation in the atmosphere by Monte-Carlo method that applied in the greenhouse gas (CH4 and CO2) sensing space-based IPDA-lidar. This software is used to evaluate the accuracy of measurement of the green house gas concentration. The paper investigates the impact of multiple scattering in presence of clouds. So multiple scattering can influence on signal power, but differential absorption method eliminates this drawback.

The outer scale of turbulence plays an important role in the theory of atmospheric turbulence. It specifies the lowfrequency boundary of the inertial subrange of fluctuation spectra of the atmospheric meteorological parameters, is used to construct models of the atmospheric turbulence and to estimate the excess turbulent attenuation of waves in the atmosphere. Outer scales of the wind velocity, temperature, humidity, and ozone concentration were previously determined, in particular, from direct airborne measurements of the spectral power density of these parameters, and their dependences on the altitude above the underlying surface, its properties, and type of the atmospheric stratification were demonstrated. For optical radiation propagating in the surface layer, the outer scale of temperature turbulence was determined from measurements of the variance of phase fluctuations of optical waves propagating along the near-ground paths. Unlike the optical waves, the acoustic wave propagation in the atmospheric boundary layer is influenced simultaneously by the temperature fluctuations caused by thermal convection and by the velocity fluctuations (dynamic turbulence caused by the wind shear). Their relative contributions depend on the ratio of the outer scales of the dynamic turbulence and temperature turbulence. In the present work, a method of simultaneous acoustic sounding of the outer scales of dynamic turbulence and temperature turbulence is suggested, and combined influence of these parameters on the acoustic wave propagation is estimated. Temporal dynamics of vertical profiles of the outer scales of dynamic turbulence and temperature turbulence is analyzed. The efficiency of the suggested method is confirmed by the results of comparison with the data of laser sensing of these parameters and their theoretical estimates, which demonstrate their good agreement.

We describe the new procedure developed to determine the functional groups on the surface of nanoparticles formed in photonucleation of furfural, one of the aldehydes generated during forest fire events. The procedure is based on the detection of nanoparticle rupture from chemically modified surface of the quartz crystal microbalance oscillating in the thickness shear mode under voltage sweep. The rupture force is determined from the voltage at which the rupture occurs. It depends on particle mass and on the affinity of the surface functional groups of the particle to the groups that are present on the modified QCM surface. It was demonstrated with the amine modification of the surface that the nanoparticles formed in furfural photonucleation contain carbonyl and carboxyl groups. The applicability of the method for the investigation of functional groups on the surface of the nanoparticles of atmospheric aerosol is demonstrated.

Aerosol index variations, caused by large-scale forest fires in Siberia, Russia in 2012, 2013 were studied on remote sensing data (EOS Terra, Aqua and Aura). Analysis of the forest fire activity, variations of aerosol index distribution, pressure fields and winds shows that large-scale forest fires are the main factor determining the spatial and temporal distribution of the aerosol index from April to October as in the Siberia and the Far East. Formation of large-scale inhomogeneities in AI distribution is possible under appropriate meteorological conditions (low pressure, slow wind speed, etc.) which lead to formation of stagnation regions where aerosol particles are accumulated. Aerosol pollution from severe forest fires can be transported over a high distances from the fire location.

A comparison of the measured spectral aerosol extinction coefficients βa(λ) and scattering coefficients directed βS(θ). Coefficients βa(λ) were obtained from measurements of atmospheric transmission on horizontal path length of 1 km for wavelengths from 0.45 to 3.9 microns. Scattering coefficients βS (θ) were measured in the angular range from 1 to 15 ° at a wavelength of 0.53 μm. The data were obtained under conditions of forest fire smokes in July 2012 and in clean conditions in April 2013 (706 and 204 realizations, respectively). Under clean conditions, 82% of variations of the extinction of radiation in the whole wavelength range are caused by variability of coarse aerosol, and 98% of variations under smoke conditions are related to submicrometer particles.

We had been conducting the results of surface spectroscopy of radiometric measurements of aerosol and water vapor in the atmosphere of Volgograd for period since July 2011 for September 2013, applying a SPM photometer. Volgograd is a city in the southeast of the European part of Russia, the administrative center of the Volgograd region. It's located in latitude 48.42 N, longitude 44.28 Е and altitude 156 meters above sea level. Spectral aerosol optical depth, the Angstrom wavelength exponent and general water vapor content were computed with the help of the data having been written on sun photometer through the direct measuring of sun radiance. The mean values of aerosol optical depth at 0.440 μm, water vapor the atmospheric column and the Angstrom wavelength exponent during the indicated period of time were computed to be 0.20 ± 0.12, 1.97 ±0.67 g/cm2 and 1.58 ± 0.71 accordingly. The maximal and minimal values of aerosol optical depth were recorded in August 2013 and in July 2013. The general water vapor content in the vertical atmospheric column was recorded in August 2013 and in November 2012). Using the method of the least squares the Angstrom exponent in the spectral measurements from 0.440 to 0.870 μm was computed.

Lake Baikal is one of the unique natural environments in Siberia which, to a large extent, affects the state of the nature in this region. The processes of gas exchange in the “water-atmosphere” system have been studied in Lake Baikal since 2002. The main purpose of the integrated investigations of exchange of carbon-containing gases in the water-atmosphere system in Lake Baikal is to study the contribution of physical, chemical, and biological components of the process and their interrelation with the intensity and rhythms of the fluxes. In 2013, the integrated measurements in the littoral area of Baikal were complemented with studies of the diurnal dynamics of isotopic ratio δ 13C in the surface and near-bottom water, which were not yet performed in Baikal before. In this work, we analyze first results of the joint analysis of СО2 fluxes in the “atmosphere - water surface” system and δ 13C, obtained in August 2013 in the littoral area of South Baikal. It is shown that d13C markedly increases in the surface waters at daylight time. In nighttime period, there takes place a reverse process, when δ 13C of the surface water approaches δ 13C, which is recorded for near-bottom water.

We study the effect of physical, chemical and biological processes on gas exchange of CO2 in the air-water system in Lake Baikal. Photosynthesis of aquatic biota is known to play a crucial role in changing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water. Fluorescent methods are considered to be of high performance in problems of determining quantitative characteristics of biomass, however they require preliminary calibration directly for a specific type of plankton. In the pelagic zone of Lake Baikal the species composition, quantitative and spatial distribution of phytoplankton are characterized by strong spatial and temporal variability. Therefore, the fluorescent devices calibration on a single reference does not provide acceptable accuracy of quantitative assessment of the biomass. The results discussed in the paper were obtained by shipboard measurements during the Baikal campaign of 2010-2011. Correlation between the biomass in 25-meter water layer and the integral value of the fluorescent signal in this layer was obtained for calibration. The report discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen methods and the results of retrieval of the vertical profiles of the biomass for stations in the pelagic zone of Lake Baikal in spring for the 2010-2011 biennium.

Extensive literature devoted to investigations into the influence of environmental conditions on the plant respiration and respiration rate. It is generally accepted that the respired CO2 generated in a stem completely diffuses into the atmosphere. Results obtained from explorations into the CO2 content in disc tree rings by the method proposed in this work shows that a major part of CO2 remains in tree stems and exhibits inter-annual variability. Different methods are used to describe of CO2 and H2O distributions in disc tree rings. The relation of CO2 and H2O variations in a Siberian stone pine disc to meteorological parameters are analyzed with use of wavelet, spectral and cross-spectral techniques. According to a multiple linear regression model, the time evolution of the width of Siberian stone pine rings can be partly explained by a combined influence of air temperature, precipitation, cloudiness and solar activity. Conclusions are made regarding the response of the CO2 and H2O content in coniferous tree disc rings to various climatic factors. Suggested method of CO2, (CO2+H2O) detection can be used for studying of a stem respiration in ecological risk areas.

Petroleum refineries may emit large quantities of pollutants. Tomsk Petrochemical plant impact on the air quality. Most elements associated with the emitted aerosols that are sometimes under-reported or even not cataloged. Because snow is an efficient scavenger of the emitted aerosols, it offers for identifying contaminants. Herein, we present the element concentrations in the insoluble fraction of aerosols in snow samples collected between March 2009 and March 2013. We also develop strategies to identify the marker elements for snow cover contamination in the plant vicinity. In addition, the aerosols transfer was indicated at the distances. Samples were measured using instrumental neutron activation analysis and flameless atomic absorption method. Results show that As, Hg, Br, Sb and Zn were found to be the predominated elements alone with traces of other analyzed elements. Burning gas in flare’s plant could be proved to be a source for the toxic and mobile elements Hg, Sb and Br. It is identified that aerosols fallouts degrease away from the plant at a distance from 300 to 1500 m. This study revealed that element concentration did not significant changed between 2009 and 2013.

The dynamics of optical and microphysical characteristics of near-ground aerosol is analyzed. Their correlations and peculiarities of differences in urban winter smog in comparison with the conditions of weakly turbid atmosphere are studied. It is shown that multiple (more than an order of magnitude) increase of the content of submicrometer aerosol and black carbon in the near-ground layer occurs under conditions of a dense winter smog, that is comparable with events of high smoke content in the atmosphere due to forest fires in summer.

Analysis of the contents of water vapor and aerosol in the atmosphere measured by means of different instruments was performed based on the results of the comprehensive aerosol experiment carried out at the Institute of Atmospheric optics in May 2012. The data obtained using remote (lidar) and contact (balloon) methods were used. They are capable of obtaining the vertical profiles of the measured parameters with high spatial resolution. Lidar measurements of the water vapor content in the boundary layer of the atmosphere by Raman method have shown very good agreement with the data of measurements by balloon. Simultaneous lidar measurements of backscattering and mixing ratio of water vapor in the atmosphere give significant positive correlation of the contents of water vapor and aerosol in the layers.

In the paper we describe the results of the observation of the aerosol and water droplets formation in binary mixtures of saturated water vapor with air and molecular gases. The kinetics of aerosol particles and droplets generation was studied under electron beam influence on the gas mixtures and without it. The experimental setup includes two gas chambers of 43m3 and 1.5m3 connected through the gas valve. The water vapor supersaturation was gained through the pressure fault from the small chamber to the big one. A portable pulse accelerator of electrons with the energy of electron beam 80 KeV was used for ionization of the gas mixture.

Results of a comparison of synchronous measurements of the aerosol optical thickness with SP-6 and CE-318 solar photometers with the microstructure parameters reconstructed by solving the inverse problem are presented. Measurements were performed in Tomsk during one year. The volume concentration and the average particle radius integrated over the entire thickness of the atmosphere were considered as aerosol microstructure parameters. These parameters were estimated both for the particle ensemble and for individual aerosol fractions, submicron and coarse ones. The satisfactory agreement of the parameters being compared is demonstrated. Possible reasons for the established discrepancies are discussed.

In the report, we describe the software developed to retrieve the ozone altitude profiles from data of lidar measurements. The software is written in the programming language С#. At present, the C# language is one of the most advanced and modern programming languages. Many programs are written in this language since it is very easy to understand. The software makes it possible to calculate the ozone altitude profiles according to the method of differential absorption and scattering for three wavelength pairs 272/289 nm, 299/341 nm, and 308/353 nm. These wavelength pairs were chosen in view of the availability of lidar measurement data. The software has a suitable graphical interface, which displays all the steps of retrieving the ozone profiles in real time. The software makes it possible: to read off the lidar data and write the retrieval results in ASCII format; and smooth the lidar signals and the retrieval results with sliding averaging. The temperature correction of zone absorption coefficients is introduced in the software to reduce the retrieval errors. The aerosol backscattering is several times stronger than molecular backscattering when aerosol loading of the atmosphere is large; therefore, the retrieved ozone profile is substantially distorted when the scattering and attenuating properties of the atmosphere at the sensing wavelengths are not taken into consideration. An aerosol correction is introduced in this software. The latitudinally average seasonal model values of the altitudinal distribution of temperature and molecular backscattering coefficient for winter and summer are introduced in the software for the calculation.

Physical and mathematical description of laser sensing of ocean and sea waters is much more complicated than of atmospheric meteorological formations. The main problems here are higher optical density (turbidity) of water and much more complicated and variable scattering matrices of such waters compared to atmospheric ones due to the presence of biological components having very diverse sizes and shapes. Description of the lidar return signal from such media is complicated by the need to account for multiple scattering contribution. Approximation of double light scattering can be a certain compromise for not too turbid water. Results of numerical modeling of lidar returns from sea water with stratified inhomogeneity are discussed in the present paper.

The pattern of the quasibiennial oscillation of total ozone over northern territories of Russia (1996-2013) and ozone concentrations at separate stratospheric levels over Arctic sites (2005-2013) are analyzed according to data of TOMS satellite instrumentation. It is shown that the entire period of 1996-2013 can be divided into three intervals: before 2002- 2004, interval between 2002-2004 and 2008-2010, and period after 2008-2010. The quasibiennial oscillation is quite clearly manifested in the first and third periods and is distorted in the second period. The time series of the mixing ratio, composed for separate altitudinal levels, exhibit quasibiennial oscillation, which takes shape at heights of ~30 km and weakens in overlying regions.

In many cases, aerosol may be regarded as a passive tracer which is fully captured by horizontal and vertical air flows. Therefore, the structure of the aerosol field observed with lidar, allows to visualize the stratification of the atmosphere and various atmospheric motion. However, during vertical movements changes of the relative humidity occur, which leads to the related changes in the scattering properties of the aerosol. The report describes a possible mechanism for the appearance of vertical structures ("walls") in the aerosol field during passage of internal gravity waves.

Occupied a vast area, Siberia is marked by diverse climate and pronounced seasonal cycle. For regional and global climate models it is important to account for seasonal features of atmospheric aerosol. The paper briefly describes an algorithm “Sun-Sky Measurements for Aerosol ReTrieval” (SSMART, Version 1.1) for recovering aerosol optical (single scattering albedo, asymmetry factor of scattering phase function) and microphysical (particle size distribution, complex refractive index) characteristics. The aerosol properties retrieved using the SSMART algorithm from measurements of the spectral extinction and almucantar sky radiance carried out at Tomsk AERONET station in winter are presented. The results of comparison with the data presented on the AERONET website at Level 1.5 are discussed. Both individual and averaged over an extended set of atmospheric situations solutions of the inverse problem are analyzed. The seasonal (summer and winter) variability of aerosol properties is studied.

Was compared to the measured spectral aerosol extinction coefficients βa(λ) (λ: 0.5 - 3.9 μm) with coefficients directional light scattering βS(θ) (λ = 0.53 μm, θ: 1-45 °) and with mass concentration of the absorbing material in aerosol particles MBC. Measurements of optical and meteorological parameters were performed under conditions of forest fire smokes in July 2012 (706 realizations). It is shown that the magnitude of the aerosol attenuation of visible and infrared radiation can be estimated with certain accuracy, by measuring the light scattering parameters in a local volume. For dense fumes βa (0.55)< 1 km -1 was estimated single scattering albedo, which amounted to 97 - 98% in the visible region of the spectrum.

We discuss the aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements with the sun photometers onboard “Akademik Fedorov” and “Professor Khlyustin” research vessels in Arctic and Far East seas along the Northern Sea Route. Coastal observations in Barentsburg, Tiksi, and Vladivostok are employed to analyze the ship-based measurements. It is shown that AOD in Arctic differs little, with the average AOD values being much less than in the background midlatitude regions. In the spatial distributions of AOD and water vapor in Far East seas, we can clearly see the latitudinal dependence: all characteristics in the Bering Sea are close to data in the Arctic zone, these characteristics increase by a factor of 1.5-2 near south coasts of Kamchatka, and the difference reaches a factor of 4-6 in the region of Vladivostok.

Chemical kinetic model describing the mechanism of the formation of aldehydes and the nuclei of the solid phase in the oxidation of biogenic isoprene was built on the basis of airborne measurements of aldehyde concentrations over the forests of West Siberia. It is demonstrated that the high formaldehyde concentrations at an altitude of 4 km and above are due to the photooxidation of hydrocarbons during the vertical transport from the surface. The contribution of aldehyde photonucleation into the formation of organic atmospheric aerosol is evaluated.

Aerosol number size distributions averaged over 3 years as together so for warm and cold seasons separately are considered here. It is shown that the accumulation of anthropogenic aerosol within the BL over the city is typical for the cold period, which is most likely caused by inversions those are rapidly destroyed by vertical mixing during warm season and anthropogenic aerosols from the city are transported into the free troposphere.

The hypothesis to explain observed warming climate is proposed. It is assumed that land existed in the past at the location of the Arctic Ocean, which lowered under the weight of the Arctic ice sheet. As a result of the lowering the altitude of the land, ocean began to wash the glacier, which led to its melting. Nowadays, the final stage of the process is observed. Melting of outer polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere ice is the main cause of the observed warming. The details of the proposed mechanism and a number of additional effects are discussed.

The methods are based on the procedure of cluster analysis with the use as the informative signs the average seasonal values of the total and lower cloudiness amount and the frequencies for five gradations 0, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10 balls as well as the characteristics of their correlation and the specific similarity criteria as a measure of homogeneity signs. The climatic zoning of the Siberian region territory was realized by the 44-years (1969-2012) observations of 60 meteorological stations and on the base of the original methods. 18 homogeneous cloud regions for winter, 17 for spring, 13 for summer and 14 for autumn were revealed in the result of this zoning. The local cloud atmosphere models were built for each identified region. The models include the pattern average seasonal values of the total and lower cloudiness amount as well as their frequencies for five cloud gradations.

The recent and the future warming in the Arctic may have a potential to cause rapid changes in the Earth’s system. The global warming could lead to destabilization of the subsea permafrost and cause a release of methane into the water column. The state of permafrost in the Arctic is the key to understanding whether the methane, stored in the permafrostrelated gas hydrate, can escape to the atmosphere. Results of the mathematical modeling of the dynamics of submarine permafrost and methane hydrate stability zone in the sediments of the East Siberian Arctic shelf are reported. The thickness of permafrost on the shelf is 170 - 320 m for the geothermal heat flux 60 mW/m2 according to the results of experiments. The permafrost modeling indicates that after the seafloor warming from 1948 to 2012 the permafrost deepening down to 1-25 m. A significant degradation of the subsea permafrost down to 10 - 70 m is expected in the next 50 - 100 years.

Experimental data on the variability of vertical and temporal aerosol structure obtained with a lidar complex comprising the TSU high-altitude lidar and the IAO SB RAS station of high-altitude lidar sensing of the atmosphere in 2011-2013 are presented in the work. The special feature of this observation period was practical absence of volcanic activity with emissions into the stratosphere, as well as in 2010. Therefore, the possibility arose of studying the monthly behavior of the vertical structure of the background aerosol in the stratosphere at nights during a three-year period.

In the article the lidar observations of the winter stratosphere warming manifestations of (SW) 2011-13 over Tomsk are considered. In 2010/11 the winter warming took place in January with insignificant positive temperature deviations from the mean monthly values in its first decade and then two maxima on the 14th and 15th of January at the altitude of 30-40 km with a deviation to 45К. In 2011/12 the beginning of the SW was recorded from lidar measurements on December 26 and lasted for two decades of January. The maximum development of SW was at the end of December 2011 – the first decade of January. The biggest temperature deviations were at the 40-60К level in the height interval of 35-45 km. In 2012/13 the SW began on December 25. The phase of its maximum development fell on the 1-4th of January when the stratopause altitude dropped on 30 km and the maximum temperature deviation from the model at this level reached 70K. In contrast to the first two warming (minor), the last was referred to the major type wherein air mass circulation change happened in the upper stratosphere over Tomsk ((http://www.geo.fu-berlin.de/en/met/ag/strat/index.html).).

For distant monitoring of disturbances in the lower ionosphere signals of low-frequency radio stations are often used. In particular, the method is used for investigation of ionospheric responses (disturbances) caused by seismic activity. As a variant of this method for the detection of seismic disturbances in the ionosphere one can use natural radio signals - an electromagnetic radiation of thunderstorm discharges (atmospherics). The examples of the effects of three earthquakes in the variations of average amplitude of atmospherics received in Yakutsk (φ = 62.1° N, λ = 129.7° E) were considered. The increase of signal amplitude for some days before the events can be considered as a precursor. It allows to used observations of impulse electromagnetic thunderstorm signals as one of possible means of distant monitoring of strong earthquakes.

Data on March 2013 were used to verify the theory of whistler propagation along a magnetic field tube, from which the recorded whistlers are expected to be associated with lightning discharges in Kamchatka and in magnetically conjugate point in Australia. When comparing the whistler rates recorded at AWDANet station in Kamchatka with lightning discharge rates according to the data of the World Wide Lightning Location Network, it was determined that the intensity highest values are associated with lightning in magnetically conjugate points. At the same time there were some small splashes in the intensity which clearly correlated with the activity of American and African sources. Some splashes may be associated with the activity in all thee sources in America, Africa and Indonesia.

In this paper the propagation of a cold atmospheric front over orographic obstacles of various shapes is simulated with a 2D small-scale meteorological finite-element model. Flow over a low hill at a coastal site with rough terrain at neutral thermal stratification is simulated with non-hydrostatic and hydrostatic models. The front surface is explicitly described by a special equation. A time filter is used to suppress the non-physical oscillations. The effects of flow retardation and near surface blocking under steep orography are estimated. The upwind and downwind velocities calculated for typical values of the parameters of orography and stratification are presented. It is shown that in case of coastal flow with a significant water- land surface roughness change, the nonhydrostatic model results are in better agreement with the measurement data than the hydrostatic model ones.

This paper describes a comprehensive approach which combines the application of OKO-2 ground penetrating radar, conventional method of cross sectioning accepted in edaphology, soil-testing parameters, mobile and laboratory research of dielectric permittivity for stratified soil cover research. Dielectric characteristics measurements of selected contact samples by the waveguide–coaxial technique showed a correlation between electrophysic characteristics of soil with soil moisture and density. Location of deep aquifers was detected and the real local topography was restored. Research was performed within the Timiryazevskoye forest district near Tomsk. Comparing the results of radar non-destructive sounding and contact measurements demonstrated high correlation of detected structural soil features. The suggested approach provides a solid basis for verifying the non-contact radiophysical methods of research in the interests of rational nature management and land utilization.

The total zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) is an important parameter of the atmosphere and directly or indirectly reflects the weather processes and variations. This paper presents a hardware and software complex for continuous measurements and prediction of atmospheric thermodynamics and radiowaves refraction index. The main part is a network of ground-based spatially separated GPS-GLONASS receivers, which allows the remote sensing zenith tropospheric delay. GPS-Derived Zenith Tropospheric Delay shows the day to day variation and mesoscale spatial and temporal variability. Comparison with the numerical weather reanalysis fields and solar photometer measurements showed agreement with the relative deviation of less than 10%. Hardware-software complex includes the numerical model of the atmosphere on a computational cluster. A variational assimilation system was used to examine the comparative impact of including satellite derived total zenith tropospheric delay from GPS and GLONASS ground observations. Preliminary results show that the initial field of radiowaves refraction index was improved by assimilating the satellite derived ZTD.

The main aim of the work was complex experimental measurements of microphysical, chemical, and optical parameters of aerosol particles in the surface air layer and free atmosphere. From the measurement data, the entire set of aerosol optical parameters was retrieved, required for radiation calculations. Three measurement runs were carried out in 2013 within the experiment: in spring, when the aerosol generation maximum is observed, in summer (July), when the altitude of the atmospheric boundary layer is the highest, and in the late summer – early autumn, when the second nucleation period is recorded. The following instruments were used in the experiment: diffusion aerosol spectrometers (DAS), GRIMM photoelectric counters, angle-scattering nephelometers, aethalometer, SP-9/6 sun photometer, СЕ 318 Sun-Sky radiometer (AERONET), MS-53 pyrheliometer, MS-802 pyranometer, ASP aureole photometer, SSP scanning photometer, TU-134 Optik flying laboratory, Siberian lidar station, stationary multiwave lidar complex LOZA-M, spectrophotometric complex for measuring total ozone and NO2, multivariable instrument for measuring atmospheric parameters, METEO-2 USM, 2.4 AEHP-2.4m station for satellite data receive. Results of numerical calculations of solar down-fluxes on the Earth’s surface were compared with the values measured in clear air in the summer periods in 2010—2012 in a background region of Siberian boreal zone. It was shown that the relative differences between model and experimental values of direct and total radiation do not exceed 1% and 3%, respectively, with accounting for instrumental errors and measurement error of atmospheric parameters. Thus, independent data on optical, meteorological, and microphysical atmospheric parameters allow mutual intercalibration and supplement and, hence, provide for qualitatively new data, which can explain physical nature of processes that form the vertical structure of the aerosol filed.

We carried out a comparison of the values obtained during 30-year periods from 1951 to1980 and from 1981 to 2010 at the stations of the Altai Mountains with regard to series of daily air temperatures to assess present-day changes in temperature conditions. We obtained extreme temperature values at the territory – the average minimum/maximum air temperatures on 10% of the days per year. Based on the results of this work we can say that there are significant changes of the thermal regime from the point of view of local climate formation at the territory of the Altai Mountains.

The possibility of manifestation of tropical cyclones in variations of ionospheric parameters in the zone far removed from the disturbance source region has been studied. The data from frequency analysis by maximal observed frequencies (MOF) for the oblique sounding (OS) signals were used. We revealed 1–5 h time intervals with higher oscillation energetics along the Norilsk–Irkutsk, Magadan–Irkutsk, and Khabarovsk–Irkutsk paths (Eastern Siberia and the Far East of Russia) during equinoctial periods (March, September 2005–2011), in November, 2005 and in summer 2010-2011 for different periods of the solar cycle. These time intervals may be interpreted as a manifestation of large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) whose sources are atmospheric internal gravity waves. By jointly analyzing ionospheric, heliomagnetic, atmospheric, and satellite data on tropical cyclones (TCs), we attempted to associate the series of the revealed TIDs with ionospheric responses to TCs over the Western North Pacific Ocean during the above periods. A significant increase in wave disturbances on OS paths was established to be noted during active tropical cyclogenesis periods in autumn months. For spring equinox (March, 2005–2011), we also note TID manifestations in MOF time variations under quiet heliomagnetic conditions and in TC absence, but the intensity of these wave disturbances was significantly lower, than that of autumn seasons for various years. We estimated the wavelike disturbance propagation velocity by the delay time of TID passing the medium points of the spaced OS paths.

Based on experimental data, obtained in the near-ground atmospheric layer with different structures of the underlying surface, we calculated the elements of turbulence anisotropy tensor. Their average values and standard deviations for different conditions of measurements are determined. The effect of regimes of experimental data processing on statistics of elements of anisotropy tensor is considered. A high stability degree of the average values of the tensor components under different conditions is noted.

In the report, the results of analysis of the (second-order) structure tensor of wind velocity components, measured in the near-ground atmospheric layer, are discussed. We considered the main forms and possible parameterization (selection of approximating functions) of structure tensor elements in the range of lags, corresponding to inertial interval of turbulence energy transfer. The parameters of approximating functions are estimated.

We calculated the absolute integrated intensity of the continuum emission infrared components using the laboratoryobtained rates of photochemical reaction between nitric oxide molecules and oxygen atoms, as well as with non-excited and excited ozone molecules. Altitude distribution of the intensity of continuum radiation in atmosphere in infrared region of a spectrum covers a range of heights of the middle atmosphere from 10 up to 15 km with a maximum at height about 30 km.

In this paper the results of the vertical ozone flux profiles calculated within the lower troposphere over background area of west Siberia are presented. The data on the vertical distribution of the ozone and meteorological parameters derived from AN-2 aircraft measurements supplemented by radiosonde launches. Profiles of turbulent diffusion coefficient were calculated based on “K-theory” with the use of nonlocal closure scheme – “Troen and Mahrt”. Calculations confirmed earlier findings that the formation of the daytime ozone maximum in the atmospheric boundary layer occurs due to its photochemical production from precursors.

The influence of winter stratospheric warming (SW) on the special features of the vertical distribution of the temperature and air density in the middle atmosphere over Tomsk is analyzed. Sudden SWs in winters of 2009– 2010 and 2010–2011 and summer of 2010–2011 are considered with stable vertical temperature distributions. It is demonstrated that in the perturbed state caused by SWs the deviations of the temperature and air density from their average values were in antiphase. Their maximal amplitudes were observed at altitudes 35–40 km and could reach +30% for temperature and 30% for air density. Under quiet conditions in summer months, the temperature deviations were in the main corridor –6 – +8%, and the air density deviations lay in the corridor 8– 15%.

The capability of lidar placed onboard an orbital platform to measure the atmospheric density profiles at altitudes from the Earth surface 20–100 km is investigated. The International Space Station whose Russian Segment will be equipped with one more measuring module is planned to be used as such an orbital platform. The distinguishing feature of the lidar caused by the problem being solved is the application of a laser with two working wavelengths from the UV range.

Study of cosmic rays properties by measuring the radio emission generated by charged particles of extensive air showers may be an alternative method to traditional methods that use large areas of the arrays. The arrays are consist hundreds and thousands of scintillation detectors for registration of charged particles, or consist detectors, recording emission generated by relativistic particles of EAS in the optical wavelength range. Such arrays are very costly because of a large amount of detectors and complex technical equipment. On the other hand, radio method is much cheaper and easier to operate with nearly 100% duty cycle. It is sufficient to have the antenna field and a simple radio receiver tuned to a given frequency. The main problem is to choose a noise free frequency range. For this purpose, in Yakutsk was installed and started radio array for EAS radio emission. The array consists crossed antennas oriented E - W and N - S. Air shower radio registration is conducted at a frequency of 32 MHz, free from industrial noise. Yakutsk Radio Array operates since 2008. Data obtained during those several seasons includes showers with energy above 1019 eV.
