The purpose of this work is to measure the ozone vertical distribution (OVD) in the upper troposphere–stratosphere by differential absorption lidar (DIAL) at 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm and to compare and analyze the results against satellite data. А lidar complex for measuring the OVD in the altitude range ≈(5–45) km has been created. Here we analyze the results of ozone lidar measurements at wavelengths of 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm in 2018 at Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) and compare them with satellite (MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp) measurements of OVD. The retrieved lidar OVD profiles in the upper troposphere–stratosphere in comparison with MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp profiles, as well as the stitched OVD profile in comparison with the mid-latitude Krueger model, confirm the prospects of using the pairs of ozone sounding wavelengths 299/341 and 308/353 nm.

“…In our past work [7], we considered comparisons of ozone vertical distribution (OVD) measurements by the SLS lidar complex and Aura/MetOp satellites in the stratosphere and in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere, where model temperature values were used in the retrieval of lidar OVD. It should be noted that lidar stations similar to SLS operate in different parts of the world: Tsukuba (36.05 • N, 140.13 • E), Japan [8,9]; Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP) (43.94 • N, 5.71 • E), France [10,11]; Hefei (31.82 • N, 117.22 • E), China [12,13]; Table Mountain Facility (TMF) (34.4 • N, 117.7 • W), USA [14,15]; Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) (37.1 • N, 76.39 • W), USA [16,17]; Vladivostok (43.3 • N, 132 • E), Russia [18]; Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) or Tomsk (56.50 • N, 85.00 • E), Russia [19,20]; Yangbajing Observatory (30 • 5 N, 90 • 33 E), China [21].…”

The purpose of the work is to study the influence of temperature correction on ozone vertical distribution (OVD) in the upper troposphere–stratosphere in the altitude range~(5–45) km, using differential absorption lidar (DIAL), operating at the sensing wavelengths 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm. We analyze the results of lidar measurements, obtained using meteorological data from MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp satellites and temperature model, at the wavelengths of 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm in 2018 at Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) of Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. To estimate how the temperature correction of absorption cross-sections influences the OVD retrieval from lidar measurements, we calculated the deviations of the difference between two profiles, retrieved using satellite- and model-based temperatures. Two temperature seasons were singled out to analyze how real temperature influences the retrieved OVD profiles. In the stratosphere, when satellite-derived temperature and model are used for retrieval, the deviations may reach absolute values of ozone concentration in the range from −0.97 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 19.7 km to 1.05 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 25.3 km during winter–spring season, and from −0.17 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at height of 17.4 km to 0.27 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 40 km in summer–fall period. In the troposphere, when satellite-derived temperature is used in the retrieval, the deviations may reach absolute values of ozone concentration in the range from −1.95 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 18.6 km to 1.23 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 18.2 km during winter–spring season, and from −0.15 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at height of 11.4 km to 0.3 × 1012 molecules × cm–3 at 8 km during summer–fall season.

“…Some anthropogenic ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, may also be transported to the stratosphere and influence the stratospheric ozone, while stratospheric ozone may transport to the troposphere and influence the tropospheric ozone (Elliot and Rowland, 1987;Schauffler et al, 1999;Butchart and Scaife, 2001;Newman et al, 2009;Oram et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2019Wang et al, , 2020. Research on stratosphere-troposphere exchange is therefore important in studying stratospheric ozone evolution (Liu et al, 2003;Tian et al, 2008;Bian et al, 2011aBian et al, , 2020Guo et al, 2012Guo et al, , 2015Guo et al, , 2017Xie et al, 2012;Pavlov et al, 2013;Gerber, 2015;. Previous studies have determined the structural distribution, vertical transport, and dynamics (Antokhin and Belan, 2013) of ozone in the stratosphere via LiDAR measurements (Kuang et al, 2012;Pavlov et al, 2013) the inversion of occultation data (Sofieva et al, 2017) and numerical simulations (Yang et al, 2004;Considine et al, 2008).…”

Calculation of the Vertical Velocity in the Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone Region Using the Thermodynamic Method With in situ and Satellite Data

Correctly calculating the vertical velocity of the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone (ASMA) region is helpful for accurately knowing the ozone stratosphere-troposphere exchange, so as to explore the variation of ozone in the ASMA region. Therefore, the vertical velocity over the ASMA in June, July, August, and September 2012 and 2016 was calculated using the thermodynamic method, which may avoid the deviations produced by the kinematics method using the mass continuity equation. In order to improve the accuracy, we used high-resolution heating rate datasets obtained via the radiation model in Canadian Atmospheric Global Climate Model called CanAM4.3_RAD based on in situ observations and revised satellite data from MLS/AIRS. The vertical velocity calculated by the thermodynamic method (V T) is then compared with the data from ERA-Interim (V ERA−I). In the daytime, values of V T were similar to V ERA−I and were dominated by ascending motion, although V T showed descending motion at the western edge of the ASMA below 100 hPa. The intensity of V T was slightly smaller than that of V ERA−I at lower levels (200-100 hPa) over the ASMA region and significantly weaker above 100 hPa. The situation was more complex at night. Both V T and V ERA−I showed the convergence of vertical wind at 150 hPa and the divergence at 80 hPa, but V T had a smaller standard deviation. V T showed descending in the western and northern ASMA, but V ERA−I only descended in the west. The descending motion in the west, seen in both V T and V ERA−I , is produced by the heating difference between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Iranian Plateau. The difference of the two vertical velocities in the northern ASMA may indicate the different understandings of the local Hadley Circulation and local Brewer-Dobson Circulation.
