Abstract >>
A passive optical method for measurement of the crosswind velocity averaged over an atmospheric path is developed. The crosswind velocity estimation is based on the correlation algorithm operating with the shifts of energy centroids of images of topographic objects under natural daylight. Testing results of a measurer prototype based on this algorithm are discribed. The wind velocity estimates recorded by passive optical measurer and acoustic weather station are compared. The optimal duration for averaging the mutual correlation function providing the stability of real-time wind measurements is estimated.

Abstract >>
The paper presents the results of measurements of parameters of aircraft wake vortices by a Stream Line coherent Doppler lidar during the three-day experiment on the airfield of Tolmachevo Airport. We have analyzed spatial dynamics and evolution of the wake vortices generated by aircrafts of various types: from Airbus A319 passenger aircraft to heavy Boeing 747-8 cargo aircraft entering the landing at Tolmachevo airport. It is shown that Stream Line lidars may well be used to obtain reliable information about the presence and intensity of aircraft wake vortices in the vicinity of а runway.

Abstract >>
Coherent properties of vortex Bessel-Gaussian beams propagating in the turbulent atmosphere are theoretically studied. The approach to the analysis of this problem is based on the analytical solution of the equation for the transverse second-order mutual coherence function of the optical radiation field. The behavior of coherence degree, coherence length and integral scale of coherence degree of vortex Bessel-Gaussian beams depending on parameters of a beam and characteristics of the turbulent atmosphere is particularly considered. It is shown that the coherence length, and integral scale of coherence degree of a vortex Bessel-Gaussian beam essentially inversely depend on the topological charge of a vortex beam. Thus, in process of increase in a topological charge of a vortex beam the increase in reduction of values of coherence radius and integral scale of coherence degree of a vortex Bessel-Gaussian beam becomes less. The value of the given effect also essentially depends on characteristics of the turbulent atmosphere: at weak and strong fluctuations of optical radiation the given effect is not great, it reaches a maximum in the transition region from weak to strong fluctuations of optical radiation.

Keywords: турбулентная атмосфера, скорость ветра, некогерентное изображение, turbulent atmosphere, wind velocity, incoherent image

Abstract >>
Possibilities of the crosswind profiling along an observation path of a distant object from the analysis of distortions of atmospheric object images are studied in this work by numerical simulation. The proposed method for wind velocity determination is based on the analysis of two adjacent incoherent images and exhibit higher performance in comparison with counterparts, which is explained by the absence of accumulation of analyzed statistical characteristics. A new method for filtration of turbulent distortions of an image by their characteristic sizes is suggested with the aim of determining the wind velocity at different segments of an observation path. The work shows a possibility of determining the motion velocity under certain turbulent conditions for several (no less than three) layers of turbulent atmosphere, which are located at different positions between observed object and optical system.

We present experimental results on the remote detection of surface traces of some high energetic materials using a Raman lidar designed on the basis of an excimer KrF laser with a narrow generation line and a multi-channel spectrum analyzer based on diffraction spectrograph and time gated CCD camera. Sensitivity of the system is evaluated for the detection range 10 m. A detection limit of 0.5 μg/cm2 is reached for the surface density of traces of nitrogen-containing chemical materials at the signal accumulation over 1000 laser pulses.

Keywords: аэрозольная оптическая толщина, микроструктура аэрозоля, корреляция, регрессия, aerosol optical depth, aerosol microstructure, correlation, regression

Abstract >>
Possibilities of estimating the microstructure parameters of atmospheric aerosol from regression equations that describe their relationships with spectral measurements of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) are considered. Special attention is given to the volume concentration, total cross section, and average radius of coarse aerosol particles. The urgency of this problem is stipulated by large errors in the retrieval of the above-indicated parameters in the case of direct АОD retrieval from measurements in an insufficiently wide spectral range. The coefficients of simple and multiple linear regressions are estimated and the results of retrieval on their basis of coarse aerosol parameters from data of solar photometry in Tomsk are presented.

Results of investigations of the time variability of aerosol microstructure parameters retrieved by inversion of spectral measurements of the aerosol optical depth (АОD) are presented. The input data were obtained at the IAO SB RAS using solar photometers of SP type in the observation periods 2003-2006 and 2011-2014. During the first period of measurement, the АОD was measured at 13 wavelengths in the range 0.37-4 mm. In the second observation period, the upper limit of the spectral range of measurements was 2.14 mm. The total volume of the data processed included over 7000 hourly average spectra. The geometric aerosol cross section, volume concentration, and average particle radius are analyzed.

Abstract >>
The concentrations of normal hydrocarbons are studied on the basis of measurements in the surface air layer in different Siberian regions and in the free atmosphere over the Kara Sea water area. The total content of normal hydrocarbons in the aerosol composition is found to change from 244.56 ng/m3 in the surface air layer to 0.08 ng/m3 in the free atmosphere over the Kara Sea. Most organic compounds are from the C15H32-C22H46 range independently of the season; lighter compounds beginning from C9H20 are detected in the mid-seasons (spring and autumn); C18H38 concentration is maximal in autumn; C19H40, in spring and summer, and C20H42, in winter.
