    Remote assessment of reserve capacity of outburst alpine lakes

    Get PDF
    Results of distant satellite sounding (the TERRA satellite) of high-mountainous areas and digital models SRTM 4.1 and ASTER DEM G2 of the same relief were used to calculate the following parameters of high-mountain dammed glacial lakes: area, depth, the water volume, excess of the dam above the water level. It is important for estimation of the water volume that can be dangerous for a break-through of a dammed lake. Formulas deduced to calculate the depth and volume of a lake for several sections of its area were tested and proposed. It is demonstrated that the regression equation V = Hmax × F, where Hmax is maximum depth of the lake, can be used as the parameterization of the formula «lake volume V equals the product of the area F on average depth D». More precise values of the coefficients a and b in the formula V = aFb were also obtained. Parameters and the water volumes of lakes were estimated for the river Gunt (right tributary of Pyanj River) basin. According to [28], there are 428 high-mountain lakes in this region with their total area ≥ 2500 m2. For basin Inflow of melted snow and glacier water caused by the rise of mean summer air temperatures in 1931–2015 was estimated for the lake Rivankul basin (the Pamir Mountains)

    Morphology of the tropopause layer and lower stratosphere above a tropical cyclone : a case study on cyclone Davina (1999)

    Get PDF
    During the APE-THESEO mission in the Indian Ocean the Myasishchev Design Bureau stratospheric research aircraft M55 Geophysica performed a flight over and within the inner core region of tropical cyclone Davina. Measurements of total water, water vapour, temperature, aerosol backscattering, ozone and tracers were made and are discussed here in comparison with the averages of those quantities acquired during the campaign time frame. Temperature anomalies in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), warmer than average in the lower part and colder than average in the upper TTL were observed. Ozone was strongly reduced compared to its average value, and thick cirrus decks were present up to the cold point, sometimes topped by a layer of very dry air. Evidence for meridional transport of trace gases in the stratosphere above the cyclone was observed and perturbed water distribution in the TTL was documented. The paper discuss possible processes of dehydration induced by the cirrus forming above the cyclone, and change in the chemical tracer and water distribution in the lower stratosphere 400–430 K due to meridional transport from the mid-latitudes and link with Davina. Moreover it compares the data prior and after the cyclone passage to discuss its actual impact on the atmospheric chemistry and thermodynamics

    Turbulence during H- and L-mode plasmas in the scrape-off layer of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak

    No full text
    We present evidence showing that the statistical properties of turbulence in the scrape-off layer (SOL) are not modified in a high-confinement mode (H-mode) inbetween edge-localized modes (ELMs) with respect to a low confinement mode (L-mode). The plasma being in the upper-single null magnetic configuration, the reciprocating probe around the bottom X-point is used to characterize in the same discharge the low and the high-field SOL. In H-mode inbetween ELMs, the average value and the standard deviation of the ion saturation current are found very close to values in L-mode. The normalized standard deviation is found to have the same values as in L-mode independently of the probe position. The probability distribution function is found similar in the two regimes reflecting the fact that the two transport processes, diffusion and convection, are not modified with respect to each other. The power spectra were also found similar, indicating the same distribution of the turbulence intensity among the scales in L- and H-modes. The plasma profiles in the SOL, determined using the lithium beam diagnostic, were found to have the same shape as a function of the radial position also reflecting the non-modification of the transport properties in L- and H-modes. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.Antar GY, 2007, PHYS PLASMAS, V14, DOI 10.1063-1.2424886; Antar GY, 2003, PHYS PLASMAS, V10, P419, DOI 10.1063-1.1536166; Antar GY, 2001, PHYS REV LETT, V87, DOI 10.1103-PhysRevLett.87.065001; Antar GY, 2005, PHYS PLASMAS, V12, DOI 10.1063-1.1953592; Antar GY, 2003, PHYS PLASMAS, V10, P3629, DOI 10.1063-1.1599855; BIGLARI H, 1989, PHYS FLUIDS B-PLASMA, V1, P109, DOI 10.1063-1.859206; Carter TA, 2006, PHYS PLASMAS, V13, DOI 10.1063-1.2158929; Garcia OE, 2005, PHYS PLASMAS, V12, DOI 10.1063-1.2044487; Gruber O, 2001, NUCL FUSION, V41, P1369, DOI 10.1088-0029-5515-41-10-306; Kirk A, 2005, PLASMA PHYS CONTR F, V47, P995, DOI 10.1088-0741-3335-47-7-003; Krasheninnikov SI, 2001, PHYS LETT A, V283, P368, DOI 10.1016-S0375-9601(01)00252-3; Krasheninnikov SI, 2005, PHYS PLASMAS, V12, DOI 10.1063-1.1940061; Kurzan B, 2005, PHYS REV LETT, V95, DOI 10.1103-PhysRevLett.95.145001; Kurzan B, 2007, PLASMA PHYS CONTR F, V49, P825, DOI 10.1088-0741-3335-49-6-010; Moyer RA, 1999, PLASMA PHYS CONTR F, V41, P243, DOI 10.1088-0741-3335-41-2-007; Pigarov AY, 2002, PHYS PLASMAS, V9, P1287, DOI 10.1063-1.1459059; Rudakov DL, 2002, PLASMA PHYS CONTR F, V44, P717, DOI 10.1088-0741-3335-44-6-308; Rudakov DL, 2005, NUCL FUSION, V45, P1589, DOI 10.1088-0029-5515-45-12-014; Tsalas M, 2005, J NUCL MATER, V337, P751, DOI 10.1016-j.jnucmat.2004.09.027; van Milligen BP, 2005, PHYS PLASMAS, V12, DOI 10.1063-1.1884615; WAGNER F, 1982, PHYS REV LETT, V49, P1408, DOI 10.1103-PhysRevLett.49.1408; Xu YH, 2005, PLASMA PHYS CONTR F, V47, P1841, DOI 10.1088-0741-3335-47-10-01438

    Dehydration potential of ultrathin clouds at the tropical tropopause.

    We report on the first simultaneous in situ and remote measurements of subvisible cirrus in the uppermost tropical troposphere. The observed cirrus, called UTTCs (ultrathin tropical tropopause clouds), are the geometrically (200–300 m) and optically (τ ≈ 10−4) thinnest large-scale clouds ever sampled (≈105 km2). UTTCs consist of only a few ice particles per liter with mean radius ≈5 μm, containing only 1–5 % of the total water. Yet, brief adiabatic cooling events only 1–2 K below mean ambient temperature destabilize UTTCs, leading to large sedimenting particles (r ≈ 25 μm). Due to their extreme altitude above 17 km and low particle number density, UTTCs may efficiently dehydrate air during its last encounter with the ice phase before entering the stratosphere

    Diagnostics of the tropical tropopause layer from in-situ observations and CCM data

    A suite of diagnostics is applied to in-situ aircraft measurements and one Chemistry-Climate Model (CCM) data to characterize the vertical structure of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL). The diagnostics are based on the vertical tracers profiles, relative vertical tracers gradients, and tracer-tracer relationships in the tropical Upper Troposphere/Lower Stratosphere (UT/LS), using tropopause coordinates. Observations come from the four tropical campaigns performed from 1998 to 2006 with the research aircraft Geophysica and have been directly compared to the output of the ECHAM5/MESSy CCM. The model vertical resolution in the TTL allows for appropriate comparison with high-resolution aircraft observations and the diagnostics used highlight common TTL features between the model and the observational data. The analysis of the vertical profiles of water vapour, ozone, and nitrous oxide, in both the observations and the model, shows that concentration mixing ratios exhibit a strong gradient change across the tropical tropopause, due to the role of this latter as a transport barrier and that transition between the tropospheric and stratospheric regimes occurs within a finite layer. The use of relative vertical ozone gradients, in addition to the vertical profiles, helps to highlight the region where this transition occurs and allows to give an estimate of its thickness. The analysis of the CO-O3 and H2O-O3 scatter plots and of the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of the H2O-O3 pair completes this picture as it allows to better distinguish tropospheric and stratospheric regimes that can be identified, first, by their differing chemical composition. The joint analysis and comparison of observed and modelled data allows us to evaluate the capability of the model in reproducing the observed vertical structure of the TTL and its variability, and also to assess whether observations from particular regions on a monthly timescale can be representative of the fine scale mean structure of the Tropical Tropopause Layer
