Keywords: аэрозоль, массовая концентрация, линейный тренд, множественная линейная регрессия, автокорреляция данных, aerosol, mass concentration, linear trend, multiple linear regression, autocorrelation of data

Abstract >>
Estimates of seasonally dependent long-term trends in the mass concentration of near-surface aerosol based on the measurements at Zvenigorod Research Station of A.M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1991-2018 are presented. The analysis was performed by the method of multiple linear regression taking into account data autocorrelation on long time scales. Statistically significant negative spring and summer trends were derived for 1991-2002 and 2013-2018, respectively; possible causes of the trends are discussed.

Keywords: приземная температура воздуха, приземное давление, облачность, антициклоническая активность, территория Сибири, surface temperature, surface pressure, cloudiness, anticyclonic activity, the territory of Siberia

Abstract >>
According to data from 163 meteorological stations over the territory of Siberia (50º-70º N; 60º-110º E) the air temperature, surface pressure, and cloud cover during the winter period (December-February) were calculated over 1976-2011. Using surface synoptic charts, time series of winter anticyclone characteristics, such as total number and pressure centers, were derived. Two time intervals: 1976-1990 and 1991-2011 were found in variations in climate and anticyclone activity characteristics. Over the first period, temperature and cloud amount increase, and surface pressure falls, the number of anticyclones decreases, and their intensification occurs, i.e., the pressure increases in their centers. Over the second period, the tendencies are opposite. The correlation analysis between the climate variables and anticyclonic activity characteristics allowed us to consistently describe the impact of anticyclones on the surface pressure and cloudiness.

Abstract >>
In the created geoinformation system, the analysis of air pollution from fires of drained peatlands in the territories of Bakcharsky and Shegarsky forest districts of the Tomsk region has been performed. Parameters of horizontal and vertical perturbations in the air layer due to a fire in the area of Iksa were calculated, which including a maximum vertical dimension of the convective column (mixture of air with products of complete and incomplete combustion rising above the fire), heat emission, and the propagation velocity of the aerosol cloud of combustion products. The volumes of pollutant emissions from the fire have been calculated on the basis of geodata and those on the biomass of vegetation cover of the Iksa site. It is shown that significant amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane were emitted into the atmosphere due to the fire. The data on emissions of nitrogen oxide, soot, and ozone are also reported. At the present time, this site is characterized by the restoration of vegetation cover; the positive dynamics of the NDVI vegetation index has been calculated. The accumulation of biomass in the Iksa site and the presence of dead wood, as well as a road network indicate a high risk of vegetation and peat ignition and pollutant emissions to the atmosphere.

Abstract >>
On the basis of long-term data obtained from the European ENVISAT satellite, the statistical analysis of chlorophyll and suspended matter concentrations in the Gulf of Ob and its extension to the Kara Sea from Bely Island to Novaya Zemlya was performed. It was found that empirical functions of chlorophyll and suspended matter concentration distribution in both water areas, including the coastal zone of the Gulf of Ob, tend to the lognormal law. Statistical parameters of distributions and characteristics of the latitudinal trends of logarithms of concentrations in the Kara Sea are determined. The obtained results are presented in graphical and tabular forms and can be used in modelling the distribution of dispersed components in the waters of the Arctic Ocean under study.

The composition and operation principle of an instrument for measuring the water extinction coefficient in real time are described, including measurements in water under the ice surface. Examples of instrument testing under field and laboratory conditions are given. The measuring instrument is recommended for estimation of maximal receiver-source distances when line-of-sight optoelectronic communication or communication on scattered laser radiation is possible.

Abstract >>
The modern tasks concerning the methods for recovering the altitude profiles of the atmospheric turbulence are discussed. An alternative method to the Slodar-technique is suggested for determining the altitudes of atmospheric layers characterized by strong turbulence. The method is based on estimation of the space-time crosscovariances between local wavefront slopes on subapertures spaced in the telescope field of view with a known angular displacement of an object observed due to the Sun motion. The turbulence characteristics are estimated for the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope site.

Keywords: генерация второй гармоники, система нелинейных уравнений, численные схемы, second harmonic generation, system of nonlinear equations, numerical scheme

Abstract >>
A technique is proposed for approximate solution of the system of equations responsible for second harmonic generation in nonlinear uniaxial crystals. The algorithm of this techniqueis is reduced to numerical calculation of a threefold integrated integral. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, two approximations are considered. These approximations allow the time for computation of twofold integrated integrals with respect to transverse coordinates to be shortened nearly two times in the situations most complicated for computations. The second part discusses an approximate technique for estimation of the power of interacting waves, which also allows the computation time to be decreased by an order of magnitude by means of a decrease in the minimal needed number of steps of the recurrent process. The results of the tests demonstrate that although the use of the approximations proposed decreases the accuracy of solution of the nonlinear problem, but nevertheless keeps the errors at an acceptably low level.
