Abstract >>
Modeling of the rotation-vibration energy levels of the first and second triads as well as the first and second hexads of the D218O, HD18O, D217O, and HD17O molecules is performed based of the Watson-type Hamiltonian and the rotation operator written through the Padé-Borel approximants. Rotational, centrifugal distortion and resonance constants as well as mixing coefficients of the resulting wave functions are determined. The scheme of resonance interactions is established. The predictive ability of the effective Hamiltonian parameters obtained is examined in the far extrapolation on rotational quantum numbers.

Keywords: турель, ударная волна, средняя интенсивность, фокусировка оптического излучения, turret, shock wave, mean intensity, focusing of optical radiation

Abstract >>
Results of calculation of the mean intensity of an optical beam crossing a shock wave arising at the supersonic flowing the turret at the beginning of a path in a homogeneous medium are present. It is shown that the spatial inhomogeneity of the refractive index of air in the area occupied by a shock wave can cause strong anisotropic distortions of a beam intersecting a shock wave. The distortions leads to focusing and fragmentation of a beam at relatively small distances from the turret and its quick degradation during further propagation.

Abstract >>
The structure of air turbulent motion inside closed volumes (without exchange of internal and external medium through the borders) over inhomogeneously heated underlying surfaces is studied by numerical solution of boundary value problems for hydrodynamics equations (Navier-Stokes). The solitary large vortices (coherent structures, topological solitons) are observed over an inhomogeneously heated surface. Number of vortices and its internal structure depend on the form and size of heated inhomogenities. In the case of simple forms of heating (homogeneous heating, heated single round spot), the coherent turbulence resulting from the decay of coherent vortices is observed inside a closed volume. For complex forms of heating (thermal diversity, dapple, motley), the toroidal vortices are noticeably deformed. The vortices can be extended along the surface and can have the spiral (helix) streamlines. The vortices are noticeably mixed during the evolution process. It leads to Kolmogorov (incoherent) turbulence. Our experimental data obtained earlier inside dome rooms of astronomical telescopes confirm our numerical simulations.

Abstract >>
First the specific charge probability distribution of the saltating sand over the desertified area has been obtained. The specific charge of the saltating sand was varied between 10 and 150 mC/kg (at the average 48.5 mC/kg) according to the measurement data in Kalmykia over the desertified area. An original setup has been designed whereby the synchronous measurements of the saltating sand concentrations and electric current fluctuations and also the turbulent pulsations of the wind velocity have been carried out over the desertified area in Kalmykia. First transformation pecularities determined by nonlinear processes in the wind sand flux of the statistical characteristics from the wind velocity to the sand grain concentration and further to the electric current of the saltation have been established. In particular, empirical function distributions and fluctuation power spectra were analyzed.

The results of the solutions of the light scattering problem are available free in the form of a data bank of the Mueller matrices.

Abstract >>
Microwave (MW) radiometers are commonly used for monitoring precipitable water vapor (PWV) - the major atmospheric greenhouse gas. The quality and accuracy of the method is assessed in various measuring campaigns. In this study, we intercompare the results of PWV measurements performed with a ground-based MW radiometer RPG-HATPRO (at the Peterhof station of Saint Petersburg State University) and radiosounding data obtained at the Voeykovo station. The dataset includes more than 850 coincident measurements (at the day and at the nighttime) for the period between March 13, 2013 and May 31, 2014. The discrepancy of the both methods is caused by the errors of methods as well as by the spatial inhomogeneity of the fields of PWV in atmosphere. These mismatches can reach tens of percent, which must be taken into account in the intercomparison and validation of different methods for PWV retrieval. The exclusion of cases with significant moisture inhomogeneity allowed the reducing of mean errors and their standard deviation between two sets of measurements up to 3-4% and 12-14%, respectively.

Abstract >>
In the first part of the paper, we offer a methodological ground for determination of the surface albedo in the near infrared (NIR) region using the observations of the atmosphere spectral transparency and the brightness of day cloudless sky in the Sun almucantar. The contribution of the component describing the processes of light reflection into the brightness at different angular distances from the Sun is analyzed. The effect of aerosol absorption on brightness components used to determine the albedo is estimated. The effect of the zenith angle of the Sun and the elongation of aerosol scattering indicatrix on the final albedo calculation is revealed.

Abstract >>
The article is devoted to the methodology of obtaining the spatial distributions of respirable fractions of aerosol in the atmosphere from multifrequency lidar sounding data without the use of additional optical and microphysical aerosol parameters on the path under study. For this purpose, it has been suggested to replace the spectral values of the aerosol extinction coefficient involved in lidar equations by the linearly independent parameters of their approximation, and retrieve the spatial distributions of these parameters from the numerical solution of the system of equations created from all spectral-temporal readings of lidar signals. As a result, the number of unknowns in the system of equations, which are solved, is significantly reduced, and its matrix becomes well-conditioned that can be used to select physically reasonable values of backscatter-extinction aerosol ratio at the operating lidar wavelengths. The assumption that there are two segments with the similar profiles of aerosol extinctions coefficients is used to determine the calibration constants of lidar. The algorithm for searching such segments from the spectral-temporal structure of lidar signal is suggested. The inverse problem of aerosol light scattering is solved on the basis of stable regression relations between the concentrations of respirable aerosol fractions and approximation parameters of its extinction spectrum. The tolerance of the technique developed to the calibration errors and the spatial variations in backscatter-extinction aerosol ratio is shown from numerical experiment on laser sounding of aerosol.
