Keywords: случайный процесс со стационарными приращениями, степенная структурная функция, спектральная плотность, спектральные вклады, random process with stationary increments, power-law structure function, spectral density, spectral contribution

Abstract >>
The frequency behavior of the spectral contributions of the initial, middle, and “finite” parts of the power-law structure function (with an exponent less than one) to the spectral density (SD) of a random process with stationary increments is considered. It is shown that it is much more complicated than the strictly positive monotonic power-law frequency dependence of the initial SD. The latter corresponds only to the behavior of the spectral contribution of the initial section of the given structure function. The analytical approximate dependences of the frequency behavior of all these spectral contributions are presented and analyzed. They are recommended for wide practical use.

Abstract >>
Regular measurements of the formaldehyde integral content (IC) in the lower troposphere have been carried out in the area of influence of the Moscow urban agglomeration (Zvenigorod scientific station - ZSS) and in the southeastern part of Tomsk (Siberian lidar station - SLS) since 2009. The paper briefly describes the equipment and measurement techniques and presents the first results of the measurements. The excess of the mean level of the formaldehyde content at the ZSS above its level at Tomsk is shown. The most probable cause of higher values of formaldehyde during the east winds at the ZSS is the polluted Moscow air. According to the observations in Tomsk, the possible influence of polluted urban air on the formaldehyde content appears at temperatures greater than 25°С. According to observations at both stations, the positive dependence of the formaldehyde content on the air temperature was revealed.

Abstract >>
The influence of sintering of an aerogel sample on spectral lines parameters of the carbon monoxide confined inside its pores was studied for the first time. The measurements were conducted using в Bruker IFS 125HR spectrometer in the 4000-4400 cm-1 spectral region. It was shown that the sintering increased CO half-widths but did not affected rotational dependences of CO lines.

Abstract >>
We presented model estimates of daily average direct radiation effects of smoke aerosol in the solar spectral range obtained using observations at Tiksi station in the period of anomalously high black carbon (ВС) concentration in the near-surface atmospheric layer (July 2014). These data are compared with radiation effect of aerosol characteristic for typical summer conditions in this region. It is shown that the monthly average radiation effects caused, on the one hand, by variations in optical characteristics of background aerosol and, on the other hand, by short-term outflows of BC from forest fires to the region of observations are comparable in value.

Abstract >>
We revise the results of lidar measurements of stratospheric aerosol over Tomsk that were made from June 29 to July 14, 1991, and initially interpreted as aerosol layers after the Pinatubo eruption. Using the NOAA HYSPLIT trajectory model, we show that aerosol layers detected at altitudes of 12 and 14.2 km on June 29 and July 11, respectively, were the stratospheric smoke plume from massive forest fires occurred in Quebec, Canada, in June 1991. Biomass burning products reached the stratosphere via convective ascent within a pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) cloud that was detected at 100 km west of Baie-Comeau (Quebec, Canada) on June 19. Aerosol layers observed at altitudes between 11 and 16.5 km on July 8, 9, and 14 represented superpositions of the smoke plume from the Quebec pyroCb and the first traces of the Pinatubo eruption.

Abstract >>
The results of the forecast verification of the high-resolution mesoscale model TSUNM3 created at Tomsk State University are presented. The model is intended for forecasting weather elements at the surface and in the atmosphere boundary layer and is used in scientific researches to predict the state of the atmosphere in the Tomsk region up to an altitude of 2.5 km with a lead time of up to 40 hours. It has a higher spatial resolution (1 km) than the model COSMO-Ru14-Sib technology operatively functioning in the Siberian region (grid spacing is 13.2 km). The forecast quality of the temperature-humidity and dynamic characteristics of the atmosphere state by the TSUNM3 model is comparable to the quality of existing operational mesoscale models.

Abstract >>
Strong squalls and several tornadoes occurred in European Russia on May 30, 2018, and caused significant damage. The data on the squalls were received from weather stations. The data on tornado events were updated from the analysis of satellite information about tornado-induced forest damage. We describe synoptic-scale and mesoscale environments and possibilities of short-term forecast of severe weather outbreaks. The mesoscale simulation is carried out in the WRF model version 3.9.1.1 (3 km resolution) with data of GFS/NCEP and ECMWF ERA-5 global atmospheric models as initial conditions. The strong squalls are simulated with a satisfactory reliability. It is found that the reliability of the WRF model forecast is significantly higher when using ECMWF ERA-5 data

Keywords: атмосферная турбулентность, увеличение обратного рассеяния, лидар, atmospheric turbulence, backscatter enhancement effect, lidar

Abstract >>
The article presents a comparison of experimental and calculated data on the shape of the peak of backscattering enhancement in the propagation of a beam in a turbulent atmosphere. Two schemes of construction of a two-channel turbulent lidar are considered and calculations of the ratio of lidar echoes and the factor of turbulence influence on the average power of the scattered light on the receiver depending on the geometric characteristics of the receiver-transmitter are carried out. Recommended diameter transmit-receive aperture lidar is 50-70 mm. To create an eye-safe lidar with high potential, it is proposed to use a laser with a wavelength of 355 nm. The obtained estimate of the echo and of the influence of turbulence for day and twilight values of background light. The possibility of remote detection of turbulent zones in the troposphere is estimated for an ultraviolet turbulent lidar.
