General information

Current activities of LEMAR include following:

High-altitude aircraft M-55 “Geophysica” is equipped with the in situ instrument for ozone (FOZAN) and water vapour (FLASH) measurements. Many aircraft field campaigns under European Projects aimed to study the chemical composition and structure of the lower atmosphere in various regions of the Earth were conducted during last years.

Optical fluorescent hygrosonde for balloon sounding (FLASH-B) (developed at CAO) provide water vapour vertical profiles from 6-8 up to 35 km. As a rule water vapour sounding is conducting jointly with ozone sounding. Simultaneous water vapour and ozone measurements are valuable data set for study of stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE). Modification of the regular FLASH-B hygrosonde has been developed for using on board of long duration balloon (STRATEOLE Project).

Chemilal trajectory model (developed by Dr.A.Lykyanov) is widely used for analyzing the experimental data for investigation the history of air masses arriving to the point of measurements. This model as well well-known Wei method are used for estimation the mass flow through the tropopause for Stratosphere-Troposphere-Exchange studies in extratropics.

Study of chemical ozone loss in stratospheric polar vortex in Arctic For estimation the chemical ozone loss in the stratospheric polar vortex ozone sounding with ECC is conducted during winter spring periods at Salekhard station (67N,67E) and Yakutsk station (62N, 130 E). Satellite ozone observations (SAGE-III, AURA) are also used for this purposes. On the base of radiative model the cooling rates are calculated for estimation of diabatic descent to make a corrections to observed ozone data.

High-altitude aircraft "Geophysica М-55" Responsible person: Dr.N.M.Sitinikov

In the period 1993-2001, within the framework of an international project, CAO jointly with Myasishchev Design Bereau and in collaboration with EC research institutes created an air-borne research laboratory on board the Russian high-altitude airplane M-55 "Geophysica" and fulfilled investigations of the chemical composition and structure of the lower atmosphere in various regions of the Earth.

In the period 1993-2006, the airplane "Geophysica" was successfully employed in 14 international flight expeditions to stidy the mechanisms of stratospheric ozone depletion in the Arctic and Antarctica and seasonal conditions of the troposphere-stratosphere exchange in tropical latitudes (the Seychelles, Brazil, Australis, Western Africa).
Also fulfilled in these flights was validation of satellite-borne measurements of space-and-time distribution of the minor atmospheric gases, including measurements from the European satellite ENVISAT and Russian "Meteor-3M".

Study of chemical ozone loss in stratospheric polar vortex in Arctic

Responsible person: N.D.Tsvetkova

Our understanding of chemical and dynamical processes leading to chemical ozone loss in the winter polar stratosphere has improved significantly during last 20 years. The key role of chlorine species in the depletion of ozone occurring during cold Arctic winters and under high chlorine loading is now well demonstrated. When the temperatures are sufficiently low to allow the formation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), the chlorine reservoir species HCl and ClONO2 are transformed by heterogeneous reactions into active chlorine molecules (ClOx=ClO+2Cl2O2+2Cl2) that drive catalytic ozone destruction.
For quantifying chemical ozone loss inside the Arctic polar vortex satellite (SAGE III, MLS-AURA) and sondes measurements of ozone vertical distribution are used. The regular ozonesounding in winter- spring period in Yakutsk from 1995 and in Salekhard from 1998 is carried out for this purpose.
Inside the polar vortex the ozone mixing ratio evolution on a fixed isentropic surface is caused by chemical ozone loss and diabatic descent of air masses due to diabatic cooling. So the temporal ozone change on a fixed isentropic surface is given as:

where O3 is ozone mixing ratio on Θ level, Θ – potential temperature. O3/t – the observed temporal rate of ozone change on Θ level (has been calculated from the mixing ratio time series by linear regression method), S – chemical ozone loss rate, O3/ -the ozone gradient with respect to potential temperature and /t – the diabatic cooling rate (has been calculated with the radiation scheme). Thus chemical ozone loss rate can be derived as the difference between the observed ozone change rate and the computed increase due to the diabatic descent. A decrease in total column ozone due to chemical ozone loss can be deduced by integrating of cumulative ozone loss profile at different potential temperature levels.

As illustration, figure 1 shows vertical distribution of vortex-averaged ozone loss for 3 winters – the mild winter of 2003 and extremely cold winters of 1999/2000 and 2004/2005. The record total column losses during 2004/2005 (116 ± 10 DU) demonstrates that Arctic stratospheric cooling induced by climate change could intensify polar ozone depletion against the trend of declining chlorine levels since 2000.

Optical fluorescent hygrosonde for balloon sounding (FLASH-B)

Responsible persons: Dr.S.M.Khaykin; Dr.L.I.Korshunov

The FLASH-B (FLuorescent Advanced Stratospheric Hygrometer for Balloon) instrument was developed at Central Aerological Observatory, Russia for balloon-borne water vapor measurements in the upper troposphere and stratosphere (Yushkov et al.,1998, Yushkov et al., 2000). The instrument is based on the fluorescent method (Kley and Stone, 1978; Bertaux and Dellanoy, 1978), which uses H2O molecules photodissociation at a wavelength λ < 137 nm followed by the measurement of the fluorescence of excited OH radicals. The source of Lyman-alpha radiation (λ =121.6 nm) is a hydrogen discharge lamp while the detector of OH fluorescence at 308 -316 nm is a HAMAMATSU R647-P photomultiplier run in photon counting mode with an narrowband interference filter for selecting the fluorescence spectral region. The intensity of the fluorescent light sensed by the photomultiplier is directly proportional to the water vapor mixing ratio under stratospheric conditions (30 – 150 hPa) with small oxygen absorption (3% at 50 hPa).
The precursor of FLASH-B instrument, optical hygrometer (Khaplanov et al., 1992) designed for use onboard both stratospheric balloons and rockets had a weight of about 5 kg. It participated in EASOE field campaign in 1991/92 (Khattatov et al, 1994) as well as in Arctic field balloon campaign in Russia.
The modified version of the optical hygrometer named FLASH-B (Fluorescent Advanced Stratospheric Hygrometer for Balloon) had significantly reduced dimensions and weight. It was successfully applied for water vapor measurements on board of long and short duration balloons (Yushkov et al., 2001). Based on this experience the recent version of FLASH-B integrated with Vaisala RS-80 radiosonde has been developed for regular balloon soundings.
The instrument uses the open layout [Khaplanov et al., 1992] where the optics is looking directly into the outside air. This arrangement is suitable only for nighttime measurements with a solar zenith angle larger than 980, at which sun light no longer reaches the detector. The co-axial optical layout allows reducing the size of the instrument to 106x156x242 mm with a total weight of 0.980 kg including batteries.
The accuracy of the FLASH-B instrument is determined by the calibration error estimated as 4% in the 3 – 100 ppmv range. The measurement precision is 5.5% calculated for 4 seconds integration time at stratospheric conditions. The total uncertainty of the measurement is less than 10% at the stratospheric mixing ratios greater than 3 ppmv increasing to about 20% at mixing ratios less than 3 ppmv.
In January-February 2004 FLASH-B hygrosonde took part in the international intercomparison campaign LAUTLOS-WAVVAP held at the Arctic station of Finnish Meteorological Institute. The campaign was aimed at intercomparison of different in-situ balloon as well as remote ground-based water vapour instruments. FLASH-B hygrosonde was used as a reference for stratospheric water vapour measurements. The results of comparison showed excellent agreement between different instruments and measurements techniques.
At present time FLASH-B is used for regular monthly soundings at a number of European stations, i.e. Lindenberg (Germany), Ny-Alesund (Norway), Sodankyla (Finland). In the frame of strategic framework program COPES by WCRP (2005-2015) supported by WMO it is planned to start regular water vapour soundings at Payern (Swirzerland) in cooperation with Swiss meteorological service MeteoSwiss and at Teresina (Brasil) in cooperation with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Chemilal trajectory modelling

Responsible person: Dr.A.N.Lykyanov

Model description.

A trajectory of air parcel is the Lagrangian displacement of air particle forced by wind field. The time integration of the particle advection equation expressed with spherical coordinates is performed using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with analyzed wind data linearly interpolated in time and space. New horizontal coordinates of air parcel moving during time step are determined by:
where - longitude and latitude respectively, u,v – zonal and meridional winds. To avoid inaccuracies near the poles, for latitudes exceeding 70N and 70S, the integration was conducted using Cartesian coordinates. The time step for trajectory calculations is set to 15 minutes. Trajectory’s inaccuracies are mainly caused by the accuracy and resolution of initial analyzed data and the method of their interpolation.

To calculate the isentropic trajectories the horizontal winds and the temperature are used. Potential temperature (PT) and potential vorticity (PV) are conserved when the motion is adiabatic and there are no external forces, heat sources or frictional dissipation. In the stratosphere the main diabatic source is a relatively slow radiative heating/cooling. Thus both PT and PV stay fairly constant along the stratospheric isentropic trajectory during 10-15 days. In the tropopause region and troposphere 3-d trajectories are more accurate because of diabatic sources like latent heat of evaporation or condensation and so on. To calculate 3-d trajectories the vertical analyzed wind is also used. Also, quasi-isentropic trajectories can be calculated by using cooling rates obtained from radiative schemes.

The model uses analyzed data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) on 21 pressure levels (troposphere/stratosphere) with horizontal resolution 2.5 х 2.5 or 0.5 х 0.5 degree and temporal resolution 6 hours. The initial objective of the trajectory model development was an investigation of the chemical ozone depletion inside the polar stratospheric vortex including the Antarctic “ozone hole”. The trajectory model has been coupled with chemistry model included the gaseous and heterogeneous reactions. The example of model simulations in both hemispheres is presented in Fig.1 . The more detailed model description and applications are described in Lukyanov et al., 2003. Also the model is widely used for analysis of balloon and aircraft data. The backward trajectories indicate on the origin of air masses arriving to observational locations. An example of the trajectory analysis of laminated water vapour profile obtained in the vortex-edge region is shown in Fig.2. Results of RDF calculations with potential vorticity (PV) as advected tracer show that such a structure was caused by the differential advection. The vortex filaments with enhanced PV and water vapour occurred in the region of measurements. In more details it is shown in (3). At present the trajectory model also is coupled with cirrus parameterization model (Ren, MakKenzie, Cirrus parameterization and the role of ice nuclei, QJRMS, 131, 2005), developed at University of Lancaster (UK). The coupled model provides more realistic estimates of dehydration of the humid tropospheric air entering into the stratosphere.

Also the trajectories can be applied for trajectory mapping of satellite data (Лукьянов А.Н., «Эволюция озона и озоноактивных компонент в нижней стратосфере полярных широт в зимне-весенний период», Диссертация на соискание степени кандидата физ-мат. наук, 2001.) and pollution studies.


Investigation of dynamical processes in the stratosphere-troposphere of Arctic and Antarctic

Responsible person: Dr.P.N.Vargin

Main research objectives:
  • Dynamical processes in troposphere - stratosphere
  • Sudden Stratospheric Warmings
  • Ozone layer changes

    Interannual variability of stratospheric circulation in Arctic and Antarctic during winter seasons strongly depends on Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSW). During SSW event temperature of polar stratosphere increases and zonal circulation weakens strongly and could change its direction from westerlies to easterlies. As a result of SSW stratospheric polar vortex could be shifted from the Pole and its shape could be changed. Most intensive SSW event - Major could lead to stratospheric polar vortex breaking. If in Northern hemisphere Major SSW are observed rather regularly, there was only one Major SSW in the Antarctic in September 2002.

    Although SSW develops often differently its basic features are known. Therefore the diagnostic and investigation of each SSW event is still of great interest, especially investigation of dynamical processes that are responsible for SSW occurrence.

    SSW events influence strongly dynamical and chemical processes in polar stratosphere and troposphere, particularly ozone destruction by heteroheneous reaction on particles of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSC).
