A precipitation monitoring station in Listvyanka was set up to determine the potential impact of the coastal area on the state of the adjacent air environment above Lake Baikal on its southwest coast. This article presents the results of studying the chemical composition of atmospheric deposition (aerosols and precipitation) at this station in 2020, and of their comparison with the data from previous years (from 2000 to 2019). In 2020, the ionic composition of atmospheric aerosols and precipitation had changed compared to previous years. In the modern period, the total amount of ions in aerosols, accounting for 0.46 ± 0.40 μg∙m−3, was lower by an order of magnitude than between 2000 and 2004. The average annual total amount of ions in precipitation in Listvyanka was almost unchanged from the average values in 2000–2010 and was 10% lower than that from 2011 to 2019 (7.3 mg/L). The ratio of major ions of sulphates and ammonium changed in the aerosol composition: compared to the period from 2000 to 2004, in 2020, the contribution of ammonium ions had decreased significantly, from 32% to 24%; the contribution of sulphates had increased to 43%, and the contribution of calcium had increased from 8 to 13%. Since 2010, the contribution of K+ ions has increased to 8–10%, indicating the effect of smoke aerosols from wildfires. In precipitation, despite the dominance of sulphates (26%) and calcium (18%) throughout the year, the contribution of nitrates increases to 19% during the cold season (from October to March), while the contribution of ammonium ions and hydrogen ions increases to 13% and 17%, respectively, in the warm season (from April to September). In 2020, as in previous research years, the acidity of precipitation at the Listvyanka station was elevated (pH 5.1 ± 0.5); 50% of precipitation in 2020 had pH ˂ 5. We quantified ions in atmospheric aerosols and precipitation on the underlying surface of the coastal southwestern part of Lake Baikal. Ion fluxes with precipitation were the highest in the warm season, which corresponds to the annual maximum precipitation. Unlike previous years (from 2000 to 2010 and from 2011 to 2019), wet deposition of most ions—especially calcium, ammonium and nitrates—had decreased in 2020. There was a 35-fold decrease in nitrogen fluxes and a 5-fold decrease in sulphur fluxes in aerosols, as well as 1.6-fold and 1.3-fold decreases, respectively, in precipitation.

Influence of Absorption Cross-Sections on Retrieving the Ozone Vertical Distribution at the Siberian Lidar Station

et al. 2022

The purpose of this paper is to study how the application of different sets of absorption cross-sections influence the ozone vertical distribution (OVD) in the upper layers of the troposphere—stratosphere in the altitude range ~(5–45) km, using a differential absorption lidar (DIAL), operating at the sensing wavelengths 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm. We analyzed the results of lidar measurements of OVD obtained in 2021 using meteorological data from the IASI/MetOp satellite at the Siberian Lidar Station (SLS). The retrieval was performed using the data of four groups concerning the absorption cross-sections: Gorshelev et al., Malicet et al., SCIAMACHY, and GOME. To estimate how the absorption cross-sections influence the OVD retrieval from lidar measurements, we calculated the average deviations between the profiles retrieved using different sets both in a particular case on 2 January 2021 and throughout 2021. Our study showed that, out of the four absorption cross-section sets, the data of Gorshelev et al. should be used for long-term lidar monitoring of the ozone. These data show a more discrete dependence of the absorption cross-sections on the temperature values, which is more urgent for tropospheric and stratospheric ozone measurements.
