Modern space technologies allow finding vertical profiles of temperature, pressure and humidity in the troposphere and stratosphere for the entire globe. Together with the use of signals from the GLONASS and GPS space systems, the data on the vertical profiles can detect the atmosphere effect of internal gravity waves excited during seismic events. The temperature time series of the atmosphere temperature at the isobaric levels of 450 and 200 hPa were studied in the period from February 1 to April 14, 2011 near the epicentral area of the earthquake in Japan, 2011. It was found that along with temperature fluctuations in the troposphere and in the stratosphere a mirror wave is observed, there are oscillations similar to those of the troposphere oscillations, but which are in opposite phase with them. The mechanism of the origin of the mirror wave is presented as well as the process of its simulation. It is shown that the troposphere and the stratosphere can be used as an antenna receiving infrasonic waves during seismic events, and space technologies as a means of recording these waves.
Satellite data on total ozone content for 1985-2015 have been used. Methods of evaluating ozone deficit in the polar region and its excess in middle latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere have been developed. In early spring the ozone molecules outflow and the ozone anomaly forms. Ozone inflows the middle latitudes, its total content increases and a ring with elevated TO forms. In October-November the dynamic process reverses, from the ring the ozone molecules transfer to the polar latitudes. The amount of ozone leaving the ring into the polar regions and filling the ozone anomaly is virtually the same. The results produces indicate that the Antarctic ozone hole is a natural geophysical formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
