The role and performance of ground-based networks in tracking the evolution of the ozone layer

In the 1980s, ground-based monitoring of the ozone layer played a key role in the discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole as well as in the first documentation of significant winter and spring long-term downward trends in the populated mid-latitude regions. The article summarizes the close-to-hundred-year-long history of ground-based measurements of stratospheric ozone, and more recent observations of constituents that influence its equilibrium. Ozone observations began long before the recognition of the impact of increasing emissions of manmade ozone-depleting substances on ozone and therefore on UV levels, human health, ecosystems and the Earth climate. The historical ozone observations prior to 1980s are used as a reference for the assessments of the state of the ozone layer linked to the enforcement of the Montreal Protocol. In this paper, we describe the worldwide monitoring networks and their ozone observations used to determine long-term trends with an accuracy of a few percent per decade. Since 1989, the ground-based monitoring activities have provided support for the amendments of the Montreal Protocol (MP). They include monitoring of (a) the ozone total column and the vertical distribution at global scale, (b) the ozone-depleting substances (ODS) related to the MP such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and their decomposition products in the stratosphere, and (c) the atmospheric species playing a role in ozone depletion, e.g., nitrogen oxides, water vapor, aerosols, polar stratospheric clouds. We highlight important accomplishments in the atmospheric monitoring performed by the Global Atmosphere Watch program (GAW) run under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and by the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). We also address the complementary roles of ground-based networks and satellite instruments. High-quality ground-based measurements have been used to evaluate ozone variabilities and long-term trends, assess chemistry climate models, and check the long-term stability of satellite data, including more recently the merged satellite time-series developed for the detection of ozone recovery at global scale, which might be further modified by climate change.

Hydrogeochemical characteristics of spring water in the Harz Mountains,Germany

Spring water samples of the Harz Mountains were taken in several seasons of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The samples have been analysed for main components (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻, HCO₃⁻ and NO₃⁻), trace elements (Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Y and REE), DOC, δ¹⁸O and δ²H of water. Meteoric water is indicated as the main source of the springs sampled. High precipitation rates lead to a dilution of the measured elemental concentrations. Furthermore, regional differences of rock and water interactions were found. REE concentrations and patterns of the spring waters vary between the distinct geological units and reflect the geochemical characteristics of the surrounding rocks. The actual data compared to measured data from the seventies and nineties of the last century indicate a decrease of the sulphate concentrations in the spring waters which is typical of many European mountain catchments.     

孔隙、裂隙介质弹性波理论的实验研究

近年来发展起来的“孔隙、裂隙介质弹性波理论”提高了人们对实际岩石声学性质的模拟和预测的能力.作为对这一理论的实验验证和重要应用,我们将它用来模拟和解释岩石超声实验中测得的干燥和饱和岩石弹性波速度随压力的变化曲线.理论模拟的重要参数,如岩石的裂隙密度等是从实验数据反演得到的.结果表明：无论是孔隙度较高的砂岩,还是孔隙度很小的致密岩石,如花岗岩,该理论都能很好地描述岩石在干燥和饱和状态下纵、横波速度随压力的变化.造成波速变化的原因是岩石中裂隙在压力作用下的闭合和裂隙密度的减少.本文的结果还指出了将岩石裂隙密度作为描述岩石的重要物性参数,并给出了从实验室超声测量中确定这一参数的方法.     

非绝热加热对大气局地扰动位能的影响和机理

本文运用统计相关和奇异值分解方法,系统地考察了非绝热加热对大气局地扰动位能的影响特征和机理问题.分析结果表明,热带地区海表温度异常和扰动位能的耦合相关特征与厄尔尼诺和南方涛动变率的关系密切,扰动位能在热带外地区的耦合模态空间型呈现出与北太平洋-北美大气遥相关型极为相似的分布特征.通过进一步考察大气中视热源与扰动位能的耦合特征,发现在低纬地区仍主要反映了厄尔尼诺和南方涛动的影响机制,在热带外地区,视热源异常的耦合模态则表现出与北半球环状模类似的特点,这表明热带外地区大气的局地能量有效性与热带非绝热加热的遥强迫以及局地性热源加热强迫有着极为密切的联系.

三种再分析资料计算青藏高原大气热源的比较

选取NCEP1、NCEP2和ERA-Interim中1981—2010年共30 a的风场、温度场和地面气压场再分析资料,利用"倒算法"计算青藏高原大气热源,对三套资料的计算结果进行了多方面比较分析,并运用Morlet小波法分析了区域平均的高原热源的时间变化特征。结果显示:(1)三套资料计算的季节平均的热源在空间分布上基本一致,夏季高原大部分地区为热源,冬季除高原西北部是热源外,其余地区为冷源。其中,ERA-Interim与NCEP1的分布更为接近;(2)三套资料均表明:就30 a平均而言,青藏高原大气为显著的热源,分布上ERA-Interim与NCEP1相似,量值上NCEP的两套资料更为接近;(3)区域平均热源的月际变化十分一致,相关系数均超过99%显著性检验。NCEP的两套资料对年际变化的描述更为一致,二者相关系数为0.88,ERA-Interim与NCEP两套资料的结果略有差距,相关系数分别为0.78和0.70;(4)整体而言,ERA-Interim资料在反映高原热源方面较优,但也要注意考察该资料给出的高原南坡强热源的真实合理性。     

Observation of Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements with intense fluxes of high-energy electrons

The high altitude (∼3200 m above sea level) of Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC) and low elevation of the thunderclouds provides a good opportunity to detect Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements (TGEs), particles of which rapidly attenuate in the atmosphere. In 2012, we have estimated the energy spectra of several TGEs and revealed significant electron fluxes extended till 30–40 MeV. Measured in the one and the same event gamma ray and electron fluxes allow to estimate the height of the thundercloud above the detector. Proceeding from the energy spectra and the height of the cloud we estimate the electron spectra on the exit from the electric field of the thundercloud, the number of excess electrons in the cloud and avalanche multiplication rate.
